But in this weeks episode, Mike comes across as … competent?
Maybe even a few steps ahead of his enemies?
Am I watching the right show?
emergencies that define life in Kingstown.
(This is probably not the best week for a TV series to air an episode featuring a sniper.
But then, few weeks are these days.)
Three inmates and one CO are killed.
One of the Aryans gets his face blown off.
(Its disgusting!)
Merle Callahan is hospitalized … and enraged.
The attack raises two questions: (1) Whos responsible?
(2) Can Mike turn this situation to his advantage?
Ordinarily, the answer to the second question would be, He could, but he wont.
Something seems to be cooking in Mikes noggin.
Merle tries to blame Mike for what happened, saying he failed in his promise to hit Bunny Washington.
Now he wants more than just increased police pressure on the Crips.
Merle wants everyone dead.
Of course, Mike secretly knows that Bunnydoeshave that kind of firepower.
(Also, we saw that the sniper was Black.)
But its easy to convince a bigot like Merle that the white guys are better organized and better armed.
Then Mike catches a break.
Since the Crips dont traffic women, they dont seem like likely candidates.
But how about these rude Aryans, who have hopped onto his yacht demanding dope?
Time to set that motherfuckers river on fire, he snarls at a henchman.
Did Mike actuallyplanall this?
Or did he just get lucky?
And then Mike smiles mysteriously and to Ferguson infuriatingly.
As with the past fewMayor of Kingstownepisodes, this one is disappointingly low on action.
After an explosive opening, we immediately downshift to more scenes of talking and scheming.
But at least the scheming seems more purposeful and fruitful this time.
He means to set her up with a new identity and a fully funded new life elsewhere.
Why wont the Kingstowners flee?
Naturally, Ferguson doesnt win a million dollars.
But what if he had?
How big of a windfall would it take for any of these folks to take the money and run?
Or do they all know in their bones that for crooks like them, this just isnt done?
Somethings going on there.
Kevin may be thinking about becoming an actual conscientious prison employee.
Perhaps there are still consequences for crossing the McLuskys!
Mikey, Im doing fuckin police work up here, he grumbles.
