Warning! SPOILERS about Mayor of Kingstown season 3, episode 10 ahead.
Summary
The season 3 finale ofMayor of Kingstownincluded various killer sentences worthy of being remembered, but one line from Milo in his final confrontation with Mike perfectly summed up one of Mike’s long-standing problems. IfMilo’s return inMayor of Kingstownseason 3, episode 9’s ending only hinted at his involvement in many ofMayor of Kingstownseason 3’s biggest events, the season 3 finale precisely revealed which operations were executed by the Russian mobster who cheated death twice. Milo and Mike’s vicious exchange gave them a chance not to leave anything aboutMayor of Kingstownseason 3 unexplained.
The two new gang leaders inMayor of Kingstownseason 3 and their attempts to build up their presence made it easier for chaos to reign in Kingstown, and Milo fully took advantage of it.Having a hand in both the bombing at Mariam’s funeral ofMayor of Kingstownseason 3’s premiere and the shocking bus tragedyof season 3, episode 7,Milo made sure to use such events in his favor, only reappearing when he knew he could have had the upper hand against Konstantin. However, Milo’s plan revelation also included a biting retort highlighting Mike’s worst character flaw.
Mayor Of Kingstown Season 3 Proves Mike Finally Learned From His Past In A Surprising Way
One peculiarity of Mike’s plan to re-establish order in Kingstown shows how much he learned from his mistakes in Mayor of Kingstown season 2.
Milo’s Question About The Bus Tragedy Victims In Mayor Of Kingstown Season 3 Proved Mike’s Issue
Women Were Always A Blind Spot For Mike
Mike made a point to highlight how Milo’s actions went past a point of no return because he bombed his mother’s funeral and pushed a busload of underage girls off the bridge only to hit Konstantin, to which Milo quipped, “What bothers you more, Mike? Their gender or their age?” Albeit entirely unsympathetic,Milo’s quip proved a point thatMayor of Kingstownmade time and time again, as Mike either underestimated women or wanted to protect themand be their knight in shining armor.
Mike’s issue with women appeared repeatedly inMayor of Kingstownseason 3. Mike took Anna’s casebecause she reminded him of his mother, which consequently caused him to ignore the many warning signals that hinted at her willingness to kill her son’s murderer had Mike been unable to help. Similarly,Mike denied Iris’s agency when she wanted to help him with Konstantin, only agreeing to her mission because Iris forced his hand by going to Cavo alonewithout him knowing. Finally, Mike killed Milo because Milo highlighted how Mike was unable to protect Mariam and was the reason she died.
Mike’s Question To Iris Hints He Acknowledged Her Agency
Mike Let Iris Choose What To Do With Konstantin
Milo already noticed Mike’s weakness inMayor of Kingstownseason 1, as he realized he couldn’t manipulate him by sending Iris to seduce him, but he was successful in doing so if he hurt Iris. Even the reason why Mike was pushed to become mayor following Mitch’s death inMayor of Kingstown’s series premiere had something to do with a mother in difficulty who asked for the mayor’s help. Throughout the seasons,Mayor of Kingstownhinted at Mike’s issue, but no one called it out until Milo inMayor of Kingstownseason 3.
However, Mike’s choice as Milo and Konstantin pushed Iris to kill Konstantin may have hinted at his change of heart. While Milo only offered Iris two options, to die or do his bidding by killing Konstantin,Mike actually asked Iris what she wanted to do. While a small detail, it could suggest Mike understood his mistake, pointing to Mike finally facing his problem afterMayor of Kingstownseason 3.
