== Synopsis ==
Danger erupts when Iris confronts her past; the Mayor finds a new chess piece as Bunny and Konstantin's rivalry reaches new heights.
== Plot ==
Mayor of Kingstown season 3, episode 5, opens with Kyle McLusky (Taylor Handley) participating in a SWAT raid, which turns out to be a training exercise. Kyle impresses Robert Sawyer (Hamish Allan-Headley) by killing the main suspect and expresses his excitement about officially joining the SWAT team. Both Tracy (Nishi Munshi) and Mike (Jeremy Renner) note how proud their late mother Mariam (Dianne Wiest) would have been, and Mike finally meets his nephew.
Meanwhile, Mike learns from Evelyn (Necar Zadegan) that 18 overdoses have occurred in two weeks, with Russian meth and opioids tainting Bunny’s (Tobi Bamtefa) drug supply. Evelyn warns that the information has already reached the authorities, prompting Mike to scramble to prevent a gang war between Bunny and Konstantin (Yorick van Wageningen). Bunny, however, is already preparing for violence, arming his crew with grenades and rifles to strike back at Konstantin.
At the same time, Iris (Emma Laird) reconnects with Konstantin at the Cavo club, where he praises her and shares their deep connection, even revealing that he was the one who named her. Mike shows up and warns Konstantin to stop sabotaging Bunny’s drug supply, but the situation quickly escalates when Bunny’s men attack the club, killing two of Konstantin’s men.
In the aftermath, Mike urges Konstantin not to retaliate and criticizes Bunny for the impulsive attack. Bunny, shocked to learn that Mike was at the scene, asks him to ensure that Konstantin doesn’t come after him or his family.
Iris tells Mike she’s trying to get closer to Konstantin to gather intelligence for him, but she refuses to wear a wire, asking Mike to trust her. Mike agrees but remains worried about the danger she’s in. Later, Mike and Ian (Hugh Dillon) surveil from a distance as Iris boards Konstantin’s yacht to continue gathering information.
Inside the yacht, Iris secures a hostess job at Cavo, promising to be better than Tatiana. As she and Konstantin exchange drugs and money with the Aryan Brotherhood, Iris calls Mike, revealing that the Brotherhood is funding the Russian drugs. After the exchange, Ian spots something in the rearview mirror, and the episode ends with Mike and Ian speeding away, sensing imminent danger.
