Captain of the Sh*t Out of Luck

Captain of the Sh*t Out of Luck is the eighth episode of Season 3 and the twenty eighth episode of the Paramount+ series, Mayor of Kingstown overall. It aired on July 21, 2024. 
== Synopsis ==
Anchor Bay is attacked from outside its prison walls. Mike takes care of some important business at Kingstown Women's Prison.
== Plot ==
The episode opens with Merle (Richard Brake) rallying his men in prison, claiming he’s pitted Mike (Jeremy Renner) against Bunny (Tobi Bamtefa) and that they have nothing to lose, unlike Mike. Meanwhile, a mysterious sniper and a biker launch a coordinated attack on the prison, severely injuring Merle and causing widespread chaos.
Mike is informed of the attack by Carney (Lane Garrison), and while it appears that Bunny was responsible, Mike suspects Konstantin (Yorick van Wageningen) orchestrated the assault. Mike visits Merle in the hospital and lies, telling him Bunny couldn’t have done it. Merle demands that both Bunny and Konstantin be taken out, but Mike leaves without revealing his true intentions.
Bunny, meanwhile, calls Kevin Jackson (Denny Love) to adjust their plans since Merle survived, moving some of his crew to safety. However, when SWAT raids Bunny’s hideout, the weapons have vanished, frustrating Robert (Hamish Allan-Headley), who accuses Mike of tipping Bunny off. Tensions rise between Robert and Kyle (Taylor Handley), almost leading to a fight.
Elsewhere, Kareem (Michael Beach) contemplates his own advice after offering mental health support to Kevin, while dealing with his daughter’s issues. Mike checks on Iris (Emma Laird), who is still undercover, despite Konstantin’s attempts to persuade her to leave town for good. However, she remains loyal to Mike’s mission. Meanwhile, Konstantin kills an Aryan Brotherhood member, signaling an escalation in the brewing conflict.
Tracy (Nishi Munshi) confides in Mike that correctional officers, including CO Breen (Matthew Del Negro), have been raping inmates. After Tracy’s emotional breakdown, Mike and Ian (Hugh Dillon) confront Breen, with Mike brutally attacking him, warning him he’s being transferred out of the women’s prison.
