## Throughout the Series

### Season 1

In The Mayor of Kingstown, Mitch McLusky is given an assignment by Vera, Milo's wife, who despite being incarcerated is still quite an influential inmate. Milo's assignment is following a map to a cache of $200,000 buried in the woods.

In The Price, Milo tries to keep Mike under his thumb with Iris, an escort that's barely 22 and obviously naïve, and he gives her a year to live in this business if she doesn’t get out. Mike then tells her to report to Milo that they had “a good time”.

In Orion, now that Milo has had Iris relocated from New York to Kingstown, she’s forced to work in a local strip club since Milo doesn’t want her walking the street like the hookers. He then makes her strip off to prove her willingness to work with him.

In Every Feather, Milo has one of his goons brutally assault Iris, assuming Mike might be more inclined to help a broken angel. He’s right, but not in the way he expects. Milo remains an elusive figure, but his influence is felt more deeply here than it has been before.

In Along Came a Spider, Milo continues to toy with Mike, and eventually order his goons to kill and subsequently dispose the body of the turncoat FBI agent.

In The Devil is Us, Milo tells Mike to dig up a “metal box”, which turns out to be a school bus full of 26 dead and rotting corpses. Later, it turns out that the police are going to try and charge Milo for being associated with these murders in any way they can.

In The Lie of the Truth, Kyle McLusky, who along with Ian Ferguson are sent to the prison to escort Milo to county after the whole bus-full-of-dead-bodies incident. P-Dog and Milo orchestrate a brutal, clearly well-planned prison escape that resulted in the deaths of many guards. As a result, Ian and Kyle, who were present to supervise Milo’s transfer to county, were assaulted during the initial break-out.

In This Piece of My Soul, Milo, after helping to initiate the riot in the first place, escapes in a prison guard’s uniform.

### Season 2

In Never Missed a Pigeon, Mike is told that Milo may have escaped. With 300 bodies to identify, no one has seen or heard from the Russian mobster yet. Mike heads to the coroners to meet with Evelyn Foley. He needs an alert putting out if Milo has escaped. It’s absolute chaos there too. Evelyn is dealing with 197 deaths and 724 individual crime investigations. She doesn’t want to intensify this disaster with talk of Milo’s escape, but Mike needs her to act fast, a deadly criminal may be out in the open. Worried about Milo’s prison break, Mike has Iris placed in a safe house. He wants her to start a new life, with a new identity. Whilst under a voluntary house arrest, Iris overhears the others talking about Milo’s escape. She demands to be let outside for some fresh air and of course, she heads straight to Mike’s offices. Iris asks Mike if Milo has definitely escaped. He is unsure, but in his heart, he believes that it is true.

In Staring at the Devil, with both Iris and Mike hiding from escaped Russian mobster Milo, they realize that they cannot hide forever. In the end, Iris wanders the streets at night. She enters a church building and finds Milo hiding out in a back room. She tells the Russian mobster that she has nowhere to go, no home to call her own. Milo accepts her back with open arms and they embrace.

In Five at Five, Milo checks up on Iris.

In The Pool, Milo’s millions are unearthed by a naïve construction worker, leading to much violence.

In Kill Box, now that Milo’s fortune has been dug up and Horace, the man who found it has been murdered for his involvement. Mike worries that more bodies will start to pile up until the bonds are back in Milo’s possession. Joseph is sent to meet with Milo. The Russian boss is angry that Joseph killed the only two people who knew of the bonds’ location. Milo states that he’ll fix things, although he doesn’t kill or punish Joseph for his stupidity.

In Left with the Nose, Kyle passes Mike a hefty duffel bag in the car park containing Milo’s fortune. It turns out that Kyle stole the bonds from the police station’s evidence room. Later, Mike is dumbfounded at the DA’s laid-back attitude. Mike brings out the big guns, inferring that Milo is still alive and out in society, causing no end of chaos. Mike negotiates with the DA. He will give him information on Milo and help get him arrested if he signs the paperwork and frees Deverin "Bunny" Washington.

In Drones, at the club, Iris continues to work her old job in a drug-addled daze. Tatiana eventually then informs her that Milo wants to see her. The other girls, including Tatiana, are jealous of Iris’ connection to Milo, which has led to Iris feeling like an outcast within the group.

In Santa Jesus, as Mike heads home, he is met by Milo. The Russian mobster says that he has heard that Mike has been looking for him.

In Peace in the Valley, Mike and Milo finally reconnect. Milo wants to instigate a simple exchange with Mike, his lucrative bonds in return for Iris. The enemies talk about this exchange and Mike urges Milo to leave town for good. The Russian mobster does want to leave Kingstown forever and suggests that Mike does the same, with or without Iris. Before their meeting concludes, Milo threatens his nemesis, if Mike betrays him and goes back on the deal, then Milo will not just kill Mike; he’ll destroy everything he holds dear. Mike then mentions seeing Milo, and he updates Kyle on the deal that they have both just finalized. The bonds in exchange for Iris’ freedom. Kyle tells Mike that he found Iris at the club. Mike is annoyed Kyle would go to Milo’s club alone, demanding that he doesn’t play the hero anymore. Mike wants Milo out of his life and Iris to be rescued; this proposition solves both problems. Milo is behind the meeting between Iris and Mike, who watches the conversation play out.

In Little Green Ant, Milo and his goons follow Mariam McLusky all the way to the Mariam’s house. Milo wants to make the exchange now and he is tired of waiting on Mike. When Mike enters the house he meets with Milo in the living room. The Russian mobster informs Mike that Iris has killed Joseph, and he will kill Mariam if he has to. Milo says that Mike is out of his depth. Mike tries to reason with Milo, mentioning the delays, Robert Sawyer being hospitalized, and the Aryan Brotherhood attacking him; although Milo isn’t interested in excuses, he wants his bonds back. Outside, Kyle infiltrates the building from the rear, attacking Milo’s goons. A shootout quickly follows, and Milo flees with Iris. As Ian and Mike chat outside the hospital, they need to catch Milo before things escalate even further. Ian agrees to use the full power of the force to track him down. They head straight to Milo’s club and speak with Tatiana. She makes a call, and Milo speaks with Mike again. They agree on a final rendezvous point to finally exchange the bonds for Iris. Milo warns Mike that this is his last chance; if he brings anyone along, they will die, and so will Iris. While Mike makes his way to the dock, Milo speaks privately with Iris. Milo can’t understand why Mike would jeopardize his life for Iris. On Milo’s boat, Mike makes the transaction, swapping the bag of bonds for Iris. Milo lets Iris go free and escapes on his boat. Iris and Mike wait by the water’s edge with Milo’s remaining goons. They watch as Milo’s boat explodes, going up in flames. It looks like Mike rigged the bag with explosives, after all. Ian kicks into action and shoots Milo’s goons. Unbeknownst to everyone, in a final montage, Tatiana is on the phone with Milo and he says everything went fine.
