Episode 6 of 'Mayor of Kingstown' stars the recurring characters, with Mike McLusky as the show's protagonist. We also see sex worker Iris, secret agents Kyle McLusky (Taylor Handley) and Ian Ferguson (Hugh Dillon).

The plot for this episode is quite dark as a whole, so you might want to brace yourselves for this one. Unlike Episode 5 where we saw Mike's (Jeremy Renner) soft side, Episode 6 has him bashing up people who mercilessly beat Iris (Emma Laird) black and blue.

'Mayor of Kingstown' Episode 3: What happened to Kenny? Here's how Mike's plan backfired

With Mike playing the role of middleman and messenger between prison and the outside world, things are bound to get ugly over time. He has no choice but to keep his word to both parties, as well as take up favors and deliver the same so that nobody gets hurt in the process. There's a little bit of politics in every aspect of life, and prison life thrives on it.

Iris, as we've seen in some of the previous episodes, is a rather mysterious and exotic sex worker, hired by Milo Sunter. Although the man himself is behind bars, he has his men cater to Iris' needs and has them monitor her progress as a stripper. While they think her approach to this field of work is quite bizarre, Iris thinks otherwise. She stands firm on her ground as to not offer even a lap dance to her customers, or even a little dance. All she does is sway and converse with men, to bring in the big bucks.

Having said that, Sunter gets irked when Iris doesn't do her job as a professional stripper, and also because Mike watches out for her. Due to both these reasons that seemed to have frustrated him, he has one of his men hit Iris in the Jungle Room; he punches her stomach and hits her hand with a hammer. She cries in pain from severed ribs and a bruised, broken arm. What lies in store for Mike and Iris now?

Stay tuned for new episodes of 'Mayor of Kingstown' to air every Sunday at 3 am ET, only on Paramount+.
