KINGSTOWN, MICHIGAN: 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 is reaching new levels of intensity, and Episode 6 has certainly raised the stakes.

'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 6 unfolds with shocking moments that shake the foundations of Kingstown

In Episode 5, Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner) discovers that the Aryan Brotherhood and Konstantin (Yorick van Wageningen) are collaborating to supply drugs in Kingstown. In Episode 6, Rhonda (Nona Parker Johnson) gets killed. There's a lot to uncover in Episode 6. So, let's jump in!

'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 6 starts with the devastating event of Rhonda being fatally shot outside her beauty salon.

Ian Ferguson (Hugh Dillon) and Mike arrive at the scene to assess the situation, both visibly angered. They think that Konstantin's ties with the Aryan Brotherhood may have led to Rhonda's death, especially since she was Bunny Washington's (Tobi Bamtefa) cousin.

Mike suggests raiding Konstantin's location to gather evidence of drug trafficking and facilitate his arrest, believing he is responsible for Rhonda's death.

During the interrogation, Ian says he knows Konstantin killed Tatiana (Gratiela Brancusi). However, Konstantin denies any involvement. When asked about the drug residue found during the raid, Konstantin insists on consulting with Milo Sunter (Aidan Gillen), claiming he believes in spirits.

Everyone believes Milo is dead, but Konstantin's cryptic message suggests that he may be alive and could have killed Rhonda to disrupt the peace in Kingstown. 

It's also plausible that Konstantin and Milo are collaborating, and they planned Milo's supposed death as part of their strategy to operate covertly without detection.

Bunny was the key figure in Kingstown's drug supply network, managing operations smoothly until Konstantin's arrival disrupted his stronghold. With Konstantin and the Aryan Brotherhood trafficking drugs in Kingstown, Bunny's authority and control over the drug trade have been significantly undermined.

In Episode 5, Bunny takes a drastic step by firing a shotgun at Konstantin's place. The possibility arises that Konstantin, possibly in collaboration with Milo if he is indeed alive, planned Rhonda's murder as payback.

Will Konstantin and Merle Callahan kill Bunny Washington in 'Mayor of Kingstown'?

It has been revealed that Konstantin is collaborating with Merle Callahan (Richard Brake), the leader of the Aryan Brotherhood, and together they have set their sights on targeting Bunny. This alliance poses a serious threat to Bunny's position and safety in Kingstown. 

Killing Rhonda may have been a warning, but the main target is to kill Bunny. In 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 6, Merle asks Mike to target Bunny because he is the one disrupting the balance in Kingstown.

It seems likely that in the next episode, they will plan to kill Bunny under Milo's guidance. However, considering how much Mike admires Bunny, he might devise a plan to protect him. 

Mike's efforts to safeguard Bunny may become a crucial subplot in the upcoming episodes. However, the revelation of Milo being alive could pose a threat to Mike.

'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 6 is now streaming on Paramount+
