In 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3, Episode 7, the rising body count places immense pressure on law enforcement agencies.
'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 6 begins with the tragic death of Rhonda (Nona Parker Johnson). In 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 7, another death rocks Kingstown, further complicating matters for Mike and intensifying the already volatile atmosphere in Kingstown.
What happened to Russian girls?
In the opening scene of 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 7, a tense and tragic event unfolds as a group of Russian girls on a bus attempt to cross the border into Kingstown.
Their journey, possibly in search of a new life or refuge, takes a horrifying turn when their bus is intercepted, either by authorities or individuals with nefarious intentions.
As a result, the bus is stopped and redirected towards a river, leading to a tragic incident where the bus plunges into the water, resulting in the deaths of the Russian girls on board.
Ian Ferguson (Hugh Dillon) takes the lead in uncovering the circumstances behind the bus accident. Ian reveals to Mike evidence suggesting foul play in the girls' deaths, indicating that someone may have intentionally caused the bus to crash into the river.
Mike suggests that Merle Callahan (Richard Brake), the leader of Aryan Brotherhood, might be behind the accident, but Ian proposes that Bunny Washington (Tobi Bamtefa) could be responsible.
It emerges that the girls who were tragically killed while crossing into Kingstown belonged to Konstantin (Yorick van Wageningen). Initially, this fact leads many to dismiss the idea that Konstantin could be involved in their deaths, assuming he would protect them at all costs.
However, it seems he is the one responsible for their deaths. It appears that Konstantin is aware that Iris is betraying him, so he may have killed those girls to teach her a lesson.
When Iris finds out that those girls were killed, she becomes numb and breaks down in tears, deeply affected by the tragedy. Konstantin notices her distress and tells her not to dwell on this incident.
His comment suggests that Iris may have experienced something similar in her own past. It seems Konstantin may be planning a slow and deliberate form of vengeance against her.
He aims to send a clear message to Iris and others who might consider crossing him, demonstrating that betraying him comes with a steep price. Konstantin might be trying to make Iris suffer emotionally because she betrayed him.
Will Konstantin kill Iris?
There's a chilling possibility that Konstantin is planning a slow and deliberate way to ultimately kill Iris. At first, he will mentally and emotionally torture her, weakening Iris to the point where she may consider taking her own life.
Konstantin may also be planning to harm Mike because Iris has been collaborating with him. He may try to target Mike's family as a way to exact revenge.
However, it seems that Mike may take steps to protect Iris and his family, especially after the deaths of those Russian girls. The tragic incident could serve as a catalyst for Mike to plan a retaliation against Konstantin.
This escalating tension sets the stage for a dangerous game of cat and mouse between Mike and Konstantin, each determined to outmaneuver the other in Kingstown.
