Contains spoilers for 'Mayor of Kingstown’ Season 3 Episode 8
LANSING, MICHIGAN: As 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 approaches its climax, the series is ramping up in intensity, delivering gripping and high-stakes drama that keeps viewers on edge.
Since the premiere of 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3, Merle Callahan (Richard Brake) has emerged as one of Mike McLusky’s (Jeremy Renner) greatest adversaries, primarily due to his role as the leader of the Aryan Brotherhood.
The Aryan Brotherhood is known for its violent tactics and criminal activities. As the leader of the Aryan Brotherhood, Merle wields substantial influence and authority within the criminal underworld.
In the premiere of 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3, Merle's swift transfer to Kingstown Prison highlights his considerable power and influence. Since his arrival, violence and murders have surged in Kingstown, highlighting the impact of his presence.
However, it now seems that Merle's downfall is just on the horizon.
Will Konstantin take down Merle?
In 'Mayor of Kingstown’ Season 3 Episode 8, Konstantin's (Yorick van Wageningen) animosity toward Merle intensifies due to suspicions that Merle might be responsible for a tragic incident involving a bus.
The bus tragedy led to the deaths of several of Konstantin's girls. Even though Konstantin did not personally ordered the bomb attack inside the prison to harm Merle, his reaction to the situation suggested that he was happy.
When Merle’s men came to speak with Konstantin about Merle’s hospitalization, Konstantin appeared almost indifferent or even pleased, as if he welcomed the opportunity.
Konstantin also ended up killing Merle’s men. Konstantin might be using the situation to his advantage, further intensifying their conflict.
If Merle is indeed behind the bus tragedy, as Konstantin suspects, it won’t take Konstantin long to seek revenge and kill Merle.
In the upcoming episodes, Konstantin may be plotting to kill Merle while he is hospitalized following the recent bomb attack inside the prison. Merle’s hospitalization makes him particularly vulnerable. He is likely dealing with significant injuries and is less able to defend himself or mount an escape.
Bunny might also attempt to kill Merle. Bunny was the one who launched the bomb attack inside the prison with the intention of targeting Merle, as he revealed to Kevin (Denny Love), the prison guard, in Episode 8.
This makes Bunny a potential threat to Merle, with the possibility that he might see the hospital as another opportunity to complete his plan.
Is Merle Callahan ill?
At the end of 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 8, Merle is seen vomiting blood in the hospital. This troubling moment implies that Merle could be dealing with severe health problems.
However, there is also a possibility that he might be vomiting blood due to the severe injuries he sustained during the bomb attack.
It’s clear that Merle is not in good health, and this situation will likely help both Konstantin and Bunny to intensify their efforts against him.
They may perceive Merle’s weakened condition as a tactical advantage, making the decision to attack or plan an assassination more enticing.
'Mayor of Kingstown’ Season 3 Episode 8 strongly suggests that Merle’s downfall is imminent.
