KINGSTOWN, MICHIGAN: In 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 5, titled 'Iris', Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner) continues to face significant challenges that are far from being resolved.
Konstantin (Yorick van Wageningen) and Bunny Washington's (Tobi Bamtefa) rivalry poses a significant threat to Mike's work in Kingstown. Their ongoing feud not only disrupts the local criminal dynamics but also creates instability and danger for Mike and his efforts to maintain order in Kingstown.
Amid all the chaos, Iris (Emma Laird) emerges as a crucial ally, as she is willing to do anything for Mike. She is prepared to go against Konstantin, risking her own life if it means protecting Mike.
Her actions and decisions could indicate that she has strong feelings for him. Iris demonstrates a commitment that goes beyond mere loyalty. Such behaviors often hint at deeper feelings, potentially indicating romantic affection.

As they come face to face, Konstantin's expression lights up with evident pleasure at seeing her again. He greets her warmly, expressing that he missed her, hinting at a history between them that goes beyond mere acquaintanceship.
Mike and Ian Ferguson (Hugh Dillon) interrogate Iris at the police station, where Mike expresses confusion over her role in Konstantin's activities. Iris clarifies that she's involved with Konstantin to protect Mike, viewing her actions as a way to assist him by pretending to align with Konstantin.
Mike and Ian privately meet with Iris, explaining precisely the type of information they need about Konstantin. Despite Ian's suggestion for her to wear a wire, Iris refuses, fearing that Konstantin would uncover it and kill her immediately.
Later, Mike provides Iris with a burner phone and instructions for its use. During her visit to Konstantin's residence, Iris shares a drink with him, and they eventually share a kiss.
During their meeting, Iris learns that the Aryan Brotherhood and Konstantin have formed an alliance to distribute drugs together. She passes this valuable information to Mike using the burner phone.
The whole situation highlight her deep love and loyalty towards Mike, demonstrating that she is willing to betray even powerful figures like Konstantin for his sake. She is willing to risk everything for Mike, even if it means facing Konstantin's wrath.

Can Iris and Mike McLusky ever be together?

In this tender exchange, Mike expresses his admiration, telling Evelyn how beautiful she is. He reassures her, pledging his commitment to addressing the drug problems that plague Kingstown.
This means Mike is in love with Evelyn, so Iris and Mike can never be together. Mike's affectionate gestures, such as kissing her and expressing admiration for her beauty, suggest a closeness that he may not have shown with Iris.
Mike has developed deeper feelings for Evelyn, contrasting with his interactions with Iris, which may have been more focused on their collaborative efforts rather than romantic involvement.
Iris has already shown vulnerability and struggles with her own demons, including past trauma and an uncertain future. If she finds out about Mike and Evelyn's secret relationship, she may try to harm herself.
For Iris, who already grapples with significant emotional pain, this could be a tragic response to feeling betrayed and abandoned. Iris might decide to retaliate against Mike. This could involve forming alliances with others who also feel betrayed by Mike.
