What happened in 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 7?
In 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 7, a tragic event unfolds as a group of Russian girls attempting to cross into Kingstown faces a horrifying fate.
Intercepted by authorities, their bus is forcefully stopped and redirected towards a river. The bus plunges into the water, resulting in the deaths of the girls aboard.
Ian Ferguson (Hugh Dillon) from the Kingstown Police Department takes the lead in uncovering the circumstances behind the bus incident.
Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner) joins Ian at the river where the tragic incident involving the Russian girls occurred.
Ian discloses to Mike evidence suggesting possible foul play in the deaths, hinting that someone might have deliberately caused the bus to crash into the river.
Mike instructs Ian to label it as an accident, warning that refusing to do so could lead to more fatalities soon.
Meanwhile, Konstantin (Yorick van Wageningen) and Iris (Emma Laird) become aware of the incident. Iris is visibly distraught and deeply affected by the tragedy, shedding tears and appearing emotionally shattered by what has occurred.
Later on, Ian suggests Bunny Washington (Tobi Bamtefa) might be responsible for the tragic death of the girls. However, Mike speculates it could also be Merle Callahan (Richard Brake), the leader of the Aryan Brotherhood.
When Mike confronts Bunny, tensions escalate as Bunny expresses anger and frustration. Mike's withholding of information about Merle and Konstantin's secretive dealings only intensifies Bunny's ire.
Bunny is also grieving the loss of Rhonda (Nona Parker Johnson), which adds to his emotional turmoil. When Mike questions Bunny about his involvement in the deaths, Bunny erupts in anger.
Meanwhile, Konstantin begins to harbor suspicions that Iris is keeping secrets, evident from his murmured words in his sleep questioning who is with Iris.

However, Cherry reacts with intense anger, refusing to divulge any information. Later, Tracy faces another confrontation outside in the parking lot when a man threatens her, heightening the tension and danger surrounding her situation.
