Contains spoilers for 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3

KINGSTOWN, MICHIGAN: Since the first season of 'Mayor of Kingstown,' Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner) has faced various daunting challenges while striving to restore balance in Kingstown.

As the unofficial Mayor, Mike navigates a complex and dangerous web of crime, corruption, and conflict that engulfs Kingstown. His friendship with Bunny Washington (Tobi Bamtefa) serves as a source of support, as viewers have seen in Season 2 and Season 3.

Bunny becomes a reliable confidant and ally for Mike, providing him with insights and information that are crucial for navigating the town's criminal underworld. 

In Season 2, Bunny's cousin Rhonda (Nona Parker Johnson) was introduced, and there was noticeable chemistry between her and Mike.

'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 is no different, as the chemistry between Mike and Rhonda continues to develop and become more evident.

Is Mike McLusky in love with Rhonda?

In 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 2, when Mike met Rhonda, he was quickly impressed by her because of the way she talked. However, there was never a hint that Mike had feelings for her, perhaps because Season 2 was filled with Iris (Emma Laird) playing dumb.

In 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3, Episode 5, Mike meets Rhonda again while searching for Bunny. Unable to find Bunny, he visits Rhonda's salon upon learning that she is back.

Despite knowing that Rhonda might not have information about Bunny, Mike still decided to visit her. Perhaps, he is attracted to her.

He inquires about her business, and when she mentions plans to expand into spa services, he politely listens, even though he's not usually interested in such things. This suggests that Mike has developed feelings for her

However, in Episode 5, Mike kisses Evelyn Foley (Necar Zadegan) and makes a promise to solve the drug crisis, suggesting a potential relationship between them. 

In 'Mayor of Kingstown,' Evelyn and Mike are involved in a secret affair, which goes beyond professional interactions, evident in their intimate moments and Mike's admiration for Evelyn's beauty.

Will Mike McLusky and Rhonda's relationship develop further in 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3?

In 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 5, Bunny playfully teases Mike when he learns that Mike visited Rhonda's salon. This hints that Bunny may suspect Mike has developed feelings for Rhonda.

Bunny's understanding of Mike's usual routines and interests enables him to notice that Mike intentionally visited Rhonda, suggesting their relationship may extend beyond a casual acquaintance.

Mike's behavior with Rhonda is unlike any other woman he's encountered. He becomes noticeably nervous around her and actively seeks opportunities to engage in conversation. It's genuinely captivating to watch.

It appears that there is potential for Mike and Rhonda to end up together towards the end of 'Mayor of Kinsgtown' Season 3.

While Mike's secret relationship with Evelyn remains known only to the two of them, his dynamic with Rhonda is evolving in a manner that hints at a deeper connection.

Mike may break up with Evelyn and his interactions with Rhonda may become more open and significant.

As their interactions deepen and their connection grows, Mike may find himself compelled to be honest about his emotions. Mike might also eventually open up to Rhonda about his feelings, expressing how much he likes her.

On Reddit, one fan wrote "There’s definitely some chemistry between Rhonda and Mike so I hope Mike doesn’t try to downplay it like he doesn’t care. It would be cool to see Mike go off like he did to the AB in season 2."

Another fan wrote on Reddit, "I haven’t watch ep 5 yet, but I always thought there was chemistry between Mike and Rhonda! Way more than Mike and Iris."

On X, one die-hard fan of the show wrote, "Rhonda likes Mike BUT Mike likes Evelyn... He's attracted to Rhonda... Once he realizes he and Evelyn will NEVER be a thing I think he will go to Rhonda. That relationship however is going to be a HUGE problem tho..ESPECIALLY with Mike's past AB relations.."

Another fan said, "Tbh Bunny's soldier teasing Mike about Rhonda is HILARIOUS ... But now that I'm watching it again....Mike know DAMN WELL he didn't need to go in that salon... He lowkey just wanted to see Rhonda too.."

Another fan shared their excitement about Season 2, saying, "FINALLY.. I got to S2xE5!! @kingstown The scenes w/ Mike and Rhonda (Bunny's cousin) – omg loved it! Love her!!"

It remains to be seen how Mike's relationships with both Evelyn and Rhonda will unfold as the season progresses.
