He plans to retaliate against Konstantin, believing that he contaminated his drug supply with lethal additives that caused multiple deaths within Kingstown.
Later in the episode, Iris goes to a club to meet Konstantin. He appears pleased to see her and displays a level of concern for her safety. Mike visits Konstantin's place and requests a moment to have a conversation.

Bunny Washington's action may put Mike McLusky in jeopardy
Bunny is furious because Konstantin attempted to contaminate his drugs, prompting him to retaliate by attacking Konstantin's place. However, it appears that Bunny is not done and may take further actions to harm Konstantin.
The escalating tension between the two suggests that Bunny is prepared to go to greater lengths to undermine Konstantin's operations and protect his own interests. Bunny is willing to do anything to protect his drug business. His next moves could involve more direct confrontations or strategic attacks against Konstantin's network.
He might try to contaminate Konstantin's drugs as an act of revenge. The rivalry between Konstantin and Bunny could have serious consequences for Mike.
If Bunny retaliates, Konstantin might go to any lengths to protect his business, potentially leading to increased violence in Kingstown. The escalating conflict could create a chaotic and dangerous environment, making it difficult for Mike to maintain balance and peace in Kingstown.
Iris's loyalty to Mike McLusky endangers her life
Konstantin is ruthless when it comes to betrayal, showing no hesitation in killing those who deceive him. If he discovers that Iris is double-crossing him by aiding Mike and playing games, he could resort to extreme measures, potentially killing her.
Konstantin's merciless nature and desire to maintain control over his operations make him a formidable threat.
Konstantin's feelings for Iris run deep, and her betrayal could profoundly devastate him. The fallout from such a betrayal could not only endanger Iris but also create a dangerous situation in Kingstown.
Iris's death could intensify Mike's determination to bring justice to those responsible, potentially escalating the conflict further. Mike would likely blame himself for involving her in such perilous circumstances, grappling with feelings of guilt and regret.
Merle Callahan may try to kill Mike McLusky and his family
Merle's potential threat to Mike and his family could escalate tensions to a dangerous level in 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 6.
As the leader of the Aryan Brotherhood, Merle holds significant power and influence within the criminal underworld of Kingstown. If Mike intervenes between Merle's plan to target Bunny and his drug business, Merle could resort to extreme measures.
If Merle decides to target Mike and his family, it could result in devastating consequences. His resources within the Aryan Brotherhood, including loyal followers and access to illicit activities, provide him with the means to carry out such a threat effectively.
