KINGSTOWN, MICHIGAN: 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 has been generating significant buzz for its intense storyline and character development.

The storyline for Season 3 dives deeper into the power struggles and criminal underworld of Kingstown. 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 features various subplots that enrich the narrative and provide a deeper understanding of the characters and the town's dynamics. 

However, it's been 5 episodes already, and the show still doesn't know what to do with Kyle McLusky (Taylor Handley) and Tracy (Nishi Munshi). While Kyle has been given a career change, Tracy has not been seen much.

What will 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 do with Kyle and Tracy's subplots?

The show's primary focus might be on the central plot revolving around Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner) and the complex dynamics of Kingstown's criminal and political landscape. As a result, Tracy might not receive as much attention or development in the series.

Noticing a pattern in the show, female characters are often given less importance than male characters. Additionally, a significant number of female characters are subjected to fatal outcomes or premature deaths as part of the narrative. 

Despite Kyle and Tracy recently becoming parents, viewers have only caught fleeting glimpses of their family life. The show has yet to fully explore how they navigate the challenges of parenthood amid the tumultuous environment of Kingstown.

In 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 3 Episode 6, it appears that Kyle and Tracy may be used as tools to provoke Mike into confronting his adversaries. Given the premise of Episode 6, which suggests that Mike may face an imminent threat, there's a strong possibility that his enemies could target his brother Kyle to provoke a reaction.

If something happens to Tracy and her baby, it would likely serve as a direct trigger for Mike to confront the two new enemies: Konstantin (Yorick van Wageningen) and Merle Callahan (Richard Brake).

Given the pattern observed in the show, it appears likely that Tracy may meet a tragic end while Kyle and the baby survive. Kyle's recent entry into the SWAT team makes it unlikely that the show will remove his character.

How would Tracy's death affect Mike McLusky?

Since the beginning of 'Mayor of Kingstown' Season 1, Mike has been known for his drive to fix problems and keep people safe in Kingstown. Whether it's managing the complex dynamics of the town's criminal underbelly or safeguarding his family and allies, Mike always tries best to fix everything.

However, Mike tends to react after things have happened rather than proactively anticipating and preventing them. If Tracy gets killed just like his mother, Mike would likely be consumed by a desire for revenge against Konstantin and Merle.

He would seek help from Ian Ferguson (Hugh Dillon) and Iris (Emma Laird), and tirelessly work towards gathering evidence of how their drug business is impacting Kingstown. Ultimately, he would gather enough evidence to expose their operations. 

With Bunny's assistance, Mike would strategically dismantle their business operations, targeting their key assets and networks. By systematically dismantling their operations, Mike may restore order and stability to the town's troubled streets.
