The Mayor of Kingston always knows how to grab your attention from the start. There’s always something dramatic happening, usually right at the beginning of an episode.
As we head toward the finale of a short 10-episode season, there is no hope for a fourth season and anyone is at risk of demise.
The storyline is set up in such a way that just about anyone can go. Make sure you follow TV Fanatic in case we have any big updates on your favorite shows. Now, here’s our review of The Mayor of Kingston Season 3 Episode 7: Maria Is Here.
Iris goes deep undercover with Constantine, and we expect it won’t be long before he discovers her devotion to Mike. She had aroused suspicion, diverting the call away from listening ears.
But she may have had a nervous breakdown when she heard the news that twelve Russian girls had drowned after a lorry was pushed off a bridge.

Constantine couldn’t turn her attention away from the breaking news. Even when threats of violence were made, Ayres did not respond. Has she gotten over it, or is it part of a drug-induced haze?
The criminal overlord seems to have a soft spot for Alice. But Constantine’s rapid-fire rage is terrifying, especially since we see him rambling wildly while hallucinating.
How long can Alice remain sane when she’s in such deep trouble? Will she make it to the season finale?
Mike is working hard to manage things inside and outside the prison. The Aryans are gaining strength, and several guards are targeting the rabbits on the inside.
Last episode, they attacked Mack’s insider, prison guard Carney. In this episode, they go after Bonnie’s second-in-command, Rafe.
We never expected Mike to turn on Rabbit, especially on Aryan’s orders.

But can we really blame him? Fueled by power and the false belief that he is untouchable, Rabbit becomes more cunning throughout the incident.
We’ve seen his ruthlessness in previous episodes. While Mac and Iris were inside, his men opened fire on Constantine’s bar, nearly killing Mac.
So, now that the war has become personal, how far will he go?
Bonnie has a lot to seek revenge on, from his cousin’s death to his second-in-command being taken to jail. Mike then has the police attack the Colombians, which cuts off Bonnie’s supply of drugs.

Will we see the end of Bunny Washington before the season ends? He and Mike were no longer on good terms.
In the review for The Mayor of Kingston season 3, episode 6, another TV fanatic mentioned Mike’s tenacity for revenge. He becomes almost bloodthirsty as he seeks justice for those he believes are responsible for wrongdoing.
Now he is passionate about the man who ordered the mass murder of Russian girls.
He even admitted to Evelyn, a sworn government official, that those in charge would not see justice inside the courtroom.
inauspicious.
Mike wasn’t the only one seeking justice. This season, we’re seeing more of the female side of prison. Tracey is stepping up to defend the female prisoners lost after Miriam’s death.

Begins by trying to help a pregnant female prisoner who was raped by a prison guard. Tracy refuses to let go, which puts her under the watchful eye of a nasty guard. Their confrontation in the parking lot also shocked us.
It’s not out of the question that her character could be written off the show. This isn’t the first time a writer has killed the mother of an infant.
We have to wonder what Kyle would do as a single dad.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Kyle or the entire family chatting with Mr. Radical, though. He doesn’t mind roughing up those who can’t fight back. Let’s see what he would think if he were the one being dealt with.
But after Kyle’s interaction with Evelyn at the bar, we have to wonder if her warning about Robert’s psyche is a hint that something sinister might be going on with Kyle. At the hands of his psychopathic brother?
He really gives us some Voight vibes after attacking the Colombians. Evelyn said Robert liked killing people, right?
Speaking of psychopaths, the writers of Mork do a great job of making us feel a soft spot for a horrific serial killer.

We’re not talking about Mike. He’s killed enough people to be classified by now, right?
But seriously, how embarrassing is it that we feel sympathy for Charlie Pickens despite his impressive numbers and violent tendencies?
Former SWAT star Kenny Johnson does a great job making serial killer Charlie seem childish and innocent, which makes him all the more dangerous.
Is it wrong to hope that serial killers won’t be caught for more murders? Or if he did, Ian was down with him ever since he took Charlie out of jail and used him?
As usual, this episode depicts systemic corruption not only in the legal system, but also in a system set up to rehabilitate criminals.
Many of us expected Karim to take control of the prison once he became warden. But so far, things appear to be spiraling further out of control.
If he cannot control the Aryans, he may end up causing another riot. He already has a guard who doesn’t see him as a source of power.
They follow the Aryan leader Meir. Who colluded with Russian leader Constantine?
Both Karim and Mike are quickly losing control, and it may not be long before things get too serious for Mike to save.

If Mike can’t bring peace to all parties, does he still deserve to be mayor?
If McCluskey is not the mayor of Kingston, who is he?
