Mayor of Kingstown S2 Episode 8: Release Date, Recap, and Speculation

The latest episode of season 2 of Mayor of Kingstown addresses the minor plotlines, taking a break from the big stuff, to fully understand the big picture. The new episode focuses on Gunner’s drug operation at Anchor Bay and Kyle’s continued spiral into self-destruction.

The episode also touches upon Mike losing yet another ally in Evelyn after DA Lockett’s death at Bunny’s hands and with Mike’s involvement. Kyle’s drunken mess storyline is depressing, but one good thing’s come out of it – he has pinpointed where Iris currently is, hinting at Milo’s location as well.

So what will episode 8 bring to season 2 of Mayor of Kingstown? 

Episode 8 Synopsis/Speculation

Mike may have lost all his allies, but all his ducks are finally lining up in a row, and he will be on the warpath to claim all he’s lost in the next episode.

The Mayor of Kingstown will probably go after both the leads he’s received in this week’s episode, prioritizing rescuing Iris over figuring out the story with Ben Morrissey.

Evelyn might have lost faith in Mike, but she will probably release Bunny and the other gang leaders, fearing she may face the same fate as DA Lockett.

Kyle is currently in a miserable situation, and I’m afraid the remaining episodes will not be kinder on the younger McLusky. We just have to see how he saves or bungles Robert’s case in the following episode.

Episode 7 Recap

Mayor of Kingstown S2 Episode 8: Release Date, Recap, and Speculation
Kyle Discovers Iris

The episode opens with drones flying over Anchor Bay prison and landing with loads of drugs, all avoided by the guards, of course. Mike confronts Bunny about having the DA murdered, but Bunny asks him to concentrate on getting him out. After Mike’s last warning, Carney reveals to Mike Davidson has eased up on the watch.

Mike arranges an upgraded living for Bunny and Raphael, hoping to win back their favor, and visits Evelyn to fast-track their release process. But Evelyn merely holds him accountable for Lockett’s death and states that she will end this war.

Meanwhile, Kyle, Ian, and Robert determine who in the police force used Robert as the scapegoat for the earlier gang riot and pinpoint Ben Morrissey. Mike promises to talk to Ben, and Kyle returns home only to vent his stress on Tracy, resulting in her storming off.

Mike apprehends one of the drone operators on his next visit to the prison and unmasks the leader of the Aryans as the one behind the drug operation and lets him off with a foreboding warning.

Iris has become the social pariah of Milo’s club due to the special treatment she gets from him. She tends to the bar one night in a drug-addled haze when she spots Kyle and figures he recognizes her. She runs, but Kyle already called Mike to alert him of Iris’ location.
