Summary

Mayor of Kingstownseason 3, episode 7 called back to one of season 2’s most disturbing events, which could affect some characters negatively were it to be discovered. Despite introducing plenty of new characters and disconcerting tragedies, the consequences ofMayor of Kingstownseason 1’s riots were still felt in season 3, especially as the truth behind the extrajudicial killings struggled to emerge. Assistant DA Evelyn Foley aimed to find some answers from a SWAT team whistleblower inMayor of Kingstownseason 2, but even her attempt to pursue justice was short-lived after Ben Morrissey was found dead.

Her bigger role inMayor of Kingstownseason 3 meant Evelyn continued to pursue Robert Sawyerand his SWAT team. Her contempt for their methods was nevertheless justified, as Robert’s return after the hit on him and the hospital stay coincided with multiple instances of unnecessary killings by his team. While Morrissey’s death inMayor of Kingstownseason 2 forced the investigation into the SWAT team’s violent tendencies to stop,one scene inMayor of Kingstownseason 3, episode 7 hinted that it can easily brought back, especially if one character’s memories were to be shared.

Charlie’s Drawing In Mayor Of Kingstown Season 3 References Ian’s Worst Actions Of Season 2

The “Man On The Porch” Was Ben Morrissey

Ian’s visits to Charlie started inMayor of Kingstownseason 2 as a way of getting information about his victims and their bodies’ location in exchange for burgers. However, Ian soon realized he could exploit that connection. It wasIan’s willingness to bring Charlie with him as he visited Ben Morrissey that doomed the latter, even as Ian only brought Charlie with him to scare Morrissey into not testifying against Robert. However,Morrissey’s anger prompted Charlie to kill Ben to protect Ian, making Ian and Charlie’s visit inMayor of Kingstownseason 2 one of the show’s most disturbing moments.

With Charlie often revisiting the details of his victims with Ian, it made senseCharlie just mentioned Ben’s death inMayor of Kingstownseason 3, episode 7, by drawing the “man on the porch.”However, Ian’s reaction also proved how he never wanted that, ending up trying to convince Charlie that wasn’t importantto stop him from inadvertently confessing to the part Ian and Charlie played in Morrissey’s murder. Ian manipulating Charlie into being his muscle was one of his worst actions, which continued in season 3 to protect himself from the truth Ian was to blame for Morrissey’s death.

Charlie’s knowledgewould be the ammunition Evelyn always needed to prosecute Robert after losing Morrissey. Indeed, itwould prove not only how many were involved in helping Robert keep his job despite his countless misdeeds, but also Evelyn’s original thesis, as Ian wouldn’t have needed to scare Morrissey into not talking if his account of Robert’s actions wasn’t the truth. With Charlie’s drawing and Evelyn’s renewed fight,Mayor of Kingstownseason 3 scattered enough clues to hint at Robert paying the price for his crimes sooner rather than later in the Paramount Plus drama.
