Konstantin and Tatiana’s chat inMayor of Kingstownseason 3’s premiere seemed to confirm Milo’s death, but what convinced Konstantin of Tatiana’s betrayal, leading to him killing her in cold blood, was how Tatiana seemingly expected a call from someone as Konstantin was settling in at Cavo.Milo faking his death inMayor of Kingstownseason 2’s finale would be the most reasonable explanation for his call to Tatiana after the boat explosionand her anticipative behavior she couldn’t hide from Konstantin, which would not make sense had Konstantin killed Milo.
Milo successfully faked his death afterMayor of Kingstownseason 2’s finale showed his boat exploding, while his previous attempt was soon unmasked by Mike, who would not believe he died without seeing Milo’s body.
Milo had already tried faking his death inMayor of Kingstownseason 1, kickstarting the prison riots for the chaos they would have created, making his escape possible. However, his plan also included that one of the dead bodies caused by the riots would have been used to identify him as legally dead. This part of Milo’s plan didn’t work because Mike caught onto it, realizing it was all a scheme.Kingstown’s issues nonetheless focused Mike’s attention in season 3, making it easy for Milo to fly under his radar, especially after Mike and Iris had seen his boat explode.

Milo’s wish for their deal to be over soon also hinted he might have been running from something or someone inMayor of Kingstownseason 2, making his boat exploding the proof Mike needed to believe that whoever was looking for Milo finally found him and killed him.
However,only Milo’s death – and those who believed him so – would have brought a mobster of Konstantin’s caliber to Kingstown. Milo’s people leaving Kingstown as Konstantin reached it to establish his operation effectively proved everybody believed Milo had died. His words to Roman inMayor of Kingstownseason 3, episode 9 revealedMilo had something in plan for him, hinting at his return having to do with possibly setting a score with Konstantin. Milo could have never attempted such a feat had Konstantin thought him alive, while he had a chance after Konstantin embedding himself in Kingstown hindered his operation.
The Reason For Milo’s Return Was Set Up Since Mayor Of Kingstown’s Episode 1
Milo Wanted The Bonds From Mitch & Planned His Prison Escape In Season 1
Whether Milo already wanted to take on Konstantin or not, his plan was set in motion inMayor of Kingstownseason 1’s premiere. Indeed, Mitch was only killed because he had agreed to retrieve the bonds for Milo, andMilo spent the best part ofMayor of Kingstownseasons 1 and 2 convincing Mike to honor his brother Mitch’s deal with him, finding and giving him the bonds. In addition, Milo’s plan to fake his own death had already been set up in season 1 with the prison riots giving him enough chaos to put it in motion.
Who Is Really Behind Mayor Of Kingstown Season 3’s Bus Tragedy?
The bus tragedy shook Kingstown, and in the chaos it sowed, it made it difficult to discover the culprit, damaging alliances & making war more likely.
Milo had long wanted to be thought of as dead but only wished to appear so after having the bonds in his hands. While he could have needed the bonds to create a new identity and build a new life abroad,being believed dead and having the bonds gave Milo the time and the means to plan a way to take on a criminal bigger than him. This being Milo’s plan since the beginning ofMayor of Kingstownhints at his surprise return having to do with challenging Konstantin, especially after Konstantin highlighted multiple times how much their operations differed.
Mayor Of Kingstown Season 3 Still Needs To Explain Milo’s Fixation With Iris
Milo’s Return Stopped Roman From Setting Up Iris’s New Life
Milo put Iris through the worst inMayor of Kingstownseasons 1 and 2, but he also often did so to achieve something through it. Indeed, Milo’s worst actions against Iris inMayor of Kingstownseason 1 were a result of learning thatMike felt the need to protect Iris, and inMayor of Kingstownseason 2 he convinced Mike to give him the bonds by promising to exchange Iris’s freedom for them. However,the circumstances of Milo’s return inMayor of Kingstownseason 3 hint at his having something against Iris’s freedom from Konstantin’s organization specifically.
Milo resurfaced the moment Roman tried to set up Iris’s new life to stop him, making it seem as if Milo had something against Iris so big that he wanted her to continue being punished. While Milo could have chosen such a moment as it was the only one when Roman wasn’t in the strongholds that were Cavo or Konstantin’s boat,Milo’s past with Iris was horrifying enough to believe him intent on causing Iris pain, andMayor of Kingstownseason 3 will have to explain why, having Milo timed his return with stopping Iris’s freedom.
