In the latest episode of Tulsa King, Dwight Manfredi’s crew falls into chaos while he is away, leading to a near-fatal kidnapping and the loss of their most valuable asset. The third episode of Season 3, titled “The G and the OG,” sees Tyson making a dangerous decision to spy on the enemy, a move that backfires spectacularly and puts the entire bourbon operation in jeopardy.
Dwight’s Dangerous Detour with the FBI
The episode begins with Dwight Manfredi trying to keep his team focused on bottling the valuable fifty-year-old bourbon. However, his plans are interrupted when FBI Agent Musso orders him to a meeting. Musso forces Dwight into a self-driving car for a road trip to Texas. Their mission is to target a criminal known as the “Watchmaker,” an arsonist and explosives expert named Dexter Deacon.
Musso wants Dwight to pose as a criminal client to get close to Deacon, arguing that his real underworld background will be more believable than an undercover agent. During their trip, Dwight becomes suspicious that Musso is not acting on official FBI business but is instead pursuing a personal vendetta. In a moment of frustration, Dwight called the driverless car an “abomination” and warned Musso not to use it again.
Musso explained his choice, saying, “No, see. He is brilliant. This guy. Crazy, but smart. My guys will never pass the sniff test. You, on the other hand, can just be you.”
While Dwight is occupied with Musso, the rest of his team is left without his leadership, setting the stage for internal missteps.
Cleo’s Reckless Act of Revenge
Meanwhile, Cleo and Mitch take a drive to ease the tension after her father’s death. Their trip takes a dangerous turn when Cleo, fueled by anger over her father’s murder and the burning of her family home, impulsively drives to Jeremiah Dunmire’s estate.
In a bold act of defiance, she attempts to throw a lit liquor bottle at his house, mirroring the attack on her own home. Mitch quickly stops her, but not before they are confronted by Jeremiah and his men armed with guns. Surprisingly, Jeremiah lets them go without further violence, a move that suggests he is either planning a more calculated response or is cautious about provoking Dwight’s full wrath.
Tyson’s Costly Rogue Mission
Back at the distillery, Tyson decides to take initiative against Dwight’s orders. He convinces Bodhi and Grace to help him tail Cole Dunmire, Jeremiah’s son. They follow Cole from his gym to a warehouse, where they discover he is running a bingo scam to steal money from senior citizens.
The trio confronts Cole and wins the prize money, humiliating him. To celebrate, they go to a strip club, where Tyson is lured into a private room by a dancer named Serenity. The meeting is a trap, and Cole and his men kidnap Tyson.
Cole takes Tyson to a shipping container yard, demanding to know the location of the hidden bourbon. When Tyson refuses to talk, Cole threatens to kill Serenity. To save her life, Tyson reveals the secret storage location.
Cole’s men then stuff Tyson into the trunk of his car and fire multiple bullets into it. However, Tyson survives because his Tesla Cybertruck is bulletproof.
Cole and his men proceed to the storage facility and steal all of Dwight’s valuable bourbon barrels.
The Shocking Aftermath
The episode ends with Dwight returning to Tulsa, unaware of the crisis. He receives a phone call from Goodie, who informs him that the basement storage unit has been completely emptied. The crew has lost their entire stock of bourbon, valued at $150 million.
With his operation in tatters and his crew scattered, Dwight is now poised to declare all-out war on the Dunmire family.
