Story Preview: Escalating Tensions and Internal Conflict
The third season finds Dwight’s criminal empire expanding, which has attracted increasingly dangerous enemies. The official season description notes he now faces his most dangerous adversaries in Tulsa yet: the Dunmires, a powerful old-money family that does not play by traditional rules.
The previous episode ended with Tyson being kidnapped and nearly executed by Cole Dunmire. Simultaneously, Dwight met with Jeremiah Dunmire, refusing to back down despite being surrounded by Jeremiah’s men and FBI Agent Musso, who is pursuing his own personal vendetta against Dwight.
In Episode 4, Dwight must deal with the fallout from these heightened tensions. The Dunmire family is intensifying its efforts to undermine his operations, and Tyson’s increasing involvement in the conflict is causing friction within Dwight’s own team. The episode will explore the power struggles and dynamic shifts that threaten the stability of Dwight’s entire organization.
