The Story So Far: A Recap of Episode 8
The previous episode, “Nothing Is Over,” left Dwight and his crew in a critical situation. Dwight double-crossed FBI Agent Musso and kidnapped the dangerous hitman known as Deacon. However, this move backfired when a bomb Deacon had planted earlier exploded at a hotel. While Dwight managed to save Margaret and Carl from the blast, his close ally Mitch was seriously injured and rushed to the hospital. This attack was a direct move from Jeremiah Dunmire, who has joined forces with Deacon to destroy Dwight’s empire.
What to Expect in “Dead Weight”
Episode 9, “Dead Weight,” will deal with the aftermath of the hotel explosion and its impact on Dwight’s crew. The war with the Dunmire family is expected to become more intense. Furthermore, Dwight’s decision to betray Agent Musso will likely have serious consequences, forcing him to deal with the FBI’s investigation while fighting his criminal rivals.
The most significant development in the upcoming episode is the arrival of Samuel L. Jackson as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a figure from Dwight’s past. In the preview, Russell refers to Dwight as a “ghost” from his past and is initially sent to Tulsa to kill his old friend. However, upon seeing the empire Dwight has built, Russell appears to change his plans. This character is not just a guest star; his appearance is designed to set up his own story in the planned Tulsa King spin-off series, NOLA King.
Russell will be sent to kill his old friend in Tulsa, but the former convict will take an instant liking to his power and empire and will take a different path.
