Spoilers ahead for Mayor of Kingstown Season 4, Episode 6. Last week ended with Kyle tossed into general population and Bunny’s grip on the street wobbling. This week does not tiptoe in. Episode 6, fittingly titled "Brother," opens fire and doesn’t let up.
The highway hit: Bunny gets sprayed
Bunny and his driver Lamar are rolling down the highway when shooters pop off from the tree line. The SUV is bulletproof, but not bulletproof enough. Bunny takes rounds and winds up in critical condition. Lamar ducks, shoots back, calls 911, and keeps them alive long enough for help to arrive.
At first glance, easy to point at the cartel. Then Mike starts digging and learns Lamar has ties to Moses. That does not prove Moses ordered the hit, but it does make the whole thing smell like a deliberate shake-up instead of a clean kill. Whether it’s strategy or chaos by convenience, Bunny suddenly looks less like a kingmaker and more like a piece on someone else’s board.
Mike plays detective: Cortez, the target, and a not-so-subtle hint
Mike finds Cortez, the cartel’s quiet fixer, and gets a blunt read: Bunny was not the mission. Moses is. Cortez even drops a line that feels like a breadcrumb about past beef and bodies.
"Friends of mine got hit by the tracks."
Translation: there’s history here, and it probably involves the Russian crew Moses crossed earlier in the season. If the Colombians take Moses off the map, the balance of power swings hard, and Mike and Bunny’s leverage goes with it. We’re one bad decision away from an all-out turf war.
Kyle’s prison test: pick a side or get buried
The episode is called "Brother" for a reason, but Kyle’s inmate ID might as well be a target. With Hobbs and Torres puppeteering the prison factions, Kyle hits gen pop and instantly becomes a chew toy. Mike’s long-standing advice has been to steer clear of the Whites. Pragmatic problem: survival cares more about influence than purity.
Roberto Cruz’s crew drags Kyle off and tunes him up. He almost doesn’t get back up. The save comes from the Aryans, led by Callahan. Not exactly the alliance you’d want, but it’s the one that shows up. And the bald guy who’s been tossing Kyle bread? He makes the message painfully clear: counting on Mike won’t keep Kyle breathing. By the end, Kyle refuses to see his brother. That bond is fraying, fast.
Hobbs, Torres, and the Moses problem
On the outside, Hobbs and Torres hand Mike an ultimatum: get Moses in cuffs or Kyle pays for it inside. Mike gets Moses to agree to come in for questions. Then a gunman crashes the interrogation. Cartel cleanup? Or Moses staging a crisis to test the room? The show leaves it open, which is honestly more unnerving. Either way, Moses stays the unpredictable center of gravity while the cartel keeps pressing.
With Bunny in a hospital bed, Mike realizes his best shot at decoding the street map is currently unconscious. Isolation is kind of his brand, but this is the loneliest he’s looked in a while.
Loose threads getting tighter
It’s not just the headline players, either. CO Breen is creeping on Cindy, and it’s not subtle. Evelyn is scrambling because a key witness, Robert Reggie, has vanished. Kevin Jackson’s fear is starting to leak out of him. Everywhere Mike turns, an ally is compromised or too scared to stick a neck out.
Where it leaves everyone
- Bunny: alive, critical, and suddenly more pawn than partner.
- Mike: boxed in by Hobbs and Torres, grasping for leverage with Moses and a hospital-bound Bunny.
- Kyle: saved by Callahan’s Aryans, drifting from Mike, and staring down a brutal new rulebook.
- Moses: target of the cartel, maybe pulling strings, maybe improvising chaos, definitely central to whatever comes next.
- Cortez: confirms the cartel is hunting Moses, not Bunny, and hints at old score-settling tied to the Russians.
- Hobbs and Torres: steering the prison board and squeezing Mike where it hurts.
- Cindy and CO Breen: harassment storyline brewing, dangerously.
- Evelyn and Robert Reggie: missing-witness mess ramps up.
- Kevin Jackson: scared for good reason, and getting more so.
Bottom line: the city feels like it’s one spark from a firestorm, and the only person who might help Mike chart a path is fighting for his life. If Kyle fully leans into Callahan’s protection, Mike doesn’t just lose control; he might lose his brother. As for who is actually steering this mess — Moses, Hobbs, or the cartel — the episode keeps the answer just out of reach.
Who do you trust to make it through the next hour: Kyle or Mike?
