Summary
The second episode ofMayor of Kingstownseason 3 focused as much on the gangs as it did on regular people of Kingstown with Anna’s story, highlighting a recurring problem of Mike’s job after the prison riots of season 1. The informal position of mayor Mike inherited from Mitch put him at the center of all dealings involving the prisons, whether police, gangs, or civilians asked for Mike’s help with it. However, whileMayor of Kingstownseason 1 dealt a lot with civilians asking Mike for help or support within the penitentiary system, seasons 2 and 3 lost that focus.
With the prison riots inMayor of Kingstownseason 1’s ending upsetting Kingstown’s order,Mike spent most ofMayor of Kingstownseason 2 making sure the gangs’ hierarchies within Anchor Bay reflected the order of the same gangs outside.

However, withMilo’s fate being locked in byMayor of Kingstownseason 2 and the riots’ aftermath concluding, Mike can finally return to his original role.

Mike felt compassion for Anna’s situation, as he could understand her wish for Greg to continue to pay even if he had done his time because Greg had taken away her son from Anna.
