A disturbing memory might throw everything in Mayor of Kingstown upside down.
For good reason, Mayor Of Kingstown's fans are on the tip of their seats as Season 3 unfolds. The writers of the show are deftly incorporating threads from past seasons to create the conditions for a maybe explosive climax. One especially memorable scene in Season 3, Episode 7 has viewers buzzing and centers on a terrifying memory kept by young Charlie.
Charlie's Drawing: hints of a sinister past
Ian McLusky developed a shockingly manipulative relationship with young child Charlie, whose family had been split apart by the violence afflicting Kingstown, in Season 2. Using Charlie's innocence and sensitivity, Ian gathered details on his victims. This peaked horrifyingly when Ian brought Charlie to Ben Morrissey, a SWAT team whistleblower being silenced to guard corrupt SWAT team leader Robert Sawyer.
In a terrifying sequence, Morrissey's wrath drove Charlie to murder him, so shielding Ian from view. Charlie's memory of that evening is clear even though the specifics were lost to the authorities. In Season 3, he subtly refers to Morrissey's murder by innocuously sketching a picture of a "man on the porch." This apparently benign sketch has the power to start a terrible series of events.
Evelyn's Search of Justice: An Other Chance?
Driven to expose Robert Sawyer and his team's violence and bring them to justice, Assistant DA Evelyn Foley has been mercilessly hunting them. Ben Morrissey's passing momentarily stopped her research, but Charlie's knowledge might inspire her once more. Should Evelyn learn what Charlie knows, she will have the proof required to at last hold Robert responsible for his transgressions.
Together with Evelyn's relentless determination, Charlie's memory could reveal the degree of Robert's corruption and help to untangle the truth regarding Morrissey's murder. This disclosure would not only highlight Sawyer's atrocities but also possibly link Ian, who was instrumental in silence of the whistleblower, to them.
Aripple Effect of Devastating Results
This disclosure would have far-reaching effects that would challenge Kingstown's foundations and expose the firmly ingrained corruption in its political systems. The writers of the show have painstakingly created a universe in which violence and power are inextricably entwine. With terrible effects on all those engaged, this possible exposure might cause a full-scale breakdown of order.
Will Justice Rule Kingstown?
Mayor Of Kingstown's future still hangs in great mystery. One thing is certain, though: the simmering tensions in Kingstown are about to explode and Evelyn's unrelenting quest of justice will cause a dramatic confrontation that could rock the town to its very core. These upsetting memories will also return.
