What could be worse than Tyson believing his actions killed his father?
You might think this question would be hard to answer, but King of Tulsa Season 2 Episode 7 makes no secret of it.
Tyson may have simply slipped into a killer abyss, and no matter how much he wished it wasn’t true, he could never extricate himself.
The sad thing about the new reality is that Tyson has plenty of opportunities to correct potential mistakes.
Tyson has stood on the edge of the abyss, involving himself and Dwight.
Tyson: I didn’t sign up for it.
Dwight: So what did you sign up for?
Tyson: Be you.
Tyson sees Dwight as calm and in control, which is ironic considering that Dwight was just released from prison after serving 25 years to protect a Mafia family, who usually don’t get mad at Dwight in return.
But kids can be dazzled by the trinkets and excitement. Dwight breaks into Tulsa and takes the town for himself. Tyson must have felt like he was on the bottom of something big.
Giving his father, Dwight, a ride was the pinnacle of his success so far. Before Dwight, the two had struggled to find common ground, and after his arrival, things got worse. Mark is a humble, honest man.
He made a conscious choice to prioritize family and hard work over material possessions. He wants to win them, not take them or have them handed to him.
Today’s youth are constantly bombarded by influencer culture. People sell themselves to gain power and property to the point where it is impossible not to participate in the action.
Mark wanted to be kind to his son, and when Tyson spread his wings, he gave him room to fly, even if the flight brought him a little too close to the sun.
In my review of The King of Tulsa Season 2, Episode 6, I discussed the possible impact the explosion had on Tyson’s psyche. He is punishing himself for what happened to his father, but he is even more eager to punish those he believes are responsible.
Mickey is a smart guy. Despite being in cahoots with real mafioso Dwight, he seems to have learned from his mistakes.
He treats Tyson with common sense and compassion because he knows this may be Tyson’s last chance to escape his life. If he kills someone, there’s no going back. Every time he closes his eyes forever, he sees that life. It’s easy to kill someone, but it also kills a part of you.
Tyson learned nothing from his father, and that’s what’s so heartbreaking about this incident.
The real headache was that Mark was awake and heard everything Tyson said to him in the hospital room. Why didn’t he contact his son and tell him not to do anything he would regret?
It was too late to call him. Asking Dwight to call Tyson away wasn’t enough. This is a very strange development and I don’t like it at all. It felt contrived and awkward.
If you ever wonder how young Tyson is and how little he understands the situation, just look at the fact that this kid is wearing a bell while waiting to attack someone.
Now, he may be in the clear. Bevilacqua’s man might just be injured. We were faced with a similar situation when we wondered if Mark died at the end of the last episode, only to learn that he was safe and sound.
Maybe Tyson represents what gang interactions are likely to be like, rather than what we expect, and from that point of view, he will emerge relatively unscathed.
Does it matter? He did something that would anger someone who is not easily angered (Bevilaqua), and was Be willing to give Dwight a chance rather than start a war. This can’t be a good thing.
Bevilacqua correctly believes that attacking Dwight means the beef is personal. When discussing the situation with his partners, Bill appears level-headed and interested in maintaining a useful and profitable relationship with Dwight.
To him, it didn’t make sense to kill Dwight when he was a man with a major income and an incredible growth. He doesn’t object to being beaten somewhere (I don’t believe him), but not now. Well, maybe Nowbut not while they were discussing it.
The truth is, that crazy Jackie is the mastermind behind this. He has a cold personality, is calculating, and has no regard for human life. He even scared Cal Thresher, who I didn’t think had a chance of making it out of the season alive.
Carl is a little guy, but after this episode, I realized Jackie is even smaller. He’s an idiot. His great ideas to make a lot of money will be crushed by his temper. This is detrimental to the long-term success of your business.
Dwight knows this. Bill knows this. Hell, even Vince knows this. I bet Carl’s business will be up for grabs soon.
It seems to me that Carl’s only move to save himself is to ask Dwight for help. His attitude towards Jackie is a bit hard to understand. There is no way out because he is not a killer. Dwight didn’t want to be a killer, but he did what was necessary.
Things are changing in New York, too. Vince is toying with the idea of getting rid of Kiki. Retaining the New York faction doesn’t appear to be feasible for Tulsa King in the long term. New York is in Dwight’s rearview mirror.
Of course, we could speculate that each gang is related to each other in some way, but it makes more sense to focus on Tulsa and its surrounding areas, especially since Tina and Joanne have already joined Dwight there.
There isn’t much reason to continue living in New York other than finishing Chiggy’s story.
Dwight appears to be building a solid foundation in Tulsa. He had his family, and he had that girl – a girl who almost made him blush.
I’m shocked that Andrea Savage disappeared so early in the season, but it makes room for Dana Delany to get some dues The screen time she gained allowed Margaret to be more fleshed out.
I hope as the season continues, more of her past will be revealed.
Tough times never last, but strong people do.
— Margaret
Dwight is confused that despite knowing everything about him, Margaret is still willing to put aside the danger and consider a future with him. There was no doubt she wanted that.
Will that sentiment change as things continue to heat up late in the season? She looks tough, but so does Stacey, and look what happened to her.
There are three episodes left in the second season of The King of Tulsa.
But Tatiana Zappardino, who plays Tina, can do so much more than that, and she does it in our exclusive interview. Her advice? Don’t get too attached to anyone because not everyone makes it out of this alive.
What do you think will happen to Dwight and his gang? Does Tyson represent something unique on the show? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
