If there’s one thing I’ve learned from watching Tulsa King, it’s that Dwight Manfredi doesn’t throw punches; he throws history-making haymakers.
And on Tulsa King Season 3 Episode 5, he might’ve just lit the fuse for the bloodiest feud Tulsa’s ever seen. How?
From Jeremiah Dunmire hijacking Dwight’s long-awaited distillery launch to Bigfoot accidentally flattening a corrupt inspector, chaos reigned supreme.
When Stallone’s Dwight growled, “Now, if you think we lost, that means you think he won. That’s never going to happen,” I actually cheered at my screen.
He doesn’t do surrender; he marinates in revenge. So, folks, do we toast the victory or brace for the bloodshed? Let’s uncork this mess.
Dunmire’s Pride and Dwight’s Patience Collide on Tulsa King
You know those villains who talk too much before the knockout? Jeremiah Dunmire’s that guy, but with bourbon breath and a vendetta the size of Oklahoma.
In Tulsa King Season 3 Episode 5, his line about Dwight having “taken a good time in my life and turned it into a bad one” might sound petty.
But in mob-speak, it’s a death threat wrapped in self-pity.
I swear, watching him bark orders to “get the boys together” gave me flashbacks to every overconfident gangster who underestimated Dwight. Big mistake!
The man served 25 years in prison and came out sharper than a broken bottle. Still, Dunmire’s got muscle, political backing, and Cole (who treats violence like cardio).
If Episode 5 was the prelude, the upcoming Episode 6 could be the opening salvo. And my gut tells me Jeremiah’s ego will write a check his crew can’t cash.
Dwight’s Zen Face Masks a Brewing Inferno
Here’s what I love about Sylvester Stallone‘s Dwight. He’s equal parts philosopher and felon.
One minute, he’s joking with Margaret about “humor and breath mints”, and the next, he’s telling Tyson, “People don’t get what they deserve; they get what they attract.”
That line hit me like a truck. It’s classic Dwight: world-weary, cryptic, but painfully true.
What really got me, though, was how he dismissed Bill Bevilaqua’s panic.
When Bill said, “Quiet Ray wants me to turn on you,” Dwight just shrugged it off with, “I don’t care about Quiet Ray or the feds… this is f*cking big for me.”
That’s not confidence; that’s a man trying to keep his empire from collapsing under its own ambition.
And yes, he’s got a bomb now. A literal bomb. So if this ‘full-scale war’ happens, Dwight’s not showing up empty-handed.
Inspector’s Death Might Be the Domino That Topples Everything
Poor Bigfoot. He meant well. But pushing a barrel that turned a corrupt inspector into an impromptu floor decoration? That’s not exactly great for PR.
When Goodie (Chris Caldovino) gasped, “What the f*ck?” I echoed it out loud. Now the whole distillery is tainted, figuratively and literally.
The launch party turned into chaos. Dunmire had the Attorney General on his side, and every news camera in Tulsa caught Dwight in the wreckage.
For me, it’s messy, it’s mob, it’s perfect Tulsa King!
Plus, Mitch’s (Garrett Hedlund) quick thinking to call it “an accident” might buy them time, but come on, we all know this will blow back hard.
The feds are circling, Bevilaqua’s already been swarmed, and Dunmire’s probably loading up for revenge.
If I were Dwight, I’d trade my suit for body armor.
Tulsa King Season 3 Episode 6: A Mob War Years in the Making?
This show has always been about legacy: who builds it, who burns it, and who dares to claim it.
Dunmire believes that the bourbon formula was his birthright. Dwight sees it as his redemption arc.
Both men want respect more than money, and that’s why this feud feels Shakespearean, without the iambic pentameter but with extra gunfire.
In the previous episode, when Dwight muttered, “Fortune favors the bold,” I got chills.
Because he wasn’t bragging; he was warning us. I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that bomb’s not just for Dunmire; it’s for a statement.
To be honest, I’ve been rooting for Dwight since Episode 1, but this time, I’m nervous. He’s too angry, too cornered, too willing to risk it all.
That’s dangerous even for a mob legend. And Dunmire (Robert Patrick)? He’s the kind of enemy who’d rather lose everything than admit defeat.
So yeah, I’m betting we’re heading for blood in Tulsa King Season 3 Episode 6. Not a metaphorical war, but bullets, betrayal, and maybe a big ol’ explosion.
But that’s just my read, what’s yours? Let’s argue about it below. Seriously, I need to know who you’re backing. Team Dwight or Team Dunmire?
