Now, this is aTulsa Kingworth bending the knee for.
The explosion sends shock waves through four separate criminal organizations.
In Kansas City, Bill Bevilaqua debates what to do next.
But he knows that hes Manfredis top suspect, particularly because car bombs have been the K.C.
In New York, the schism between boss Chickie and underboss Vince widens.
Vince, exasperated, tells Chickie he shouldnt have put him on the phone then.
Its like a textbook study in bad, passive-aggressive leadership.
And Vince has had enough of it.
(Like Piazza and head writer Terence Winter, this episodes writer, Flebotte, is aBoardwalkalum.)
The final outfit involved is Cal Threshers.
But that sincerity is a tricky thing.
Sure enough, the gangster has the telltale Prius stashed under a tarp behind Cals greenhouses.
Thats one loose end tied down.
Unfortunately, the same cant be said of Tyson.
When Tyson starts hinting at vengeance, Mitch shuts it down with an exasperated Look, shut up.
Its a terrific little scene.
Its good to be the Tulsa King.
This is never going to be a hard-hitting autopsy of the evil that men do.

in his genial shitkicker car-salesman accent.
Nobody waits by the phone anymore.
Add it all up and you have the most entertaining episode of the season so far.
