Warning! SPOILERS about Mayor of Kingstown season 3, episode 1 ahead.
Summary
- Milo's fate was uncertain because his boat was seen exploding in Mayor of Kingstown season 2's finale and he was heard talking to Tati on the phone afterward.
- Konstantin had Milo killed in Mayor of Kingstown, took over his dealings, and murdered Tati for betraying him.
- Tati betrayed Milo for self-preservation, as Konstantin's arrival hinted at a powerful mobster after Milo.
Milo’s fate in Mayor of Kingstown season 2’s finale was unclear but one season 3 premiere’s detail shone a light on what happened to the mobster. Taking advantage of the prison riots towards the end of Mayor of Kingstown season 1 proved Milo’s cunning, as he helped start those only so that he could have a chance to escape from prison. His elaborate escape plan effectively worked, as in the aftermath of the prison riots, all authorities believed Milo dead as a result of the violence in the riots, making his official death his means of escape, despite being alive.
Hints that Milo could still be alive in Mayor of Kingstown season 3 came from the deliberately muddy season 2’s finale, which placed him on the boat seconds before it exploded, but also showed Milo calling Tatiana and reassuring her that “everything went fine” moments later. Mayor of Kingstown already proved Milo’s ability to plan intricate escapes but surviving such an explosion would have required massive planning and knowledge, at which Mayor of Kingstown season 2 never hinted. Although the absence of Milo’s body makes his fate not sealed, one season 3 detail reveals Milo died and who killed him.
New Russian Mobster Konstantin Had Milo Killed In Mayor Of Kingstown
Konstantin Likely Killed Him With Tati’s Help Before Moving To Kingstown
Mayor of Kingstown season 3's premiere introduced at least two characters new to Kingstown, and one of them was behind the bomb placed on Milo's boat at the end of Mayor of Kingstown season 2's finale. Konstantin was welcomed to Tatiana's club in Mayor of Kingstown season 3, episode 1, and while her willingness to accept another leader already hinted at Milo's possible demise, it was Tati's sentence at the end of the episode that confirmed it. Just before Konstantin killed her in cold blood, Tati asked why he doubted her, pleading and admitting, at last, "I gave you Milo."

Mayor Of Kingstown Recap: 10 Things To Remember Before Season 3
Mayor of Kingstown S2's finale left many questions unanswered, making it imperative for some things to be remembered ahead of season 3's release.
Tati's admission completely changed the meaning behind Milo calling her at Mayor of Kingstown season 2’s end, as what could have been mistaken for her preoccupation was her wish to be sure betraying Milo had reaped its fruits. While Konstantin murdering her in Mayor of Kingstown season 3, episode 1 easily established him as a mobster with whom not to mess, it also showed his certainty Milo had died, as Konstantin took over his dealings right after Milo’s demise, killing Tati for betraying Milo, as that indicated she could have betrayed Konstantin too in the future.
Why Tatiana Turned Milo In
Knowing About Someone Else Searching For Milo Gave Her The Upper Hand
While Tati didn’t have a chance to explain why she betrayed Milo, Mayor of Kingstown season 2, episode 10 already showed she knew more than she let on. When Mike went to ask her to set another meet-up between him and Milo, Tati suggested Mike should have just given Milo his money, as he wasn’t “the only one after him.” Konstantin’s arrival in Kingstown showed how much of a big deal he was as a Russian mobster, and if he had already been looking for Milo, being loyal to Milo would have resulted in Tati’s death anyway.
Tati’s betrayal of Milo thus proved more a matter of attempting self-preservation, as being under the protection of a mobster more powerful than Milo should have guaranteed her and her child’s survival. However, her secrecy while handling calls doomed her, effectively putting her in the same situation where she would have been had she stayed loyal to Milo in Mayor of Kingstown season 2, episode 10’s ending, and not disappeared as those loyal to Milo did before Konstantin’s arrival.
