Tulsa King Recap: The Oklahoma Tomahawk Massacre
A big bloodbath in the penultimate episode leaves intrigue about what could happen between Dwight and Chickie in the finale.
The show spent its entire second season establishing the five factions warring for control of Tulsa’s weed farms: the New York mob, led first by Chickie Invernizzi and now by Vince Antonacci; the Kansas City mob, led by Bill Bevilacqua; Cal Thresher, oil baron turned unscrupulous weed magnate; Jackie Ming, Thresher’s partner and the boss of the local Triad organization; and Dwight Manfredi’s Tulsa outfit itself, a motley crew of disparate interests — nebbishy weed-store owners, Native American growers and wind farmers, a smattering of wiseguys, would-be and otherwise — held together by Manfredi’s own charisma. And then Tom Petty’s “Learning to Fly” plays for some reason as they dispose of over a dozen corpses, including one killed with an ax to the head, and Dwight goes to bed with a horny Margaret. Having the big bloodbath take place in the penultimate episode rather than the season finale is, at this point, a pretty old-school HBO-style maneuver, dating back to the New Golden Age heyday that ran from The Sopranos through Game of Thrones.
