If you figured Dwight Manfredi caught a break at the end of Tulsa King Season 2, think again. The Season 3 opener (which aired September 21) immediately shatters that illusion. Right from the start, it’s clear Dwight’s world remains tangled in chaos. He’s still juggling mob bosses, federal investigators, and now former allies chasing ambitious schemes. Nothing comes easy for the New York transplant running Oklahoma’s underworld.
The premiere episode of Tulsa King Season 3 packs plenty of tension: Dwight's now stuck working under FBI supervision, while a mysterious New York figure makes him a fresh offer. Meanwhile, Mitch keeps pushing his friend to join a business deal that looks riskier than lighting fireworks in a dry field!
Viewers are wondering: What exactly is Mitch proposing to Dwight? And how could this shake up Tulsa's power struggles? Here's a closer look.
Dwight's freedom is shaky, courtesy of Musso!
Before Mitch became involved, Dwight was already trapped. Special Agent Musso (known for holding personal grudges) had made Dwight his pawn.
The arrangement was straightforward but dangerous: whenever Musso called, Dwight had to comply immediately or risk harm coming to his family. This forced Dwight into an impossible position. Instead of running his own operations, he became an FBI asset. Musso now holds all the power.

With this threat hanging over him, every proposal Dwight received (whether from Ray in New York or Mitch in Tulsa) felt heavier. A single misstep would damage his business and basically destroy everything he cared about.
Mitch’s offer on Tulsa King Season 3
Now, onto Mitch. He runs Car City alongside Fred, but selling used cars isn't the flashy underworld life he'd imagined. Then Cleo Montague reappears. Her father, Theo, owns a failing distillery, desperate to sell.
Jeremiah Dunmire (a rival operator) is already sniffing around. But at this moment, Mitch spots a chance. He proposes that Dwight buy the distillery to save Cleo's family business and create a profitable front for their operations. Keep the whiskey flowing, keep Mitch content, keep Cleo nearby. Simple.
Dwight isn't convinced. Deals like this get messy. Jeremiah's involvement spells trouble. Still, Dwight doesn't refuse. He says he'll "think about it." And when Dwight thinks? Things tend to get loud and deadly on Tulsa King.

Mitch’s pitch could explode everything
On the surface, Mitch's offer looks small compared to Dwight's New York connections or Musso's intimidation tactics.
But that distillery isn't just about whiskey and old memories, is it? It's become the flashpoint for Dwight's brewing conflict with Jeremiah.
When Jeremiah learned Dwight had made a counteroffer for Theo's property, he responded with brutal force, thereby killing Theo and burning his estate to the ground. That murder lit the fuse for a gang war. Dwight's loyalty to Mitch and Cleo means he can't ignore Jeremiah's power play.
Yet with Musso watching closely, every step Dwight takes could backfire disastrously. So Mitch's business proposal is the trigger that might drag Dwight into a fight where both standing still and moving forward could destroy him.
