Not every character death carries that much emotional weight in television dramas. Some characters disappear, and audiences move on fast. But Tulsa King tackled the situation separately.

Jimmy the Creek represented a significant aspect of Dwight's business. He was the leading supplier. His murder was a direct attack on everything Dwight was building. Losing him meant more than losing a business companion. It meant losing a friend.

Bodhi eventually takes revenge during an exchange. He shoots one of the gunmen involved in the fight. The deal falls apart because of his decisions. But Dwight does not punish him. Instead, Dwight comes in support of his choice. He promises to take revenge on Jimmy the Creek properly. This promise drives much of the third season's plot forward.


What makes this storyline work?

The writers were adamant to let audiences forget. They keep bringing up the loss. This technique creates the ongoing tension. It gives characters refreshing motivations.

Bodhi is after seeking justice. Dwight wants revenge, and Bill knows he is in danger. Every episode builds on these ongoing conflicts.
