With questions surrounding the identity of the person responsible for setting off a bomb at Mike's (Jeremy Renner) mother's funeral still lingering, Mayor of Kingstown season 3 episode 2 witnessed the show's titular character getting further enmeshed in a web of complications involving lies and deception.
Mayor of Kingstown season 3 episode 2 opened on a positive note, with prison inmates sharing moments of warmth with their close ones during one of the several assisted prison visits. However, things soon took a sad turn as people started dropping dead one after the other, supposedly due to poison-laced drugs.
Now, those who have been following Mayor of Kingstown since the beginning would be aware that Bunny sells drugs to people inside the prison, a fact Mike is well aware of. Therefore when chatter surrounding people dropping dead after the consumption of poison-laced drugs started gaining traction, Mike's first suspect was Bunny. However, owing to his close friendship with him, he knew that Bunny was not responsible.

Someone in prison is trying to defame Bunny
During his time in prison, Bunny was part of a gang. After he was released, he continued to stay in touch with his gang members and occasionally supplied them with drugs. This small arrangement between him and his former gang members turned out to be extremely detrimental for him in Mayor of Kingstown season 3 episode 2.
In the episode, Sharon, whom Bunny had entrusted with his drug dealings, is seen handing over drugs to Big Hush in a packet of chips. However, soon after Big Hush consumes the drug, he experiences a seizure-like attack and drops to the floor. Soon his mouth starts frothing and before anyone can help him, he becomes unresponsive, implying that he is dead.
In a desperate attempt to still be able to use it and prevent getting caught, the prison inmates start cutting through Big Hush's body to retrieve the drugs. When officials reach the location following an alarm, they find his decapitated body.
While investigations are in full swing two other similar incidents take place inside the prison that further complicate matters. Two people suffer a seizure-like attack like Big Hush in the middle of the field, with froth coming out of their mouths. They are soon declared dead.
With the frequency of deaths related to the consumption of poison-laced drugs increasing, direct blame falls on Bunny, who deals with drugs inside the prison.
However, in Mayor of Kingstown season 3 episode 2 it is portrayed that Bunny is innocent and has no clue about what is going on. This could only mean one thing, that is, someone is trying to frame him.
