Warning! This article contains spoilers for Tulsa King season 2, episode 6.The end of Tulsa King Season 2, episode 6 rocked both Tyson Mitchell’s (Jay Will) and Dwight Manfredi’s (Sylvester Stallone) worlds, and there’s some evidence to suggest that one of their villains may be responsible for planting the bomb in the Navigator. at the end of Tulsa King Season 2, Episode 6, Dwight’s navigator explodes just after Tyson has gifted it to his father, Mark (Michael Beach). It was a truly shocking moment, and one that will have far reaching effects Tulsa King Season 2 Once Dwight and the rest of his gang identify the person who planted the bomb.
Since the explosion was such a surprise, there is not a lot of evidence to point the blame at one fault. All Tyson saw before the bomb went off was a white Prius that had been following him all day long, and that indefinite piece of evidence, coupled with how many enemies were added to the cast of Tulsa King Season 2, may make the quest very difficult. Any of Dwight’s main villains could be responsible, and once they find out who planted the bomb, there’s likely to be quite a bit of bloodshed to come.

Cal Thresher
Cal’s attacks on Dwight have been escalating
One of the more likely suspects for bombing the Navigator is Cal Thresher (Neal McDonough). Since the beginning of Tulsa King Season 2, Cal has been attacking Dwight any way he can. First, he forced the US to When that didn’t work, he started texting Armand (Max Casella) for information. He then used the information to try to undermine Dwight’s deal at the wind farm. When that didn’t work, he sent some of Jackie Ming’s (Rich Ting) men to the farm to destroy it and slow down construction.

Cal has been attacking Dwight since the beginning, which is a good sign that he may be responsible for the bombing, but there is another trend that points in his direction. All of Cal’s attacks have escalated in scale and severity. At first, he tried to keep his hands clean and get the US. it. Counsel to put Dwight away. Cal then got his own hands dirty, and he escalated further until he got Jackie’s men—hardened Chinese gangsters—to attack Dwight with physical violence.. A car bomb seems like a natural progression of Cal’s escalation.
A car bomb seems like a natural progression from Cal Tresher’s escalation.
On top of all the ways Cal has attacked Dwight in the past, he also has the most motivation of all the General’s enemies to take him down. Cal’s attacks so far have done nothing more than anger Dwight, and Dwight immediately threatens Cal. Cal could have escalated to attempted murder simply to stop Dwight from killing him, and whoever he sent to do the job could have simply messed up and detonated it without realizing that Mark was getting into the car. Plus, Cal didn’t know about the sit-down, so he probably thought Dwight would be riding in the Navigator that day.

Bill Bevilacqua
Bill is still angry about Carl’s death and mad about the sit-down
Kansas City mob boss Bill Bevilaqua (Frank Grillo) is also a very likely candidate for the bombing of the Navigator. Bill has a history of bad blood with Dwight which may have led him to plant the bomb. When he heard about Dwight’s operation in Tulsa, Bill took it as an entry into his territory, and he thought that Dwight should have asked permission before going west. Then, at their first meeting, Dwight insulted Bill and refused his offer. Probably the best piece of evidence to indicate that Bill planted the bomb was the fact that he had already tried to kill Dwight.

at the end of Tulsa King Season 2, Episode 3, Bill sends one of his capos, Carl, to perform a hit on Dwight. If he was willing to kill Dwight then, there’s no reason Bill wouldn’t have tried again with the car bomb.. Plus, Bill is still angry that Goody (Chris Caldovino) flipped on him and Carl was killed. He mentioned to his other man that although Bill and Dwight had struck an agreement in the sit down, he could not honor it. Bill didn’t think the deal was good enough to justify Carl’s death, and he could only accept blood as payment.

While Bill’s presence at the sit-down may be evidence that he didn’t plant the bomb, it doesn’t completely absolve him. Bill was hesitant about sitting down even before it happened, and he said he would kill Dwight if they were put in the same room. Bill also has several people working for him, and any one of them could have planned and detonated the bomb while he was in Atlanta. moreover, Bill may have been specifically targeting Tyson, not Dwight, to make them even for Carl’s death. That would help explain why the bomb went off when Dwight was miles away.

Jackie Ming
Jackie is endlessly cruel and hates anything that affects his profits
One of the relative newcomers to Tulsa King Season 2’s Jackie Ming could just as easily have planted the bomb as any of Dwight’s other enemies. Although he doesn’t have the same grudge against Dwight that other characters do, Jackie is the leader of a Chinese gang, and he almost certainly has experience killing his enemies.. He also had both the power and means to plant and spread a car bomb, because of how much he earned from Cole Thresher’s drug farm and his own heroin production. Jackie may have even targeted Dwight specifically to protect his revenue streams.

in Tulsa King Season 2, Episode 6, Jackie mentions that Dwight is indirectly impacting his earnings at the weed farm. After the battle at the wind farm, Dwight and his gang incapacitate some of Jackie’s men, and only one of his guards shows up for work. With a skeleton crew of guards, and the only man there with his face battered, Jackie was worried that his workers would see it as a sign of weakness. Although it was ultimately Cal’s fault, Jackie could blame Dwight for the hike in profit, and he may want to make sure the General never touches his money ever again..
While talking to Cal about Dwight, Jackie tells him “You don’t defeat an enemy by using half measures.”
Perhaps the best evidence to suggest that Jackie Ming planted the bomb in the Navigator is his own words. While talking to Cal about Dwight, Jackie tells him “You don’t defeat an enemy by using half measures.” Dwight became a problem for Jackie, and the line indicates that he would have no problem killing the general. While it’s possible Cal took Jackie’s advice and used it himself, Jackie could have just as easily warned Cal about what he was about to do. Jackie also has the least experience with Dwight, so he would be the most likely to blow Mark on accident.

Cheeky Inverness
Cheeky gets more awkward and has another grudge against Dwight
If anyone were to make such a big mistake, however, the most likely culprit is Chickie Invernizzi (Domenick Lombardozzi). Cheeky has the longest-running and most hateful beef with Dwight, and he’s been trying to kill the general since Tulsa King Season 1. It started when Dwight first got out of prison and Chickie decided to drive him to Oklahoma. Then, after Chickie killed his father, Pete, he viewed Dwight as the last vestige of his father. Afterwards, the two became openly hostile after Chickie came to Tulsa to kill Dwight, only to be left empty-handed after Goody defected.

Another important factor in finding out if Cheeky planted the bomb is his mental state. Ever since Cheeky killed Pete, he’s been on a downward spiral and becoming more unhinged and sloppy by the day. Chiki is constantly fighting with his allies and constantly making mistakes, like forgetting his ankle gun at the airport. Cheeky’s mental state might be bad enough that he’d try to bomb Dwight or Tyson, and he probably wouldn’t even be upset that Mark was caught in the crossfire.. It would also be enough to explain how the bomb missed Dwight: Chickie doesn’t care about getting it right anymore.
Cheeky also has a track record that proves he may not have been targeting Dwight at all, but that he may have been actively looking to kill Tyson or Mark. in Tulsa King Season 1 After Dwight shames Cheeky, New York Magazine comes out and attacks Tina Manfredi’s husband (Tatiana Zappardino), beating him to within an inch of his life.. Attacking innocent loved ones is clearly not off the table for Cheeky, and killing Mark would deal a massive blow to Dwight. Plus, Cheeky is probably pissed about missing the Atlanta sit-down, which might be reason enough to take his anger out on Dwight.
Dwight won’t let this attack go unpunished, and someone’s head will roll before the end of Tulsa King season 2.
Chickie Invernizzi, Jackie Ming, Bill Bevilaqua and Cal Thresher all seem equally capable of planting a bomb in Dwight’s Navigator. Although this helps to build Tulsa King Season 2’s suspense unfortunately means the show likely won’t give a definitive answer about who’s responsible until episode 7. Mark’s fate, and whether he’s even still alive, appears to be a mystery. No matter what happens, however, Dwight will not let this attack go unpunished, and someone’s head will roll before the end of Tulsa King Season 2.
