For the first time in a long time, the king of Chicago’s streets looks vulnerable — surrounded by enemies, betrayed by allies, and losing control of everything he built. If you’ve been following the season closely, this episode is where Tommy’s downfall truly begins.
Here’s a full breakdown of Episode 3 and what to expect in the episodes ahead.
Episode 3 Recap: Tommy’s World Starts Cracking
Episode 3 picks up with the streets getting more dangerous, and Tommy’s decisions catching up to him.
Diamond and Jenard Turn Against Tommy
The Sampson brothers quietly start plotting behind Tommy’s back. Their plan involves using the feds and Chicago’s most ruthless crews to remove the rising threat, D-Mac — a move that directly challenges Tommy’s control.
D-Mac Survives the Hit
What was supposed to be a clean takedown turns into chaos. D-Mac survives a violent shootout with the Nine Sevens, proving he’s tougher and smarter than anyone expected. His survival puts Tommy in a tough spot — loyalty versus business.
Mireya Becomes Leverage
Tommy’s personal life mixes with business once again. Miguel Garcia uses Mireya to pressure Tommy, leaving him emotionally exposed and dangerously distracted.
The Feds Close In
Everywhere Tommy turns — the Feds, CBI, rival gangs, and the cartel — pressure is building. It’s no longer just about running the streets. Tommy is fighting a battle on all sides.
