He just didn&#8217;t have time to act on it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Season 4 of <em>Tulsa King<\/em> premiered on Oct. 16.

As usual, if you&#8217;ve not watched and don&#8217;t want the episode ruined, subscribe, save and come back later.<\/p>\n<h3><em>Tulsa King<\/em>, Season 4, Episode 5 Recap<\/h3>\n<p>The majority of Episode 5 (titled &#8220;Dinosaurs&#8221;) centers on the counterfeit wine scheme Bodhi and Leonardo cook up. Their phony vintage \u2014 &#8220;with just a whisper of ullage&#8221; \u2014 goes to auction and Dwight&#8217;s crew dresses up to pose as fake millionaires. The goal is to create a bidding war, and it works.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, it works too well. Mitch, Spencer and Tyson push the price up past $6,000 a bottle but the instructions are to stop bidding at $7,500. Tyson \u2014 who wants to look gangster \u2014 live streams the bidding war and gets lost in the moment, pushing the price per bottle to $8K, winning the auction.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of scoring a $2 million payday the crew now has to come up with $2.25 million, although they will ultimately only lose 10 percent to the auction house. It&#8217;s another bone-headed move by <em>Tulsa King<\/em>&#8216;s most immature character.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to this, Detective Wozniak (Pat McAfee) visits Dwight and blackmails him into a job. The dirty cop is upset that Tyson killed English Dan, thus costing him $3,000 a week. Dwight bites and offers $20K if Wozniak can retrieve the murder weapon.\u00a0It works out for the home team, of which McAfee&#8217;s character is now a member.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Special Agent Musso the Real Villain of Season 4?<\/h3>\n<p>Midway through Episode 5, Dwight and FBI Agent Musso sit on a park bench\u00a0to discuss the crimes that connect them. Musso tells Dwight he thinks Quiet Ray is responsible for the attempted murder that ended Ep. 4.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t trust that prick to water a cactus,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve heard that before. In fact, we&#8217;ve heard it twice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-post-image \">\n<figure class=\"img-tag v3 alignnone\">\n<div class=\"theframe \" data-loading=\"lazy\"><\/div><figcaption>Tulsa King<\/figcaption><span class=\"visually-hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Tulsa King<\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>At the start of Ep. 1, Bill Bevilaqua \u2014 fresh out of FBI custody \u2014 gives those words to Dwight about Quiet Ray. Then, we see Bill say the same thing to Ray about Dwight. At the time it seemed he was playing both sides.<\/p>\n<p>Now it seems like Agent Musso is pushing Kansas City Bill to play both sides. A mob war could kill men from both families, and that&#8217;s all good news for the FBI. This would explain several random events, including the last week&#8217;s shooting, information Governor Clark is getting and maybe even Margaret and Cal Thresher&#8217;s deaths.<\/p>\n<div class=\"branded-app-shortcode-inarticle\">\n<div class=\"logo-wrap\" rel=\"fwef\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/townsquare.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tasteofcountry.png?w=100\" alt=\"Taste of Country logo\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It also explains why Bevilaqua was at Dwight&#8217;s house bright and early to check on him. That didn&#8217;t seem suspicious until the park bench scene. Manfredi&#8217;s reaction lets us know he&#8217;s on to\u00a0Musso, but he barely has time to respond because of his flight to New York City\u00a0for a visit with Ray.<\/p>\n<h3><em>Tulsa King<\/em>, Season 4, Episode\u00a05 Review<\/h3>\n<p>A significant portion of <em>Tulsa King<\/em> Episode 5 is spent in New York City, and that&#8217;s good for the show. When the better actors dominate (Frank\u00a0Grillo, James Russo, Kevin Pollak, Chris Caldovino) the show is elevated. Episodes heavy on Dwight&#8217;s crew dip.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-post-image \">\n<figure class=\"img-tag v3 alignnone\">\n<div class=\"theframe \" data-loading=\"lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/townsquare.media\/site\/204\/files\/2026\/11\/attachment-tulsaking_405_ss_0116_0442_rt.jpg?w=980&amp;q=75\" alt=\"Tulsa King\" loading=\"lazy\" onload=\"this.parentNode.parentNode.classList.add('frame-loaded');\" onerror=\"this.parentNode.parentNode.classList.add('broken-image');\" fetchpriority=\"low\" width=\"5511\" height=\"3674\"\/><\/div><figcaption>Tulsa King<\/figcaption><span class=\"visually-hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Tulsa King<\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Agent Musso as villain is a plot twist few saw coming, and if that plays out, the show should be celebrated. There are still stray hairs to sift through (where is the dino on the ranch plot headed?) and more doom and gloom than we&#8217;re used to, but this was one of the stronger episodes of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully the second half of Season 4 keeps building.<\/p>\n<div class=\"photogallery-wrapper blog-photogallery \">\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">&#8216;Tulsa King&#8217; Season 4 Episode 5 Pictures: Did Dwight Figure It Out?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"photogallery-description\">\n<div>Season 4, Episode 5 of <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/tags\/tulsa-king\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Tulsa King<\/em><\/a> finds Dwight at his lowest point.
