Tulsa King season 3 episode 8 recap time: “Nothing Is Over” drops on Sunday, November 9, 2025, and the hour detonates both literally and figuratively. Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone) reopens the bourbon operation, stares down a betrayal from watchmaker-terrorist Dexter Deacon (Dallas Roberts), and races to stop a bomb aimed at Cal Thresher’s campaign event while Special Agent Musso (Kevin Pollak) closes in. The result is an explosive near-miss that exposes every fragile alliance Dwight has left — from Margaret (Dana Delany) to his own crew.

With the liquor license restored, Joanne (Annabella Sciorra) gets the distillery humming again. Jeremiah Dunmire (Robert Patrick) walks out of jail into the orbit of Dexter Deacon, who coolly admits he was sent to kill the oil tycoon but would rather collaborate. Deacon even offers to eliminate “other people in [Dwight’s] life” as a macabre “gift,” a hint that the real target is the world around the General, not just Dwight himself. At the same time, Margaret helps Cal Thresher (Neal McDonough) prep a high-dollar campaign soiree at the Delmore Grand Hotel — ground zero for the episode’s big swing.

The double‑cross that Dwight sees coming
Dwight lines up a meet with Deacon and tips Musso to the time and place. Musso wants control — and arrests — yet Dwight’s playing another angle, confronting the fed about Bill Bevilaqua (Frank Grillo) being targeted and demanding Bevilaqua’s release. The détente is tense at best. Dwight still heads into the meet, “wired,” except he drops the wire at the door and walks in ready for the inevitable turn. That turn arrives when Deacon draws on him — only for Mitch (Garrett Hedlund) and Big Foot (Cash Flo) to spring the trap. “Didn’t expect to be on the wrong end of the double cross,” Deacon admits as he’s hustled out the back, beyond the feds’ surveillance.

Across town, Spencer (Scarlet Stallone) and Tyson (Jay Will) throw a hard‑charging ecstasy party at Higher Plane, with Bodhi (Martin Starr) grudgingly allowing the space in exchange for a cut. That’s when Cole (Beau Knapp) arrives with a warning about what his father is planning. Tyson puts the pieces together — mention of a “hotel” points to Thresher’s party — and calls Dwight. The heads‑up proves crucial. After Dwight forces Deacon to confirm the target and locks him in a cemetery crypt, he dials Musso and barrels for the Delmore Grand.
The blast, the fallout, and the cost

Phones are locked up at the event, so Dwight can’t reach Margaret directly. He arrives in time to push guests out, but the explosion still tears through the space. Mitch and others are injured. Margaret clocks Musso talking to Dwight and starts asking the right questions. Dwight refuses to tell the fed where Deacon is stashed, saying they’ll “talk in the morning.” In the short term, Dwight has foiled Jeremiah’s move and removed one “very terrible person” from the board. In the long term, he’s deepened suspicion among allies and given Musso fresh leverage.
Who did what in “Nothing Is Over” (cast & characters)
- Sylvester Stallone as Dwight Manfredi — runs the operation, anticipates the double‑cross, captures Deacon, and evacuates the Delmore Grand.
- Dallas Roberts as Dexter Deacon — the watchmaker‑terrorist flips to the Dunmires, offers to hit “other people” around Dwight, says “Didn’t expect to be on the wrong end of the double cross,” and ends up sealed in a crypt.
- Robert Patrick as Jeremiah Dunmire — released from jail, aligns with Deacon, and signs off on the hotel bombing that targets Cal Thresher’s event.
- Beau Knapp as Cole Dunmire — warns Spencer, indirectly saving lives.
- Kevin Pollak as Special Agent Musso — insists on owning the takedown, forces Dwight to wear a wire, and later confronts him amid the post‑blast chaos.
- Frank Grillo as Bill Bevilaqua — off‑screen but pivotal; Dwight demands that Musso release him.
- Neal McDonough as Cal Thresher — hosts the Delmore Grand fundraiser and pointedly calls Margaret a “Mafia moll.”
- Dana Delany as Margaret — manages Thresher’s event, survives the blast, and questions Dwight’s ties to Musso.
- Annabella Sciorra as Joanne — gets the distillery moving once the license is restored.
- Garrett Hedlund as Mitch — helps bag Deacon; is hurt in the explosion’s aftermath.
- Martin Starr as Bodhi — allows Spencer and Tyson to use Higher Plane for an MDMA party, taking a cut.
- Scarlet Stallone as Spencer — parties at Higher Plane and becomes the conduit for Cole’s warning.
- Jay Will as Tyson — pieces together the “hotel” clue and alerts Dwight.
- Cash Flo as Big Foot — backs Dwight up at the Deacon meet.
Best lines and sharpest reveals
- Deacon’s snake‑in‑the‑grass offer to Jeremiah includes taking out “other people in [Dwight’s] life” as a “gift.”
- At the meet, Deacon concedes, “Didn’t expect to be on the wrong end of the double cross.”
- Cal needling Margaret with “Mafia moll” lands like a warning shot about who will pay if Dwight keeps escalating.
- Musso frames Deacon as “old business” for the bureau even as he takes the case personally because a past bomb killed his partner.

“Nothing Is Over” flirts with tragedy and chooses a zero‑fatality escape, which will divide viewers. The rescue keeps the board intact for the last two episodes while turning up the heat on Dwight’s relationships. Margaret sees there’s more going on between Dwight and Musso than he’ll admit. Mitch is down. Spencer and Tyson are now pieces in the game. And Musso’s need for revenge — coupled with Dwight refusing to give up Deacon’s location — promises a reckoning as personal as it is tactical. If Jeremiah and Deacon wanted to blow up Dwight’s world, they might have done it anyway — not with shrapnel, but with suspicion.
What’s next after “Nothing Is Over”
Expect the federal‑criminal dance to get even messier. Musso still wants swift justice for his partner. Dwight still wants Bevilaqua freed and his people protected. Jeremiah still wants the distillery buried. And Deacon? If he’s not dead yet, he’s leverage — and a fuse waiting for someone to light. However, it breaks Tulsa King season 3 episode 8, narrowing the runway for clean endings. Nothing is over, and almost everything is about to blow.
