Tulsa King season 3 keeps its foot on the gas in Episode 7, “Art of War,” which dropped on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 3:00 a.m. ET (12:00 a.m. PT) on Paramount+. Dwight “The General” Manfredi leans into a classic con, Jeremiah Dunmire overplays his hand, and Spencer makes her boldest move yet—setting up a volatile final stretch for the Paramount+ drama.
The con that flips the board
Dwight needs leverage to restore the liquor license and un-freeze the bourbon pipeline. He turns to Margaret, who knows Tulsa’s political class. Over drinks with the Attorney General’s wife, Margaret learns the marriage is strained because of Sackrider’s gambling. That sets a trap at Cal Thresher’s casino, Bred 2 Buck: “free” chips, one spin, and soon Sackrider runs up a $100,000 debt. Dwight offers to wipe it—if they can be “friends.” The debt-for-allegiance play puts the Attorney General on Dwight’s side and humiliates Jeremiah.
Jeremiah’s fury detonates in the episode’s final beat. After receiving a copy of The Art of War from Dwight and realizing he’s lost Sackrider and the state pressure on Montague Distilleries, Jeremiah storms into the Attorney General’s office, attacks him, and gets hauled off to jail. The arrest doesn’t end the feud, but it removes the Dunmire patriarch from the field at a crucial moment.
Spencer crosses a line—and Scarlet Stallone explains why
Chris Caldovino as Goodie and Jay Will as Tyson
As Dwight runs the long con, Tyson and Goodie hatch a smaller one: a faux-cop raid on a frat house to scoop up cash and ecstasy. They ask Spencer to recon the scene. She not only scouts it—she volunteers to sell the haul through bartenders and DJs for a cut, signaling a new fearlessness.
Scarlet Stallone describes the pivot: “It completely changed our relationship in general,” she says of working with her father, Sylvester Stallone, noting the experience gave them “more of a profound respect for one another.” On Spencer’s growth, she adds that the character “was just an awkward college girl… [now] a spark of rebel passion… drew her to wanting to do something that is so out of her comfort zone.” She also says, “She just loves making money.”
Spencer’s secret meetings with Cole Dunmire complicate everything. He confesses feelings and bristles under Jeremiah’s abuse, hinting at a possible break from his father. Whether he flips or implodes, that relationship now sits at the fault line of the war Dwight is waging.

What Episode 7 sets up
Dana Delany as Margaret and Sylvester Stallone as Dwight Manfredi
Dwight’s maneuver turned the Attorney General from pressure point to partner, while Jeremiah’s arrest creates a vacuum in the Dunmire power structure. If Cole acts on the feelings he confessed to Spencer, he could either become a liability to Jeremiah or an asset to Dwight. The $100,000 casino play also signals more white-collar cons ahead. With distribution inching back and enemies reeling, the war narrows to who can hold their nerve—and their allies—through the final three episodes of Tulsa King season 3.
