In the second season’s finale, Mai Ling visits Young Jun and reveals to him that she is the sister of Ah Sahm. In another development, Lee resigns from the force even though Bill tries to make amends. Jun goes to confront Ah Sahm, as he wonders whether Sahm has any connection to Long Zii tong. After a gruesome fight, Ah Sahm finally defeats Irishman Leary. He further warns Leary to stay away from Chinatown. More surprises await the viewers as Penelope is admitted to a mental health facility after being framed by Buckley. Later, Mai Ling seemingly gets the upper hand on the Deputy Mayor as she blackmails him into closing down the Hop Wei’s operations. In an unexpected turn of events, Zing plans a prison break.

Going into the third season, Mai Ling will have immense power with Deputy Mayor Buckley as her pawn. Initially, Leary was a working-class politician positing a severe threat to Buckley. But following the humiliation by Ah Sahm, Leary may find a reason to team up with Buckley and wage war against the tongs.
Hopefully, Sophie will set aside her differences with Penelope and try to get her released from the institution. Moreover, with Zing’s skill set, he will have no difficulty breaking free from prison. He may even get some help from Mai Ling. In the bigger picture, a war waits to break out between the Hop Wei and the Long Zii, but if Mai Ling gets a hunch of the mayor’s real plan, maybe she will be able to put the war on hold. With the diverse and entwined story arcs remaining to be explored, the third season will be much more cerebral and chaotic.
