Season 4 presents a time of uncertainty and precarity for almost every character in ‘BMF.’ The Flenory brothers start off the season on top of their game, successfully running multiple operations across the states. Nonetheless, while everything seems fine from the outside, a growing rivalry between brothers, Meech and Terry, threatens to unravel everything they have built together brick by brick. Therefore, B-Mickie’s return into their lives at this opportune moment adds all the more tension to the storyline. Despite being absent from season 3, B-Mickie’s character and his relationship with the Flenorys and their gang’s early days remain a memorable affair. For the same reason, his efforts at returning to their good graces, only to further his vengeful plan against them, set up a perfect plot for a tale of friendships turning sour. However, once B-Mickie’s true intentions come out in the open, his future becomes shrouded in peril, compelling one to wonder where the season takes the gangster and his fate. SPOILERS AHEAD!
B-Mickie Dies a Brutal Death in the Season 4 Finale
At the end of season 2, B-Mickie finds a departure of sorts from the story. After he betrays Meech’s trust, he’s exiled from the organization and left behind in Detroit. Naturally, once cut off from the drug empire, his quality of life soon declines. He has to work multiple jobs and still only makes a fraction of what he was earning with BMF. Eventually, his finances become a huge problem after his daughter, Vee, develops a near-fatal medical condition. Nonetheless, the father doesn’t have enough money to pay for her medications and life-saving treatments. As a result, he tries to get back in with Meech and Terry, re-entering the narrative. Although the former remains suspicious of him, the latter takes the bait due to his own desperation and Vee’s medical condition.
However, little does Terry know that B-Mickie’s attempts at redemption had been a calculated plan all along. The coincidental incident that puts him back into the brothers’ path is actually one he painstakingly manufactured himself. Before Meech and Terry’s planned arrival in town for their sister’s graduation party, B-Mickie pays a visit to Lamar Silas, the Flenorys’ long-standing nemesis. He manages to convince the man to attack the brothers in the party’s aftermath. As a result, B-Mickie has the perfect opportunity to swoop and save the day. In the long run, it’s this altercation that prompts Terry to even consider a partnership with their former ally in the first place. However, in the end, it’s this very decision that ends up costing the latter his life.
After using Lamar as a means to an end, B-Mickie inevitably earns him as his enemy. Therefore, when the former manages to survive the shooting and get back up on his feet, he zeroes in on his desire to take revenge on his traitorous partner. Consequently, Lamar kidnaps his enemy’s wife and daughter in order to strong-arm him into meeting up with him. Meanwhile, the Flenory brothers uncover B-Mickie’s betrayal, compelling them to set up an ambush meet-up with him. Ultimately, all these interconnected players meet for a showdown, which is only exacerbated by Detective Bryant’s presence. Ultimately, as B-Mickie tries to take his own wife as a hostage to escape the cop, Bryant shoots him, delivering him to his demise.
Myles Truitt Will Likely Not Return to BMF
Myles Truitt’s B-Mickie first appeared in ‘BMF’ in season 1, establishing the close-knit nature of his relationship with the protagonists. The character is partially inspired by the real-life former drug dealer, Derick “D” Meeks, who partnered with Demetrius “Big Meech” and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory in the early days. Although there are a few key similarities between the two, the show’s semi-biographical tag inevitably leads to some divergences. B-Mickie’s storyline in season 4 remains one of the most notable such differences. In this season, the character was fueled by his desire for vengeance, which pushes him to re-enter Meech and Terry’s orbits. Eventually, this revenge-driven decision leads him to his ruin. Therefore, while Truitt and his character have taken a short-lived departure from ‘BMF,’ in the past, their exit from the project seems more final this time around.
B-Mickie’s death is followed by a funeral service in which the man is confirmed to be dead and buried. As such, it would be impossible for the character to return in the event of a season 5. Ultimately, it seems B-Mickie’s narrative has run its course, ending on a bleak, ruinous note for the character. In his final moments, the gangster lost all that he held dear, including his wife, Aisha, who finally sees him for his true self-serving nature. Furthermore, the fact that he dies via the gun that he himself used to commit his first murder adds a layer of ironic tragedy to his tale. Thus, with the character’s narrative wrapped up, actor Myles Truitt’s time with ‘BMF’ seems to have come to a natural end. While the actor can still make an appearance through flashbacks, fans can remain confident that he won’t be making a more permanent return to the show. Still, with projects like ‘Cali Dreams,’ ‘A Soulful Christmas,’ and ‘Window’ on the way, Truitt seems to have a promising and exciting future ahead of him.
