In the hills and hollers where the white lightning flows, a new batch of trouble is brewing on “Moonshiners.” This week’s episode, “Knockout Punch,” finds our intrepid distillers facing setbacks, seeking unlikely alliances, and confronting potential betrayals. Turns out, outsmarting the law and your competition isn’t as simple as it looks on TV.
Mike and Jerry, usually a well-oiled moonshining machine, encounter a wrench in their gears thanks to the meddling of Mark Rogers. Their operation disrupted, the duo is forced to rethink their strategy, which we’ve seen before. The question is how they’ll approach this latest curveball – with their usual ingenuity or a reckless gamble?
Meanwhile, Tim Smith’s facing a different kind of pressure: disappointing sales. His product, once flying off the shelves, has hit a slump. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for Tim, that means a call to Howard. Can this partnership revitalize Tim’s brand, or will it prove to be another miscalculation in the volatile moonshine market?
Adding another shot of tension to the mix, Mark and Digger are closing in on the culprit behind their missing liquor. After weeks of suspicion and speculation, they seem to have identified the sticky-fingered thief. Confrontation seems inevitable, and given the history of these clandestine operations, it’s unlikely to be a civilized affair.
“Knockout Punch” is shaping up to be a potent cocktail of setbacks and suspicions, offering a glimpse into the precarious lives of those operating outside the margins of the law. Whether these moonshiners will weather the storm or get caught in the crossfire is another matter altogether.
“Knockout Punch” airs Tuesday, November 26, at 8 PM on Discovery.
