Despite McBee Sr.'s absence, he has been following the third season of "The McBee Dynasty" from prison. The show continues to explore the drama surrounding his relationships, particularly with his girlfriend Masha Petrova, and the tensions it creates with his family and business dealings. McBee Jr. expressed uncertainty about his father's current relationship status with Petrova, indicating potential explanations will be needed upon his return.
