![]() ![]() This leads Wendy to finally crack (figuratively and literally see photo, above). THE GIST: Wendy’s sauced-up dad learns that she was behind her brother’s death and, as a result, sets out to take his grandkids away from her, permanently. LOWLIGHT: Private eye Mel Sattem is finally closing in on the Byrdes, but it’s a waste of (our) time because we all know Marty and Wendy will eventually run him out of town or have him killed. ![]() HIGHLIGHT: Ruth luring a now clean and sober Rachel Garrison (Jordana Spiro, reprising her fantastic Season 1 and 2 role) back from Miami to help her take the Belle legit was a shrewd full-circle twist. Meanwhile, Marty and Wendy’s long-simmering hatred for one another spills over into an insane road rage incident. THE GIST: Marty and Wendy finally do the basic math and realize Navarro’s sister, Camila, put the hit out on Navarro (meaning, yep, Marty murdered the wrong dude). LOWLIGHT: Wendy sinks to a new low (and that’s saying something, kids!) when she helps pass out flyers for her “missing” brother she had murdered in cold blood. HIGHLIGHT: Devoting the cold open to showing us, via flashback, what happened during Ben’s final hours was a cool surprise. THE GIST: Marty seamlessly transitions into his second career as a drug kingpin in his first week on the job, he finds, tortures and murders the dude who ordered the hit on Navarro.

HIGHLIGHT: Agent Miller flatly rejecting Marty’s desperate plea for help on the grounds that “you’re just another criminal to me now” was the sickest of burns. (Marty’s gonna go to Mexico and assume leadership of the cartel!) THE GIST: The Byrdes miraculously find a solution to yet another worst case scenario (the latest one being Javi’s death) and on a Preposterous Scale of 1-10 it lands at an 11.5. LOWLIGHT: The flashbacks to Ruth’s torturous childhood - combined with present-day Ruth’s tedious Windy City cat-and-mouse game with Marty and Wendy - padded this hour to within an inch of its life, squandering much of the momentum coming out of that blockbuster midseason finale and rendering Javi’s actual execution at the hands of Ruth in the episode’s closing seconds wholly anticlimactic. She’s like a f-king predator that doesn’t even know why it’s killin’ anymore.” She will rip your heart out of your chest if it helps her get what she wants. HIGHLIGHT: Ruth’s spot-on analysis of narcissistic hypocrite Wendy in the episode’s final scene was satisfying beyond measure - so much so that I’m dropping the transcript here for posterity: “Wendy? She’s f-king soulless. THE GIST: Ruth kills Javi, avenging Wyatt’s death in the process. And then, of course, hit the comments to share your own snappy judgement on Ozark‘s last hurrah.
