Any of these crumbling dynamics could be the one that takes down the Byrde empire.
Pick your team and place your bets.
Mel hears this from his car and looks suspicious, smelling Wendys bullshit.
My hope today is that all families will be safe, she says.
Well, not her brother or the Pierce family.
And the Byrde family seems to be in trouble too.
You take what you might get.
At first, they wont let Ruth in, but Charlotte calls Marty, who allows it.
Two major events happen at the Belle.
Even Marty knows this is wrong and tells her to stop lying about Ben.
Second, Ruth doesnt notice how often Kerry goes to the bathroom to get high.
What starts as a slight sniff in a stall leads to heroin all over the counter.
Shes drinking, hes snorting, and then hes falling down the stairs.
He overdoses in the lobby of the Belle, but hell be fine.
Ruth saves him, and the Byrdes show up to see the aftermath.
Somebody almost died from illegal drugs at what is supposed to be their clean front.
This could be a problem.
Oh, and Wendy would be dead if Ruths looks could kill.
He knows that Wendy is lying and that Ben didnt have a drug problem.
He later calls Wendy, and you get the impression that they havent spoken in years.
Wendy rips the phone off the wall when her dad yells at her.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Guerrero goes to meet with Ruth Langmore.
What was she doing at the Belle?
Shes looking for Kerry Stones driver too.
Ruth plays dumb and later tells Wyatt that Guerrero is fishing for information.
The law woman does the same with the Byrdes, and Wendy throws Ruth under the bus.
Wendy doesnt dismiss this idea, seemingly willing to punish her son for his decision to align with Ruth.
He wont serve time; we have connections, she says.
Everything could derail, but Marty has an idea.
He goes to Ruth with a six-pack and a deal.
Will one of the foundational relationships onOzarkhold everything together?
I thought you were clever, he tells her.
He wants to help her but also needs her product.
As she says, Its another Marty Byrde scheme.
It might be the last one.
Dirty Laundry
Kerry and Sam talking about paella made me hungry.
I loved Mel jamming out to Ca plane pour moi by Plastic Bertrand during his investigation.
And he knows all the words!
