Again, Wendy doesnt have maternal instincts, which will come back to haunt her with Jonah.

But maybe Martys can save the family?

She has some demands.

When he doesnt respond, she gets up and leaves as his plane takes off.

He cant give up that much, but whats the counteroffer?

Does he blow it all up?

She doesnt seem to care and rages at Marty when she returns.

Will Marty remember that in his endgame?

Is there a way forbothof them to win?

Of course, for Jonah and anyone sane its a reminder that Wendy killed Ben.

It feels hollow and manipulative like so much of what Wendy does nowadays.

Did she expect her shrine to solve their problems?

Omar gets home from his meeting with Maya, and Javi sulks in a big room.

Interestingly, Omar hasnt said a word about Maya.

He cant trust Javi.

And hes reticent when his nephew insists on overseeing the deal between Clare Shaw and the Byrdes.

He wants to keep his monster locked up in the castle.

Back at the Lazy-O, Ruth has gone around Darlene to rekindle the supply chain through Kerry Stone.

Theres no way this ends well, right?

She reveals that her father indeed hired Mel, and hes returned to Chicago empty-handed.

What role will Erin play in the endgame?

She hasnt been much more than a hype man for Wendy this season.

It leads Charlotte to suggest she go to Chicago with them to talk to Erin.

Marty wants Jonah to come, but hes not interested.

The divide between Jonah and the other three Byrde family members continues to deepen.

The power plays between Darlene and Ruth are already starting to feel a little thin.

Darlene is the most formidable woman in the Ozarks, and Ruth is one of the smartest.

Theyd get much further if they teamed up instead of trying to figure out which one is the alpha.

And the Crazy Darlene bit is already getting tired too.

I hope they move on soon.

She owes him money even though the pipeline has been cut off.

Shes not giving an inch, ready to go to war with everyone.

Thats not going to end well.

The Byrdes didnt kill Helen, but they could kill her and everyone else if they needed to.

Charlotte is Wendys daughter through and through, leading withfauxsympathy and then landing the gut punch.

Meanwhile, Wendy speaks to Senator Schafer, a heavy-hitter they need for their new political empire.

He hates Wendy, but hes smart enough to know the value of what shes offering.

The road to the White House will go through him.

Wendy, who was once scared of men like Schafer, feels proud of her political maneuvering.

While Shaw and her team are testing the product, Ruth moves some of her own through Kerry.

His latest clients need a place to party, and apparently, her trailer park will do.

Maybe a little bit of both?

Shes responding to Ruths initiative, but its also because she kind of has no choice.

Its the kind of olive branch she needs.

And they toast: To your business being my business and mine being yours.

Hes pale and sweaty.

Im worried hes using the product.

However, it could just be that shiny blue aesthetic of the show.

Killer Mike closes the episode!

Marty tells Wendy, Thats muscling; thats not parenting.

The line between how the two of them respond to Jonah continues to feel definitive for this season.

Every Chicagoan probably smiled at the Portillos reference.

The great Oscar nominee plays Schafer.
