Theyre almost better business partners when theyre in different parts of the world.
The episode opens with a poignant flashback to Bens last day on earth.
The scene unfolds on the road trip at the end of his life.
At a restaurant, he thought Wendy had gone to the bathroom, but shes not in there.
Its an echo of the monologue in the car fromhis last episode, but somehow even more painful.
You think shed be proud of me now?
he asks about Wendy even as shes the one who sent him to his impending death.
He should be furious at Wendy, but he has nothing but forgiveness for her.
Its a scene that shows that we dont really know people or how they will respond.
That and the coldness at the center of Wendys heart.
His final words: This is a dream.
He cant show an ounce of weakness or they will join forces with a rival.
He tells Omars people that Javi is dead, on the orders of Navarro.
Martys plan is to take over until they can get Omar out of prison.
He confidently reassures a skeptical Camila (Veronica Falcon).
It doesnt go well.
And then Wendy meets Sgt.
Guerreros replacement, a schmo named Deputy Wycoff (Brad Carter).
Whats Wendys play here?
Wycoff wants to ask him a few questions, but Jonah doesnt seem too rattled.
As it heats up, Nathan interrupts the conversation, protecting his grandson.
But Wendy plays hardball.
Youve worked your whole life for this, she tells him, playing to his ego.
She wants whales for a casino event that will get all the money she needs.
He agrees to make some calls.
Say what you will about Wendy Byrde, but she can still be very convincing.
While Mel is hot on Wendys trail as he investigates Bens disappearance, Wycoff is tailing Ruth.
After spotting his men, she gives the acting sheriff a piece of her mind.
Wendy is playing chess, and youre playing fucking Candyland, she says.
However, Ruth does need help to get around this roadblock and goes to Frank Jr. to get it.
I aint neither of them, she says.
Wendy calls and tells Marty, who knows this information cant leak.
It has to be impossible to take Omar down.
They need to find out who did this.
We do what Navarro would do, says Marty.
And just then, Camila walks out and lights a cigarette.
Was she behind it?
Taking out her own brother?
Marty believes it was Arturo he was jealous of Javi, and they caught him cheating the cartel.
Marty is in full gangster mode already.
Does Marty know at this point that its likely he cant leave Mexico without killing Arturo?
Marty oversees the torture of Arturo, hoping to get a confession out of him.
But Marty needs a confession and he needs to know who else was involved.
Shaw is pulling their contributions from the rehab venture.
Wendy calls Clare, threatening that she shouldnt make the people Wendy works for unhappy.
After more torture, Arturo finally gives in, confessing to something he clearly didnt do.
A crestfallen Marty calls Wendy.
What can he do now?
Marty looks at Father Benitez.
He looks down to watch Arturo get killed.
He knows he has to look.
But hes still here.
Jonahs line about why he works for Ruth made me laugh for some reason: Were friends.
Veronica Falcon strikes an imposing, often silent figure.
