That Marty Byrde gets his son Zeke back for him.

Then what was Mason going to do?

A bloody scene unfolds, and Marty Byrde kills Mason Young.

For the second episode in a row, someone in the Byrde sphere ends up dead.

Theyre the grim reapers of the Ozarks.

It does feel, however, that the drama in Masons basement brings Wendy and Marty close again.

Thank God because if Wendy catches Marty cheating with Rachel, shell burn the entire state to the ground.

But she makes a crucial mistake, thinking that the boat owner wont be home when he actually is.

Ruth tells her demented daddy that she thinks she knows where Marty keeps his money.

Theres no way this ends well.

The Byrdes have convinced themselves that they are not bad people just because they help bad people.

Its how they sleep at night.

What better PR could the Byrdes have than a new baby?

But what will they do with it when the reporter leaves?

Dirty Laundry

Theres an orphaned baby in the Ozarks and the Snells desperately want a male heir.

Anyone else think these subplots are about to intertwine?

Theyll probably be back next episode.

Ill miss Michael Mosley, who did excellent work as Mason Young.

Lets talk about Ruth for a second.

Its sad to see her chopping up boat parts with her loser father.

Lets hope she breaks out of this rut.

She will likely be forced to make a choice between Marty and Cade before the season ends.

Lets hope she makes the right one.
