Ozark season 4 : The Byrde family (and their unfortunate companions) have been through three seasons of betrayal, murder as well as money laundering during the crime show Ozark and the fourth season, which was divided into two parts is no less heartbreaking.
The first episode of season four’s finale featured more murders and murders, as FBI Inside man/co-head of the cartel Javi Elizonndro (Alfonso Herrera) murdered recentlyweds Darlene (Lisa Emery) and Wyatt (Charlie Tahan) and left their dead bodies to Ruth (Julia Garner) to search for.
In a state of anger and grief, Ruth was able to get her holding a gun in the Byrdes in search of answers. She discovered from Jonah who claimed that Javi was the culprit behind the killings.
The desire for revenge grew throughout the second half of the season which led to a string of events that were explosive that led to the finale of the series.

Ozark season four’s conclusion explained
Part two opens with an unstable Ruth (Julia Garner) hunting down Wyatt’s killer. It isn’t long before her rage rampage ends with her shooting Javi to death in front of the Byrdes and Shaw medical boss Clare Shaw (Katrina Lenk).
To protect themselves and Ruth the Byrdes cover up her deed by telling Omar Navarro (Felix Solis) that his nephew has disappeared, and is presumed dead. Which puts Navarro back in prime position to reaffirm his extradition deal with the FBI but first he must regain control of his drug cartel.
He does so by getting Marty to personally deliver the message that he killed Javi and sending him to temporarily act as his emissary in Mexico.
The news doesn’t go down well and someone makes an attempt on Navarro’s life – that someone being his sister Camila (Javi’s mum, played by Veronica Falcón).
Meanwhile Clare Shaw’s feeling a little cool towards the Byrdes after helping to scrub Javi’s blood out of the floors of her office. She strikes up a deal with Ruth Langmore to oust the Byrdes by using the Darlene-inherited drugs to supply Shaw medical.
This suits Ruth just fine because on top of screwing over the Byrdes out of their arrangement she means to use her new earnings to buy the majority shares of the casino The Missouri Belle from them.
Naturally they refuse, it being their main money-laundering business for the cartel. However Ruth’s a Langmore and Langmores don’t quit, apparently.
Thanks to the Langmore-Snell nuptials Ruth has inherited Darlene’s estate as well as her shares in the Belle. She buys the remaining shares off Charles Wilkes and gets her criminal record expunged, making her the proud majority owner of the Belle and the first clean Langmore in five generations.
