The theme of these three episodes is blood above all else, but it’s really challenged in this episode. Is family more important than anything else? What makes your family? Is it blood? Is it legal obligation, like marriage? Is it choice? We see so many characters directly asking and answering those questions. Frank Jr to his father, Omar to Javi, Wyatt to Darlene, says he won’t cut Ruth out because she’s my family, but then he tells Ruth he won’t leave the Ozarks because Darlene, Zeke and I are a family. Wendy fighting Marty, undermining Jonah, supporting Charlotte’s foolish decision to leave the SATs because it serves her professional ambitions. Wendy’s own father tells her she always thought the world revolved around her and it was quieter after she left, which would be heartbreaking if we couldn't imagine Wendy saying the very same things to either her brother Ben, or now her son Jonah.   What will become of our favorite Ozark inhabitants? We have some ideas.
