Contains Spoilers for 'Ozark' Season 4 Part 2 (Episode 8)
Part One of ‘Ozark’ Season 4 ended with Ruth (Julia Garner) going bat-shit crazy after Javi killed her cousin Wyatt and Darlene. She had already made up her mind that she was going to kill Javi whenever she sees him. In the end, Ruth wanted answers and it was Charlotte who told her that Javi killed her loved ones. At the start of episode 8 of Season 4, Charlotte (Sofia Hublitz) reveals that Marty (Jason Bateman) and Wendy (Laura Linney) are going to meet Javi in Chicago and that’s where Ruth says that she is going.
Marty talks to Javi (Alfonso Herrera) about the meeting, but Wendy gets mad when he doesn’t tell anything about Ruth to him. Marty believes that Ruth won’t do anything rash and is not a real threat. However, Wendy knows what Ruth is capable of and meets her. She tells her how problematic the situation will get if she kills Javi. Ruth understands what she’s saying, but she’s not going to turn her back now and tells Wendy that no one can talk her out of what she’s planning to do.
