'Ozark' Season 3 Ending: What in the World Just Happened on the Show?Home > Television > OzarkSource: Netflix ' Ozark' Season 3 Finale Explained What' s in Store for the Byrdes By Mustafa GatollariMar. 30 2020, Updated 2:31 p.m. ET Jason Bateman had a hit right out of the gate with Ozark — the money laundering crime drama about the Byrde family has been absolutely huge for Netflix. Featuring a slew of top actors, tight writing rife with shocking surprises, and satisfying arcs for each of the characters that intertwine brilliantly, along with a setting that hasn't been featured in many other shows, it's no wonder fans were eager to binge-watch Season 3 right until they reached its ending.Article continues below advertisement Warning Spoilers for Season 3 of ' Ozark' ahead "All In" is fairly methodical and slow-paced episode considering it's the season finale. It mainly functions as a set up for Season 4 and has an interesting way of touching on what could possibly be the major themes for the show's next installment of episodes. Charlotte Byrde says "None of this works if we don't stick together," but it appears that most of the plot points in Season 3's ending has to do with folks pulling away from each other.

Her attempt at taking over their operation ultimately costs her her life, but she isn't the only ally that ends up becoming an enemy for the Byrdes. Ruth Langmore decides to join Darlene Snell's crime syndicate, which seems like it'll be the major struggle for the fourth season. When Ruth discovers that Wendy had no problems with Ben being killed, that made it easier for Darlene to snatch her up and reunite her with Wyatt, who she bailed out of jail in the opening of Season 3. With Ruth, who has a deep understanding of how Marty runs his money laundering business in league with Darlene, combined with Wyatt's loyalty, they could be a viable threat to the Byrdes' empire.Article continues below advertisement Laura Linney is working her way into Bryan Cranston territory.

He's a statistician who is all about hard evidence and numbers, and Wendy even offers to look after Navarro's kids. The drug lord must also be feeling pretty spooked by the violence going on in Mexico. The show opens up with a brutal act of violence and ends with one too.

The fact that Marty was able to get drone footage (thanks to his son's work) or Navarro's enemies probably helped a bunch, too. Oh, and that Wendy had no problem with "giving up" her own brother to the cartel.Article continues below advertisement Me after Binge watching and finishing #Ozarkseason3 in less 48Hrs: pic.twitter.com/FlYkweU9GI— Mo (@Makaveli_Mo1) March 28, 2020 #Ozarkseason3 and its a wrap.

Aside from the Darlene-Ruth-Wyatt triumvirate, there's also Helen's daughter, Erin, to worry about, along with that forged confession and witness protection document the FBI's got in their hands. The season ends with Omar Navarro saying, "Today is our beginning," and it certainly seems to be a new beginning for the Byrds.AdvertisementMore from Distractify Tom Pelphrey's 'Ozark' Season 3 Character Adds to Marty and Wendy's Marital Strain 'Ozark's Madison Thompson Reveals That Season 3 Is All About Family Ties (EXCLUSIVE) When Is 'Ozark' Season 3 Coming Out?
