In case it wasn't clear before, Roy Petty is one freaky dude. Season 2 episode 4 of Ozark opens on the FBI agent spiralling deep into an obsession. He listens back to Rachel's tapes over and over again and even gets off to an older recording of Russ and Ruth talking. When we return to the present, Wendy is watching Sam Dermody speak with a small group of people. Looks like the motivational speaker route worked out for him, but she still manages to con him by offering an opportunity for supplemental income. Speaking of work, Rachel doesn't like that Charlotte is working at the Blue Cat again. Petty listens at the bar and later tells Rachel that she'll need to wear a wire constantly from now on. At Marty's other office, Wendy scans the walls for bugs. She and Marty meet with a man, Beecher, about the closures. To protect themselves during the investigation, Wendy has Sam pose as manager for Lickety Splitz. At the Langmore's, Wyatt fantasizes about his dead dad. Seems Russ is haunting everyone these days. As he talks with his ghost, Wyatt gives voice to his one burning question: was Russ going to the Blue Cat that fateful night to hurt Marty? Unfortunately, he's interrupted by Ruth, who is upset that Wyatt's counselor is pushing him toward tech college over Mizzou. Back at the Byrde home, Marty continues to get harassed. Pastor Mason shows up, dumping money at his feet that he insists is unwanted charity. Over at Lickey Splitz, Cade is stirring up trouble for Ruth. After he makes a scene with a stripper and then hits Sam, Ruth proves her guts by having him thrown out of the club. We return back to Rachel, where-of course- Petty has finally hit his breaking point. He's irate and practically foaming at the mouth, holding her at gunpoint until he finally tells her she has one more chance. Meanwhile, Marty and Wendy prepare for their meeting with Beecher. They bicker over Wendy's so-called unilateral decision-making, but prep a Grateful Dead bribe nonetheless. When they show up to make the trade though, Wendy calls the whole thing off. She's got a "bad feeling," unilateral decision-making concerns are thrown to the wind.
