"Book of Ruth"-episode number six of Ozark-opens with immediate conflict. Jacob Snell has kidnapped Marty, bringing him back to the Snell compound. Here, he details his heroin empire, explaining that Marty's church is getting in the way of his profit. He "needs the preacher on the water," he says, before threatening not only the Byrde family but also Pastor Mason's unborn child if so much as a single nail more is hammered into the building. With this more immediate threat in mind, it's easy for Marty to underestimate resident snake in the grass, Ruth. Ruth has a plan in mind and meets (finally!) her daddy at the prison to discuss strategy. This presents a total flip for Ruth's power dynamic. In the prison, she is nervous, vulnerable and can hardly make eye contact with her father. As he encourages her to steal and kill Marty, it quickly becomes apparent that Ruth may not be as calloused as she'd like others to think. Still, there's more than one Langmore who's got hidden layers. Russ and Agent Roy are still together, and the latter is pitching his idea about opening a bait and tackle shop. Roy wants Russ to join him. When Russ resists, questioning where they'd get the capital for a start-up, Roy is quick to innocently reply, "What about the guy your niece works with? Byrde. . . Get him to invest." At work, Wendy is chiseling away at her plan to get the Byrdes more cash. She confronts Sam, asking for a hefty bonus. Sam agrees despite backlash from his mother, who utters my absolute favorite insult ever: "This hussy comes in here, bats her eyes and gets your money gone faster than a toupee in a hurricane." Over at the Blue Cat, Marty is facing his own problems. Rachel has discovered his puffed-up invoices, and she demands that he leave. After the confrontation, Marty drives home, past the abandoned church construction. He stops suddenly, staring up. "They put up a cross," he says, his voice full of horror. He has been condemned by the very symbol of hope and forgiveness.
