The final season of Ozark, produced by Netflix, begins with an unbelievable bang. Literally. The Byrdes, as they drive their minivan, engage in small talk with assorted other motorists.
Marty (played by Jason Bateman) then attempts to steer clear of crashing at once with a semi-truck. Unfortunately, he loses control of the vehicle. The minivan then flips over several times, rolling over the roadway on its side.
The episode jumps back to the previous episode where season three ended, with Marty and Wendy (played byLaura Linney) visiting Omar Navarro (played by Felix Solis).
The last episode of season three saw Helen Pierce (played by Janet McTeer), who was trying to sabotage Marty and Wendy, killed by one of Navarro’s underlings.
