I love this show. Does it take liberties with reality at times? Sure, but it's a fantastic story and beautifully acted.
This episode, however, was a hot mess. The back and forth between the FBI and Omar and Javi, Maya's malleability (which was not believable all season, not just here), the FBI giving a hoot what Marty and/or Wendy have to say- it was all ridiculous.
Last episode ending with Wyatt proposing to Darlene after he'd seen her murder multiple people felt so abrupt (and by the way, having worked in Child Welfare for decades, they wouldn't have left Zeke in her care if her health was poor, and Wyatt would've needed to complete the application, training, and certification process, so that whole thing bugs me) and it seemed out of character for Wyatt to not want Ruth at his wedding.
The whole thing with Ruth getting seeds from some lady who apparently knew her mother- what was the significance of any of that?? She has a lovely box and these seeds, presumably to give as a wedding gift, but why those? Why from tat lady? And I STILL want to know what happened with those dealers who didn't want to sell Ruth the drugs. What changed their mind??
I don't know if COVID prevented them from filming scenes that would have made any of this make sense, but that episode sucked and was horribly incoherent. I really hope the second half of this season ends up being better constructed as it's too good a show to put forth such a jumbled, nonsensical last season.
