Omar Navarro's is who he is for a reason. Marty Byrde may have seen a handful of deaths while exploring the world of drugs, but Navarro has been on top of it. Cleverly Marty wiretaps Wendy Byrde's (Laura Linney) phone and learns some shocking details about their plans for the forthcoming casinos. Marty has somehow managed to save himself from being finished at the hands of several gangsters and drug lords. But this time, Navarro being much ahead of Marty realizes that his calls were being tapped. While his knowledge regarding the realm of crime has helped him emerge as the kingpin, he is also driven by high morals. On learning about Marty's unethical behavior, he flies him down to Mexico blindfolded and keeps him captive in a dungeon until he submits. Although Wendy was determined about expanding their business further and made it obvious that she doesn't pay heed to Marty's opinion anymore, she is seen to be highly bothered by husband's disappearance. And the fact that under the watch of Navarro Marty is left with his fate up in the air, eats Wendy up. Thanks to Maya's brilliance and Marty's perseverance in fighting Wendy, he passes Navarro's loyalty test and manages to free himself. Wendy may have a fair idea about the torture Marty was subjected to, but she has no clue about his bigger plans. Furthermore, the episode teases a development in Wendy and Navarro's story arc as the former chose to follow her boss's order even when her husband's life was put on the line.
