As stated before, Pastor Mason is going THROUGH IT this season. After finding out his wife's been murdered, his church was being used as a front for drugs and Marty's been laundering money through the construction his faith becomes shaken and he starts to slowly become unhinged.

In this scene, viewers see a clearly distraught Mason slowly walk into the water holding his son. He then looks pensively out at the horizon and...proceeds to SLAM DUNK HIS FREAKING BABY INTO THE OCEAN!

Okay, okay so maybe he didn't "slam dunk" his baby into the water, but he may as well have because viewers were forced to watch for an agonizing THIRTY seconds as he held his son under the water seemingly drowning him.

Normally, most series wouldn't even film a scene like this, but on a show like Ozark with execution-style deaths, torture and kidnapping anything is possible.

Thankfully Mason comes to his senses and pulls the baby out of the water completing the "baptism" but viewers know this situation could have definitely taken a darker turn.
