Ozark Season 3: 6 Ups & 2 Downs
3. Ups: The Foreshadowing
For example, it wasn't exactly shocking that Helen died, but the way she did was. Starting off the season getting waterboarded by the cartel we knew she wasn't untouchable.
Then, we see her casually ask Nelson will he warn her if he ever has to kill her, fear for her life when Ben and Jonah each came to her house to be spared by both of them, only to ultimately die in the end. Nelson has been her driver the entire show , but in this final scene we see he is now driving the Byrdes and he is staring at Helen the entire plane ride like a lion with its prey.
Ben's death was foreshadowed by multiple people saying how much of a ticking time bomb he was. Marty, Helen and the police all eventually wanted him committed. Finally, when he and Wendy are on the run he makes mistake after mistake and becomes too much of a liability to leave alive forcing Wendy to make the call.
Even poor Sue, the therapist's fate was sealed the minute she pulled up in that sports car. We knew it was going to happen, but to watch it play out was so intriguing.
