Ozark Season 4 Already Hinted At Zeke's Perfect Ending
Warning! Spoilers for Ozark season 4 part 1.
Ozark season 4, part 1 brought major changes to the series, with many left wondering how the story will conclude for Darlene’s baby, Zeke, after that explosive ending. Last seen with Ruth as she speeds off to find Javi, Zeke is now essentially a hostage in a potentially violent situation. What’s worse, with Ozark season 4 split into two seven-episode parts, fans now have to wait to see how the story will end.
Ozark follows Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman) as he moves his family from Chicago to Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri in an attempt to save them from the wrath of a Mexican cartel. Once there, the Byrdes build a money-laundering empire for the cartel and become increasingly entangled in the criminal world, including conflicts with the local opium farmers Jacob and Darlene Snell, who deal their heroin from the boats of a lake ministry. When the pastor of the ministry stops preaching to prevent the drug deals, Darlene takes retribution by murdering the pastor’s wife, Grace, shortly after she had given birth to Zeke. Things only get worse for Zeke in Ozark season 2, when his father, the pastor, is shot by the Byrdes and he becomes a ward of the state. After spending time in the Byrdes’ custody, the Byrdes give Zeke to Darlene in exchange for her help in building the casino.
