And shes starting to realize that Marty is not helping her cause.
Warning: Her vocabulary primarily consists of expletives.
Is Helens disastrous, eventually violent divorce a sign of the future of the Byrdes?
Safety is a greater concern with someone like Ben around.
He may have a charming accent, but hes going to be trouble.
Its going to cost Marty more money, but thats how much Ruth is worth to him.
As Marty taps her phone because he doesnt trust her, she keeps pushing forward.
Marty is there for the first meeting, but he basically talks the husband owner out of doing it.
Wendy isnt dumb enough to bring Marty to the second meeting, taking Helen instead.
They convince the couple to sell, offering way over value.
But this just means that Marty has to play even rougher.
And yet Wendy can always go a step further.
They have to sell.
One wonders what the next step would be if they didnt.
Speaking of violence, Helen gets one of her darker beats this episode.
Like Wendy, Helen doesnt take well to being told what to do.
It almost feels like Helen and Wendy are feeding each others sociopathic behavior.
That could be a problem.
He tells Wendy that he worries that the injury was a bad omen.
And what does it mean that the maid is now dead?
Is Wendy just a maid to him, someone disposable?
And what if he starts to suspect shes the cause of these bad omens?
Importantly, she plays to Wyatts concern about The Langmore Curse, telling him theres no such thing.
Shes going to be major trouble for Wyatt.

Finally, a warrant is delivered, triggered the minute the Byrdes purchased a second casino.
Its an integrated, constant audit of the entire operation.
They will be supervised with every transaction at the Missouri Belle.
Now, how is Wendy Byrde going to intimidate her way out of this one?
Dirty Laundry
It feels like there are two visions of the Byrde future embedded in this episode.
Wendy doesnt want that; Marty would probably be happy with it.
And then theres Helens divorce.
Lets hope Wendy isnt listening to Marty getting attacked in a garage in a few years.
Im so glad they answered the question about Ben and Wendys different accents.
Wendy lost hers apparently, probably tamped down by her time in politics in the Midwest.
One almost wishes she still had as thick of one as her brother.
This show isso blue.
The blue color palette of the last two seasons seems to have been turned up to 11.
Even when theyre in the casino, indoors, it looks like theres blue light on everything.
Tom Pelphrey already brings a nice, unstable presence to this season.
It reminds me of the first time Joey Pants showed up onThe Sopranos.
