No one is really giving anything up, but its Ben who seems to be getting the most agitated.
As the feds make a run at turn Ruth good luck with that Ben paces and gets more restless.

And this sends Ben into full panic mode.
When her boss calls Helen instead and she hands the phone to Wendy, the Byrde matriarch is aggravated.
Shes still furious about the horse farm incident and reminds Navarro, Marty and I are the brand.
The Byrdes are the shield for the illegal operation.
She plays to his intelligence and business sense, reminding him to let her do what she does well.
She needs to be the face to protect the illegal activity going on behind the scenes.
Marty and Helen learn in a meeting with the Feds that they have acrazytheory about what happened.
Tommy was a mole.
The theory is that Marty found out and staged the cartel hit just to get rid of Tommy.
As Helen points out, that would be near impossible to prove.
The bigger problem is that Frank Jr. might believe it.
He thinks Marty and Ruth got one of his friends killed.
After all, Ruth changed the drop location.
Frank confronts her in the casino, right in front of Maya.
He later calls Marty in a panic.

And she wants that to be Martys job.
She claims shell do it herself.
Ruth isnt that wrong here.
If Frank Jr. had beat up Charlotte Byrde, hed already be dead.
As Ben is literally carrying Ruth home, Wyatt comes to her trailer.
Who did this Ruth?, he asks.
Who we are aint so bad.
Its the Byrdes that cursed everything, he tells her.
Has this whole episode been about planting the seed of potential dissent in Ruth Langmore?
And did it work?
Dirty Laundry
Frank Jacksons therapy scene was great.
Why not get a little bit of help before you commit a murder?
Speaking of Sue, you have to love the sports car scene.
hey get back in the toy and leave is one of the best lines of the year.
With only three episodes left, theres been a surprising lack of carnage.
No, Tommy doesnt count.
But it still feels like anybody could be on the chopping block.
