Navarro survives, though Camila's presence gives the Byrdes another opportunity. They eventually decide to have her take over instead when the problem of freeing Navarro proves too complicated. The FBI make a deal with Camila, and the plan for Navarro is to transfer him to another prison – and kill him en route.
Business
However, it doesn't quite deal with the issue of Mel being in their garden or the fact that he'll continue to hunt the family down in an attempt to serve justice. The Ozark finale has aired and not everyone is thrilled about the fate of some of its biggest characters. Camila, realizing that Marty and Wendy were close to Ruth, told them that if they warned Ruth she would kill their entire family.
Final season of ‘Ozark’ gets underway Friday
She pretends she wants to give back, but she and her husband, Jason Bateman’s Marty, are too far gone morally to have any good intentions left. Do Wendy and Marty in fact enjoy playing with fire? I’m not sure what the answer to that question is, which is one of the show’s shortcomings.

Ozark’s Sofia Hublitz on Being Charlotte Byrde, and Being Herself
Drug lord and series villain Omar Navarro (Felix Solis) also met his demise, after two back-to-back twists. "I’m not sorry," she says, before Camila kills her. "Your son was a murdering bitch. And now I know where he got it from."

Camila then threatens the Byrdes and says if they try to warn Ruth, she'll have them and their children killed. A good finale should bring the story to a close, while also hinting at the next chapter that would follow after the show ends. So it was with the last episode of Ozark, where Camila Elizonndro (Veronica Falcón) tied up all the loose ends before taking over the cartel. Sadly for Navarro, that meant tying up the loose end that was her brother's life. Javi ended the first half of the season pointing a firearm at Marty after murdering Wyatt and agreeing to a deal from the FBI on behalf of his uncle. When the second part returned, Ruth was on the hunt for Wyatt’s killer.

While cleansed from her sins, she also becomes the sacrificial lamb in the story. Her death enables Camilla to finally get the vengeance she needed for the death of her son and enables her to go back to Mexico and continue ruling the Cartel. Mel arrived at the lake house with Ben’s goat cookie jar in tow.
From shocking deaths to ultimate betrayals, here's what happens in Ozark's series finale
She'll have to keep on laundering money for the Navarro cartel, though, as part of the deal with the FBI and Camila. But, with the Bureau's official permission, she'll never get in any legal trouble for what she's doing. Jonah could have shot Mel to protect his family, completing the journey that sees him follow in his parents' footsteps. This interpretation also chimes with Ruth's conversation with Jonah's grandfather earlier in the episode where she mentioned him becoming a "little Marty." Charlotte, who has grown up in her mother’s image, seems more than happy to continue her work in the family business and escaped unharmed with the rest of her immediate family. It could be possible that Jonah shoots the cookie jar which contains his uncle Ben's ashes, thus dispersing the evidence of his death.
Marty and Wendy, Still Together
He becomes a key asset in Nathan Davis' attempt to get a court to separate Jonah and Charlotte from their parents, so Marty and Wendy have him taken out. Mundy did want the couple’s cohesion to seem like an outcome each spouse wanted by the finale.

The last time FBI agent Maya Miller appears in Ozark, she's talking to Mel Sattem about the possibility of him returning to Chicago to become a police officer again.
Darlene gave the Byrdes plenty to worry about throughout the series, even in the times where their interests aligned. The unofficial mayor of the area, Jacob Snell held dominion over the Missouri Ozarks with his heroin production business. With his wife Darlene at his side, the Snells entered an uneasy alliance with the Byrdes and the Navarro cartel. The deal was ultimately dissolved due to Darlene intentionally spiking their heroin supply, and it took a lot of doing on Jacob's part to prevent the Navarro cartel from killing her. Because there have been so many deaths in Ozark, and they've all been fairly relevant to the story, it feels apt to recap all the major deaths of the series thus far.
Was it always the intention to go this dark with the character? It’s the really nice thing about TV… You can react to what you see as you go, season-to-season, episode-to-episode.
And so the camera pans to Jonah, standing near the house and aiming a shotgun at their home invader. (Fans will recognize this as a callback to prior seasons, in which Jonah demonstrates his unnerving skill as a sharp-shooter.) In a truly chilling directorial choice, both Marty and Wendy smile with pride. The last shot of the series is of their faces, watching Mel as if daring him to run. The screen goes black, and we hear a single shotgun blast. Before we get to the Byrde family, the big news item coming out of the Ozark finale instead surrounds Ruth Langmore.
