Never happy Endings
Episode 12 opens up with Jonah picking up a hungover Charlotte. They head to the county jail and bail out Marty and Wendy after Marty assaulted a man. The Byrde family knows how to be there for each other in the worst of times. Wendy continues justifying to Marty about keeping Camila engaged when they get home, but Marty does not feel it is sustainable. Wendy expresses that she's not easy to love and gives Marty the blessing that he can leave her when this is all over. This felt like intense manipulation by Wendy. We see this at the end of the episode, too - the whole "I'm not easy to love" mantra. Meanwhile, Mel tells Nathan that Ben was with a Mexican cartel man when he disappeared. He believes it is linked to Marty and Wendy as the FBI got involved with them for money laundering. Ruth and Rachel meet Charles Wilkes to make a business deal with him. He reckons he can clear Ruth's criminal record with a judge as most of them are juvenile cases. Rachel thinks Ruth needs to make herself clean as it's a great opportunity. Ruth meets the judge and does her best to remain polite and well-mannered. She claims she gave up crime when her father died. The judge offers to help, but she wants to scour her records first and do a drop-in visit. You can see it in her eyes - the drop-in visit terrifies Ruth. It feels too personal for her. At the midway point of episode 12, Wendy and Marty manage to find a way to reinstate Mel Sattem at Chicago PD. If he rejoins, he will miss the court date set for Nathan's petition. Mel is furious that the Byrde family is manipulating him, but they tell him that he's reached the end of his investigation. Feeling conflicted, Mel speaks to Agent Maya for advice. She tells Mel that he will hate himself if he takes the Chicago PD reinstatement. Agent Maya rings Marty and Wendy and accuses them of trying to screw with Mel's life. The ending sees Wendy's actions lead to the breakdown of the family. Her demise is slow but worth watching as we know what she's willing to do to manipulate people.
Jonah and Charlotte tell their parents they are going with their grandfather. Jonah and Charlotte say that they are tired of their mother and that she rigs everything. Charlotte references what Marty told her - that Wendy controls everything. A desperate and unhinged Wendy begs her father, Nathan, not to take her children away.
