It was a wake-up call to the kids, showing them how much their parents love them, and how much they need each other. Watch Jonah's reaction as they hold each other after crawling out of the vehicle. He was keeping his emotions under wraps in the last half-season, but he picked up a lot of his dad's quiet patience.
Did you miss the scene where Ruth holds him up at gunpoint after getting him drunk?
Just wait for her brother to start following his father's example. Very dumb. But yeah, overall it's a fun one.
Halfway through season 4 now, and I totally get what you're saying. Very annoying though, to make the son seem like he thinks he's tough all of a sudden and grew a pair, after never having them before, made no sense. Still very cringeworthy to see both Wendy & Marty not know how to ever be parents. I keep thinking to myself, yeah, if I talked like that to my parents back in the day, the belt would be coming out, and it would serve me right...so I keep rooting for that to happen, ha.
I'd imagine Rachel (who returned to the series and became business partners with Ruth) would likely take over laundering for the cartel - however I'd think Navarro's sister Camila would be more comfortable with Marty/Wendy since they are more experienced and are trusted by the cartel.
