By Reed Gaudens
Ozark has officially come to an end, and many fans have had differing opinions about how the series finale wrapped up the stories for some of our favorite characters. Unfortunately, lots of characters didn’t make it out of Ozark season 4 part 2 alive.
The final episodes of the series pick up in the aftermath of the explosive Ozark season 4 part 1 ending, which found Ruth out for revenge following the killing of a dear loved one.
Once again, Ozark delivers plenty of twists and turns throughout the seven final episodes, which includes a reunion with a former main character so many more huge moments. But most fans were probably most concerned about Ruth’s fate in the series finale.
WARNING: Major spoilers from Ozark season 4 part 2 ahead!
Does Ruth die in Ozark season 4 part 2?
Sadly, Ruth dies in Ozark season 4 part 2. Julia Garner’s Emmy-winning character, who was one of the biggest fan-favorite characters of the series, gets killed in the final episode of the series, just moments before the series ends.
By far, Ruth’s death is the biggest of the final season, bringing a tragic character who had been surrounded by tragedy to a very tragic conclusion. All around, there’s just a lot of tragedy for Ruth, and the majority of fans probably aren’t too pleased with her death.
Why does Ruth die in Ozark season 4 part 2?
Because Ruth followed through with her intention to kill Javi for murdering Wyatt, she ends up on the wrong end of Camila’s gun. Ruth’s own revenge mission made her the target of a different revenge mission. It’s an eye for an eye, but we didn’t want to see this eye.
A mixture of bad luck and questionable choices ultimately contributed to Ruth’s demise, but that’s a more philosophical way of looking at her death. It’s a shame that the series didn’t allow Ruth to rise above her circumstances and survive her family’s (for lack of a better word) curse.
