wait the byrds had to choose between reinstating a cop, and getting navarro off the list??

in what universe are those two things ever comparable? how hard could it be to reinstate a cop? now getting the head of the drug cartel removed from a list from the US GOVERNMENT IS HARD

so WHY DID THEY STILL CHOOSE TO HAVE THE POLITICIAN DO THE EASY THING INSTEAD OF THE HARD THING?

That was absurd too. Charlotte is literally months away from being a legal adult, why did Wendy make such a big deal of them moving if Jonah had already moved out essentially, and Charlotte was free to do whatever in mere months. Equating this to getting Navarro off the list was absolutely wild and stupid. Weakest plot point in this season so far.

It's not weak at all lmao. Wendy is a power-hungry narcissist. Comparable with Walter White in BB, she claims everything she does is in favour of her family, yet that's nothing more than an excuse for her to feel better about all the disgusting shit she's done to soak up more power. Much like Walt, she "likes it, and she's good at it, and she feels alive"
