ok ill frame the beginning for ya
- the byrdes started the Byrd Family Foundation. a fund to take in money and then leverage it to buy off politicians. wendys goal is to be the most powerful family in the midwest
- in order to get power, they are looking to get 5 key players from 5 key states to join their board. the hardest to get is schafer from illinois. a republican who hates wendy since she campaigned against him for a democrat in the far past before the ozark days of crime
- in order to get schafer, they need 150 million. so their goal is to sell opium to clare shaw and save clare 300mm dollars. clare would then donate half of that to the foundation. with 150mm of money to buy elections, they hope to get schafer to join their board
- since marty works for the navaroo cartel. they will use navaroo opium to sell to clare
- crazy darlene is also growing opium against the wishes of the cartel who told her to stop in season 3
so thats the framework for where tou are at. drama will insue between the fbi, omar navarro, his nephew javier navarro, the kansas city mobb, and darlene
