The Reason Ozark Fans Are Worried About Jonah

What it comes down to is this: Fans are afraid that young Jonah will try to avenge his uncle's death by taking out the head boss himself.
In a Reddit thread discussing who will die in season 4, Jonah is, unfortunately, gaining traction. One user led off by saying, "My bet's on Jonah." A second user echoed Jonah's possible fate, saying, "I see it being Jonah too. He's gonna go headfirst into something & it go bad fast."
A third user concurred, writing, "Jonah acting irrationally, getting himself killed is a possible angle I can see, since he refuses protection from his parents or goes on a wild goose chase to get some semblance of closure/revenge."
Unexpected deaths can and should be expected in the last chapter of Ozark. That's been the blueprint so far, after all. Jonah taking matters into his own hands is plausible, but killing a drug cartel leader is going to take patience, persistence, and being in the right place at the right time.
Whatever Jonah's fate, season 4 of Ozark is bound to be chaotic, lethal, and tragic. Everyone hopes the Byrde family ends the last season alive and well, but all audiences can do is wait until the final set of episodes hits Netflix. Until then, fans are right to be a little worried about Jonah — or anyone else on the show, for that matter.
