But along the way in S4, some scenes where the Byrdes were going to offer up Queen Omar to the FBI. Next, Marty visits Queenie and Omar alludes to cutting Javi out entirely, giving him up.
From there it's muddled as as to whether Queen Oman really is giving up Javi or it's Omans own little deceit game and he's faking like he's giving up Javi.
Anyway ya one of if not the major complaints of the S4 writing is the endless switching of allegiances.
Myself from what i have read the main writer and producer Chris Mundy is who let it fall apart.
Speculating that this being his 1st big hit, all the attention and money went to his head and f'd him up.
Late S3 and S4 has several well written eps. Mundy was not the writer of any of them.
Just one of many closure failures was not getting to watch Queen Omar or Javi get it shoved up their asses mentally. About the only scene where someone righteously told Queen Omar to go f himself was agent Maya. During the private airplane breakfast, where Queen Omar played the rude condescending for the umpteenth time. Maya told him unless you're willing to do time and a bunch of other stuff go F yourself. Soo overdue on this show.
Ditto Princess Javi. Having Ruthie off him with just a few quick shots -not satisfying at all. When Princess Javi was gun slapping Marty and denigrating him and about to kill him, rather then a phone call from Queen Omar to save Marty......
I would have written Jim Rattelsdorf coming up behind Javi and thumping his head with a metal candle holder. Next, Marty and Jim tying him up and telling him what a true he is. Next best would be Ruthie giving him a dressing down Ruth style.
Ya I never have looked to see if any DBs did a deep dive back when this was running.
Can tell yourself and ST pretty much saw enough and are done with it.
