* This is probably just a (somewhat glaring) continuity error, but: when Wendy and Ben arrive at the diner, it's at the end of their second day on the road, and as we later find out, they're somewhere in Eastern Kentucky. Wendy calls to notify Nelson of Ben's location; up until this point he had no idea what direction they were headed in, and in fact was thrown off by a decoy planted in the wrong direction (Kansas City). So how's Nelson able to show up just in time for Ben to figure out something's off?

** In season one, Jacob mentioned how difficult it was moving his heroin across land as his men were more likely to get pulled over. It seemed like he was speaking from experience, which was why he started shipping it down the river. Since police are almost as likely to have boats as cars, he might've run into problems there as well. The river church made things easier and he wanted to keep it that way.

*** I think this is the most likely explanation. Clare is a PunchClockVillain. Her company causes more deaths than any of the criminal enterprises in the show, something she fully accepts, yet she's squeamish about murder when it's right in her face. She knows the Byrds personally, and they're standing right next to her, looking her in the eyes as she holds their lives in her hands. Naming them would be tantamount to killing them herself, and she can't bring herself to do it even though protecting them puts her in some amount of risk.

** Or you just roll with the fact they are stock characters: the lethally stupid(ly proud) HillbillyHorrors. Like large portions of the show, they aren't to be taken serious, but as part of the narrative itself. Plot taking place in the Ozarks? What you gonna put there? Well, your choices are low-life rednecks (Langmores), overconfident hillbilly mafia (Snells) and incompetent sheriff turning blind eye (Nix). They are not real people in real situation, just like the cartel is nothing like a real cartel. What they are is bunch of stock characters that happen to be entertaining to watch, preferably with BellisariosMaxim in mind. The moment you start thinking about consequences, the show should have ended in 20 minuts, with Marty being shot and his body dumped into a barrel or on second episode, shot by Langmores. Entertaining, isn't it?

It is entirely possible he was told while surrounded by other cartel killers, men who would kill Helen and him. You would want the bodyguard to do it as a way to prove the guard's loyalty and to prevent the guard from resenting you for killing his charge.

The Belle is where she started leaving her past behind her and her history of being a mere grunt by setting up the high roller game and other high profile upper management duties.
