Animal Kingdom Who Killed Baz?

Animal Kingdom Who Killed Baz? Fans of Animal Kingdom were left in disbelief after learning of Baz’s passing. Even though his murderer was identified in the end, Season 2 showed that it was Smurf’s Plan B.

The same year, Animal Kingdom premiered on TNT, and viewers instantly grew fond of the Cody family.

Smurf was the evil mother of Oceanside’s legendary crime family, which included Baz (Scott Speedman), Pope (Shawn Hatosy), Craig (Ben Robson), Deran (Jake Weary), and J (Finn Cole) (Ellen Barkin).

Despite their bad behavior, the Codys managed to win over audiences and carve out a niche in the growing antihero subgenre of popular culture, alongside shows like Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad.

So it’s no wonder some viewers found Season 3’s conclusion involving Baz’s death particularly jarring.

Animal Kingdom Who Killed Baz?

Baz died from wounds he sustained when he was shot multiple times in the chest in the season two finale “Betrayal,” and the season three premiere “The Killing.”

Mia Benitez (Sohvi Rodriguez), a member of Pete Trujillo’s group, is soon exposed as Baz’s murderer.

Mia may have delivered the fatal blow, but she was merely a hired gun for the hit that Smurf had planned on her adopted son.

To make matters even worse, Season 2 revealed that Smurf had an even more tragic plan for carrying it out.

Why Does Smurf Want Baz Dead in Animal Kingdom?

Despite Smurf’s reputation for brutality, many people doubted that she could murder Baz for several reasons.

As a general rule, Smurf always prioritized his family. The second is that Baz used to be Smurf’s most reliable prodigy.

But after Baz stole millions of dollars in cash and jewelry from Smurf’s storage facility, she exacted her vengeance.

Since Baz was adopted, Smurf felt that his familial ties were null and void. Besides, she already had a replacement for Baz in her grandson J.

She was also aware that Baz had abandoned all pretense of commitment to her to make off with her money.

Indeed, Baz had falsely accused her of murder, bringing her to prison, where she now faced a possible life sentence.

Because of her connections to Pete Trujillo and his crew, who she already had J pay to keep her safe in jail, she planned a hit from behind bars. This wasn’t, however, her initial strategy.
