That would be some Arrested Development level stuff.

PS - I listened to the HBO podcast for this episode on which Brian Cox states that this season, each episode represents 1 day so with 10 episodes the entire season takes place over the course of 10 days.

Yes leave a $10billion company to a 20 something year old who is not very bright, that's a good way to turn it into a $0 company.

But that's what the grandfather would want. He hates the company. He hates his brother.

He also hates his grandson. He disinherited him and is donating the money to Greenpeace (and Greg plans to sue them for defamation... or something.)

Yes, it's a great scene. He tells Tom he is going to sue because Greenpeace when his grandfather dies (because his lawyer said he cannot sue before Ewan dies). and then Tom responds, who's next? Save the Children?

It would be hilarious. I don't think Ewan hates Greg, he's just super grumpy with a grudge against his brother and is super set in his ways. You never know.

Yet he sided with his brother when Kendall was planning the first coup.

They said they would name someone at the next board meeting. When will that be?

Because he said family first. and Greg is his family. Who knows, it would be funny though.

The acting. Wow,

+1
I was actually moved to tears. So incredibly poignant. Especially Kendall. He breaks my heart.

I believe the next episode will cover the maneuvering before the board meeting. The meeting was mentioned in this episode. I think Gerri said the kids could be excused "under the circumstances." But I don't think they are going to stay away.

In interviews, Brian Cox has said that the season covers 10 consecutive days with each episode being one day.

Yes. That was posted up thread. There are 10 episodes so the season takes place over 10 days.

He's clearly in that moment projecting his own insecurity (when he may actually realize how screwed he could be), but Kerry also played this ambiguously. Frank et. al. are clearly icing her out, but they were also moving to ice out the kids. I will be interested how Kerry's role unfolds in the coming episodes.

I think Kerry’s gone bro.

I 100% thought that the death was a huge hoax by Logan - that he was testing his kids to see how they would react to his death and what they would say to him in those last minutes. I fully expected him to walk into the boat and make some awful, disparaging remarks to them, after humiliating them. Glad that didn’t happen - that would have just been too cruel.

I was especially moved by both Kendall and Tom in this episode. Tom was so kind to Shiv.

The dialogue is getting weaker and weaker - so many f*cks peppering the conversation. It’s beyond old and strikes me as lazy.

I found Tom fascinating in this episode because I think he genuinely felt for Shiv in that moment, but I also think his kindness was at least 30% him realizing that with Logan dead, Shiv is his only real lifeline. Without her, he’s all the way out.

And I love how there were thematic parallels between that situation and Connor/Willa, with Connor straight up asking Willa if she was just in it fir the money and her getting very honest that the money is absolutely a big part of it for her.

I think the dialogue was very f**k heavy in this episode because everyone was in shock and didn’t know what to say, and people get kind of dumb in that situation. It’s realistic— people don’t give eloquent speeches in this situation. They can’t really process their feelings fast enough.

Alan Ruck was so great in this episode. I think he gets an Emmy nom for supporting actor.
