Like now Tom is married to Greg. And while Tom has at times been mean to Greg, he did totally offer to take the jail fall for him and so really HAS totally been the only one in the family to look out for him. Kendall pretended to but ultimately sold him out.

I also thought it was interesting how Logan wanted Kendall to leave at the beginning of the discussion. Would Logan have shared more of his real plans with Roman and Shiv if Kendall hadn’t been there, so the takeover would seem less dire? I mean, you KNOW Logan is not really ceding full control of his company, right, and has some ultimate plan to take it back? Would he have shared it if Kendall wasn’t there so Roman and Shiv would have willingly gone along?

Poor Roman. He lost the most here. Feel bad for him the most because he was almost human comforting Kendall and everything. The GoJo guy liked him, though, so I wonder if he is really as out as the other two.

That was a divide and conquer strategy. I don't think there are any more "real" plans other than what was revealed. Logan gets buckets of money and some enduring company presence because his name's on the building. If the kids would have gone with him they might have been thrown a bone/given a token role. Kendall is totally out and by sticking with Kendall they assured that they are also out.

Shiv is a terrible person and I don't feel bad for her, but she is really in a bad place.

I think you are wrong about this because 1. Logan says he always wins and he means it; and 2. This wasn’t the series finale. There is a next season, and I don’t think that’s just going to be about the kids starting their own businesses and skaarsgard living happily ever after wtf. I think Logan met the GoJo guy, took his measure, and thinks he can deal this his way somehow. I understand what you are saying re divide and conquer with Kendall, sure (and at first I thought that was all that was going on, also). But this is Logan, and I don’t think he is just rolling over and effectively dying at the end of Season 3. That doesn’t seem like Logan and Season 4 is more fun if he doesn’t.

I'm on the fence. Although I feel for their upbringing, with zero parental love and acceptance, their entitlement and lack of capability are so off-putting I'm not sure I mind seeing Logan win. He may be a despicable human being, but he's the one with the business chops and he earned it. And they're only marginally less awful.

Yet she chose Tom over Kendall on the yacht. Bad choice, Shiv!

Is Logan really trying to have a kid with Kerry? Since he’s dismissed the other kids, he needs a replacement.

I thought Shiv holding her abdomen in shock was interesting at the end.

The butter knife bit, “I’m the oldest son,” with Con was great. He’s completely neutered, no threat, just like a butter knife.

Monopoly cheating was illustrative. Tom being the dog playing piece was perfect.

The acting from last night was phenomenal.

I think perhaps Kerry is trying to have a kid with Logan.

Speaking of kids, I loved the scene where Logan was disgusted by the book he was reading to his grandson and requested one with more action.

The book was Goodbye, Mog – about a beloved cat dying. I can’t imagine anything LESS likely to appeal to Logan.

The book was about death, and the kid chose it because his dad has just tried to commit suicide. Logan is only there with them because the family is rallying because of the suicide attempt.

Tom doesn’t know that Shiv saw Logan pat him and thank him.

Wonder what state their marriage will be in in Season 4. Would Logan gaf about Tom if he was divorced from Shiv? Will Shiv pretend she doesn’t know Tom betrayed her until she can give him the shiv (ha)? Will she be more turned on if he has more power than her? Will Shiv be his new Greg?

I loved the Greg switch up. They made him such a blubbering idiot all season and last night he was intelligent, handsome, a winner.

Are you mad? Greg has lost his marbles--griping with Greenpeace, thinking he has a chance with a Contessa--he is way too big for his britches. The Roys have done a number on him. He's corrupted.

Logan is always repelled by weakness even in kids.

No Greg is just becoming a Roy. THey all think they are better than they really are. He's having some success and believing in himself. THe question is will he fully go to the dark side or will his conscience bring him back?

Having Kendall bounce back from his breakdown in 30 seconds was stupid. This season had a few good moments, most of them during Kendall’s birthday party, but ultimately it was very bad. The writing was just poor.

Fundamentally, I just don’t get why these siblings are so obsessed with the idea of taking over this company when they are so obviously not qualified or capable. I know they want to prove themselves to their dad and stuff but I don’t get why him handing them a public company would do that. You would think they would be off trying to do their own thing.

This episode did help me understand that the reason they have such large stakes in the company in the first place is their parent’s divorce. That makes sense - she negotiated that part of her half be in their names. Otherwise I doubt he would have handed them so much control.

Any lawyers on know if it's possible to actually renegotiate the terms of the agreement so long after the divorce took place, in a manner which would substantially negatively affect adult children? It just seemed too easy, but I'm not a lawyer, so what do I know?

Classic male narc, plus the “supply” of women and scorn for daughter.
