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.

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?

What success? None of this makes him intelligent, handsome, or a winner. He used to be an actual human being. Now he's just shaped like one.

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.

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.

Logan is always repelled by weakness even in kids.

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

If I were Shiv, I'd change my last name and never speak to my father again.

What about this:

Kerry gets pregnant. The three sibs are then 'conner'ed' meaning they are now yesterday's news. Logan dies. Marcia inherits Logan's shares. The new battle for control is between Marcia, Kerry, Sibs, Old Guard (Gerri, etc + Tom)

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?

+1. I had that same question last night.

Maybe it was Connor or Greg that told Logan, not Tom??

I was actually thinking Connor because of his outburst, then Willa connecting with Kerry and getting the dirt on the semen-boosting strategy. yuck

Intriguing, but I think it was Tom.

IANAL but my DH is - complex financial litigation, not family law, though. We were talking about this and he thinks all Caroline would need to agree to is to not contest whatever Logan is going to do. The kids who would benefit can’t usually sue to make her contest it.

Seeing the writer/director discussion after the episode it is clear it was Tom!!

Also, loved Roman going to Gerri for help at the end and Gerri, in true Gerri fashion, said, “but what’s in it for me?” And can’t believe Roman is shocked by that and thought their loyalties went further.

Gerri is also the only one who mentioned, and almost the only one who EVER mentions, the shareholders.

I was thinking the same. At the very least, the kids could tie up the deal in litigation and kill the deal.

This. And I think we got all the details we are going to get on that, but it's also possible/likely that the divorce agreement was not some standard agreement that would be filed in family court, but had a lot of pieces and complexity to it. Even so, I find it a little too neat and a bit far-fetched that their mother could alter the kids' status on the corporate board now that the kids are all adults.

It will be interesting to see if Skaarsgard is a series regular in Season 4. I also feel like we have not seen the last of Stewy and Sandy by a long shot.

Connor and Greg weren’t included. Connor is from first wife and Greg only got the barest of details.

Interesting exploration of some easter eggs that foretold Tom's betrayal here:

But as a previous poster stated, in what world would any of these dopey kids have thought they had the skills or experience to run the company? It's a tale of families and betrayal, not business.
