I got the sense she was reviewing bad news. Or watching an ultrasound, or something related to the pregnancy, that made her sad, because her family had fallen apart. The specific thing is less important than the fact that Tom came in and then they seemed to flirt with rekindling things, or newly balancing their relationship. |
A poster upthread noted that her phone looked like it had a timer on it, which backs up the idea she was telling the truth to Tom about "scheduling her grief." I think this is one of those things where the characters were being truthful but we're so used to them lying that we can't accept it. |
This episode didn't do it for me. No way are Roman and Kendall truly such enormous buffoons.
I also don't get why Gerri gets so many accolades...she's just a standard frazzled corporate stand-in who hasn't really developed a character. Shiv and Tom though: Wow. Both tremendous actors and an awesome story arc. More of them, please. |
Does everyone here know the actor who plays Tom also played Mr. Darcy like a decade ago?

I know this is all fiction but I really hope this doesn’t happen. Tom is a horrible person but I love McFadden so much and couldn’t stomach it. |
I’ve been disappointed in Geri this season. The writers haven’t given her much to work with. |
I don't get that vibe at all. In fact, I think Tom has steeled himself to take an awful lot. Tom doesn't really lose control. |
Gerri is good at her job, and amazing, and you all can stuff this nonsense (I say that kindly ![]() |
What? Her maneuvering during the CEO shuffle? That speech to Roman in this episode? That speech was awards worthy. |
Um, only since the first moment his piercing blue eyes graced the scene in season 1 episode 1. His range is such a treat. |
I’ll give her that speech. And, I should be more clear: I’ve been disappointed in her dialogue (not her biz maneuvering). I think overall her dialogue was better in previous seasons. |
I’m terribly naive but I hope the ending brings the siblings together, in the absence of their father who always tore them apart. I hope the ending includes them parting ways with both Logan and waystar, but being brought closer together as family. I have enjoyed seeing them get closer this season.
And I hope Shiv can get a fresh start with a family of her own. |
I thought the scene with her and Roman last night was really good though. Also the scenes with Roman in the episode where Logan died. I think it's building to something, too. I think something is going to go down with all the old guard at Waystar -- Geri, Karl, and I guess Frank. This episode had Geri threatening/going toe to toe with Roman, and Karl threatening Kendall. Geri is a successful General Counsel who has no doubt filed away every inappropriate text Roman has ever sent her (including last season's dick pic) and Karl is a CFO who knows where all the financial bodies are buried. If one (or both together) decided they wanted to bury the Roys, they could. I think they are both more likely to simply use this information to get the payout or job they want (neither of them is going to turn whistleblower -- they aren't in it for the ethical superiority), but that doesn't mean they can't twist the screws into the Roy kids if they really want to. |
Your hopefulness is very sweet, but this is definitely not what is going to happen. Brace yourself! |
Poor Roman is so damaged he couldn’t even say the word “hug” in this last episode. I don’t think much good happens to them. |
