[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just heard a new theory on a podcast that is amazing:

[i]Together[/i] Logan and Kendall hatched this plan. Why? Earlier in the episode Logan learned the shareholders would only accept him as the fall guy. By providing this chaos, Logan has to exit but the company and the kids are protected and he gets to continue to run things from the side.[/quote]

Pretty smart - the Jiang Zemin notion of wielding power behind the scenes in retirement.

[b]That said, why did Logan and Kendall have the tete-a-tete on the boat where Logan says Kendall is "not a killer?" That conversation was wholly unnecessary if Kendall and Logan were truly scheming as equal partners. [/b]

I think you're right about the call from the shareholders: Logan knew his time was up and would need to play out the chess match many moves ahead. He didn't know how it work until he met with the entire team. Logan then spent the entire trip purposely abusing and manipulating Kendall in order to build resentment: tells him that the Pierce girl is a druggie; humiliates Kendall by kicking the Pierce girl off the boat; and then further humiliates Kendall by forcing him to take the fall and saying he's "not a killer." He was psychologically abusing Kendall in order to convince Kendall to stab him in the back.

In the end, Kendall is being manipulated. But Logan needs Kendall to have plausible deniability to make this work. [/quote]

Exactly this is why Logan and Kendall didn't hatch the plan.  Maybe Ken and Shiv or Ken alone.  [/quote]
