So- I hear it referred to as "the murder" a lot- but I honestly don't remember Ken murdering the caterer.  The caterer was driving and he was high on ketamine.  Ken saw that he was about to hit a deer or something, and grabbed the wheel to swerve (or was Ken driving and the caterer grabbed the wheel to swerve?  Doesn't really matter to be honest, it was an honest accident by two really impaired individuals who made a decision to drive off in a car together at night time).  The car went in the water.  Ken escaped, and DOVE DOWN TO TRY TO HELP THE CATERER, but couldn't get him out, and realized he was dead.  So then instead of calling the British equivalent of  911 (which, let's be honest, was not going to save his life!) he ran back to the hotel and tried to cover up his involvement in the accident.

At WORST it is like a hit and run where the victim is 10000% dead at the scene, and it was a true accident where both parties and neither party were really to blame, and the driver did not stick around.  I cannot see how it could be considered a murder. The only reason Ken feels that it is a murder, is because of his massive guilt complex around his drug use. [/quote]

Kendall was driving but the caterer grabbed the wheel and steered the car into the water. It was the caterer's fault.[/quote]

Kendall didn't tell anyone and didn't try to get help immediately because he was high and would have been in trouble.[/quote]

Yes, but that still isn't a murder.[/quote]

Isn't it illegal to leave the scene of a vehicular accident like that in most jurisdictions without reporting it?  Whether or not it's technically murder, I think he broke the law and he knows it, and it's something that was both immoral and that would get in the way of him being in charge of the whole company.

How the other kids fighting for control could let this sit out there for so long without raising it against Kendall now that he seems to be assuming the reigns -- even though it would be unsibling-like behavior, I'm pretty sure we're meant to understand these siblings are so needful of power and craven that they will do almost anything -- is a weird thing I don't understand, unless it's being saved for the finale.

Did it sound like the Swede was suggesting that Shiv get rid of the baby because she wouldn't have time, and Shiv did a little distraction dance of how negligent of a mother she'd be so that she could both be CEO and a mom?  Wonder whether the Swede might come back to that and insist on it just to torture her, because he enjoys playing games like that (and Shiv would explain to Tom that she's getting rid of it at Swede's request, additional bonus torture for Tom).

It seemed like Kendall was being pretty tough on Roman at the end.  I thought it was interesting that he wasn't giving Roman a tough time for having messed up the eulogy (family obligation), but for having messed up the deal with Mencken so they had no bargaining power left (work obligation), and he was going in on him pretty hard after he was already having a tough time.  His jerkiness did remind me of Logan -- he wants what he wants whenever and at whatever cost.

Maybe the poison drips down, indeed.  [b]And Kendall wants custody of his kids?  [/b][/quote]

NP here. Because he always wants "to win". Like Logan. He had his 1st wife put in the mental institution to get rid of her so he could marry Caroline and then he paid off Caroline when he divorced her just so he could keep the kids. [/quote]
