[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how I originally read the Greg/Tom scene one way when I thought Tom was going with Shiv, and then knowing Tom went the other way made it deeper. 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. [b]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? [/b] 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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

They didn’t “stick with Kendall.” Kendall wanted no part of it- he just wanted out. He was going along at shivs urging. This was shiv who cajoled her siblings and was the mastermind this time, and she and Roman got defeated[/quote]

They all got defeated. I'm the PP that replied to the bolded - I don't subscribe to the idea that Logan was inclined to tell the kids more. There was no more. He had already gone to a good deal of trouble to cut them out. Shiv and Roman had a chance to still be loyal. If he would have gotten the two of them alone he would have sweet-talked them into trusting him but he already put in motion the altering of their voting positions so no, he wasn't going to offer them "more."

And Kendall's only motivation was not that he wanted to get out. He also wanted revenge on his dad. If he wanted out he wouldn't have said anything about the super majority, which Roman and Shiv were not aware of.[/quote]

Yeah, I agree that Logan was not going to tell them more, and was only going to sweet talk them off the ledge, and that Kendall ultimately was motivated by revenge. However, my point is only that shiv and Roman were “sticking” with Kendall. It wasn’t Kendall’s idea. Kendall ended up in the same position he’d been in, and had nothing to lose, but he and Roman were the ones who backed shiv this time around. So now we’re at a point where all three kids have shown disloyalty to their father, but kendall and shiv in particular have spearheaded the initiatives- roman has not, yet, and will be interesting to see how that plays out for him next season.
