The Underlining Tension
17 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The underlining tension between; Frank, Karl, Karolina, Gerri, Tom against Roman, Shiv and Kendall is intoxicating. Logan was the net of safety, now the vultures are circling and the firm is the elephant in the room.

Logan's 'Will' with Kendall's name on it clearly woke him up with sudden ego to possibly become above and beyond again as CEO. The last line towards Hugo "Or do you want me to get the strap-on?" encapsulates the inner father in Kendall. Those sounded like Logan's words and thus the power play is back in motion. Bringing Roman on board but leaving out Shiv further elaborates the situation. Shiv has never been able to catch a break because she's a woman, (women don't make good business partners? Is that what they are saying?) it reminds me of the mafia in a way, where men are the ones who rule the family. It's like alienation and i actually feel sorry for her.

A change in motion but the power is always there, Logan might be gone but his ego flows through his family like a curse. It never really went away. Kendall has a chance to change, but something tells me he's just going to end up like his father.

An episode on character.
