Matsson is up, Kendall is down, and entering the charts for the very first time is a very sleepy robot.
, Logan takes Kendall aside to give him a little advice: In the end, what matters most in negotiation is who has the bigger dick. Kendall, who ditched the Vaulter negotiations for his father’s birthday party, looked weak. It doesn’t matter how many advanced degrees you have if you look weak.’s argument is that any real success in business is mostly tied to dumb luck and a willingness to seem like a sociopath.
Does Tom pull out of freefall? Yes. By the end of the episode, he has learned that even though ATN is selling to GoJo, his name isn’t on the list of proposed cuts. He lives to fight another day, and he and Shiv are talking about getting dinner. Plus he’s maybe, probably, going to be a dad, even if he doesn’t know it yet. Do I know why Tom pulled out of freefall? Not really. He mostly embarasses himself on the Norway trip, trying too hard to fit in with the GoJo gang.
Shiv: It was good. I mean, it was boring, but he’s very conventionally attractive. He’s broad. I used to think you were broad, but compared to him, you’re wiry. You’re like a fucking spelunker.They’re all, like, lumberjacks and Olympians. Truly, Scandinavia is sending its best! Speaking of …Sweeping outdoor vistas! Aerial trams! Beautiful saunas! Lush mountain trails! I’ve never been to Norway, but this episode convinced me that I need to book a trip immediately.
Also: “Quad squad” is kind of a cute nickname, and Kendall, Roman, and Shiv should be honored to be in said squad with Greg, who is on the smallest of upswings.We get but a single cutaway scene with Connor and Willa, who have been left behind in Manhattan to line up Logan’s funeral, even as Connor’s upset he can’t be out there campaigning in the battleground states. Nevertheless, he’s going to do this job justice. He says he’ll “go in the embalming room and throw my weight around.
The scene serves as a synecdoche for the many, many people who will lose their jobs because of this merger, the majority of whom won’t be able to afford it. The working and middle classes exist on the extreme periphery of, but the show always knows they’re there, and while the Roys and Matsson play games, real lives are caught in the middle. Were I a betting girl, I’d say this idea will move closer to the show’s center as the series wraps.
