[@JohnWarosa999]

The filmmakers have a lot of steady shots like that throughout the series. Many of the steady shots are there to convey the seriousness of a situation, while other steady shots, like this one, makes the viewers focus even more and tries to prepare them for what's about to happen.

[@simplyrowen]

Because at this time in the show, she had a good work opportunity working for an opposing politician (which would have embarrassed Logan), so Logan offered her the keys to the realm to keep her from working for this guy. She got tired of the empty promises, so she felt it was a power move to get it out there, so now he’d have the pressure to make it real. But she miscalculated. It’s Logan we are talking about. He doesn’t care to make good on things he says. He only cares to come on top. He wasn’t planning to ever do it, even if she didn’t embarrass him during the dinner. It was never going to happen.

She’s saying Potempkin Pillage, Potempkin meaning having a false or deceptive appearance, especially one presented for the purpose of propaganda. Pillage meaning to rob a (place) using violence, especially in wartime. So what Rhea is saying to Nan sarcastically (I think) is that the acquisition that Logan is dealing with is fake or not really happening. That's why Shiv reacted the way she did after Rhea says it.
