Nice bit of karma for her. She stepped all over him all series and he finally snapped.

[@Deriv44]

In that moment Roman and Shiv realized that the people they took for granted no longer had their back Tom and Gerri looking out for themselves first because honestly the Roy kids dint show them the proper respect Shiv tested Tom love for her to many time and Roman dint take Gerri advice seriously about not sending her those pictures and respecting her new relationship

I really love how it seems like even at the end of the road, she's trying to teach him a lesson he didn't learn. She told him multiple times before to prioritize himself and when he teams up with his siblings, it goes against what she was trying to teach him. Fucking superb

She broke his heart. I didnt think I'd feel sorry for Roman, especially after he tried to text her the "item" she specifically asked him no to text. But good for Gerri.

[@katana2k]

Also, she is legally bound to the financial interests of the shareholders. This is a good deal for them, and the roy kids, as shareholders, are about to cash out bigtime. They dont like the deal because they know theyre dead weight and will never get to run the thing. Objectively, they are entitled brats, which makes it much easier to see where gerri and logan are coming from

[@kira-zk6op]

@@katana2k Gerri yes, Logan no, dude is a monster and he is their father.

[@katana2k]

@@kira-zk6op He is a monster, yes, but he has the same fiduciary responsibility as Gerri. If he goes against the shareholders' financial interests, he could be sued and removed as CEO/Chairman. Furthermore, Logan is the largest shareholder in the company. If he hands it over to one of his kids and they tank it, he will go broke. They all would. He has a duty to his family, and the shareholders to either sell the whole thing for a good price, or find a worthy successor. As it stands, the kids really aren't fit. Ken is hard working, but he's a bad leader and not likeable. Shiv is a good leader, but she doesn't work hard and isn't likeable. Roman is likeable, but he's lazy and bad at leadership.

First time in the entire series that I felt bad for Roman. He got played badly, and it cost not only him, but his siblings too.

[@sergiorodriguezbailon6677]

This is sad and really bad reinforcement because the three finally team up and they suffered not only a big lose also Shiv and Roman suffered the treason of Gerri and Tom. Their mom tell it to Shiv about how Logan kick something only to see if comes back and of course this is portrayed like something bad but the kids also are like this. Shiv "kick" Tom many times and Roman did it with Gerri even with Gerri requested Roman to stop it.

[@sergiorodriguezbailon6677]

Also Roman finally stands because Logan offers him an exit and to leave his siblings but he did not took it. And what he learns from that? It didn't work.

I apologize in advance for the person I’m going to become if romangerri doesn’t make a comeback in s4 Because god DAMN this hurt so fucking bad, even if the kids had it coming by repeatedly torpedoing their relationships with the people they were closest with

Kendall was speechless

[@iamatrader666]

Logan cares for his kids. He wants them to all be killers, especially Ken, before he leaves the company in their hands. In order to do so, he knows they all need to unite together and we've seen how they sabotage each other in previous seasons and take Logan's side....but that door of unity opens just a little more. It's another reason why Logan puts up such a good fight, he wants to be beaten by giving it his all and also to prevent his kids, Ken, from f-ing it all up.

[@Lightner445555555555]

His actions prove otherwise.

[@iamatrader666]

@@Lightner445555555555 Well shows not over yet...I made my claim already, I gotta stick with it.

[@jeviosoorishas181]

I think you're close, but missing somethings. I decided to rewatch Season 1 again, and it's really clear looking back that Kendall's the only one of the three that's really capable of being CEO and running the company. Shiv's disinterested in the business but loves power, and Roman is too unserious and disciplined to run the company. Kendall loves the media business and knows everything about it, however, his massive insecurities make it easy for him to be manipulated by outsiders like Lawrence Lee in the first episode. Like we see in season 3, the only way it works (and I agree with you) is that all three of them work together, but it happens too late. The irony of the show going back to Season 1, is that the only person qualified to maintain the family legacy and fortune as the main lead is Marcia Roy...and the reason why is she's the only one in Logan's life who doesn't need him and she's the only one who leaves him, when he tries to play his game with her, as opposed to everyone who sticks around hoping that they'll win. This is something Logan deeply knows even going back to Season 1, and when at the end of the episode when he wants to elevate her status so he can feel that his legacy is somewhat secure and his kids pull a fast one on him, he has a stroke.

[@Judge_Meridian]

He cares for his kids so much he turned them into fucking basket cases.

[@Δ-Δ-Δ-Δ]

[@whywelovefilm7079]

Shiv shouldn’t feel bad. I’m sure her Dad still loved her. I mean, he probably doesn’t “love her,” but I’m sure he still loves her…

[@QuEsT_X]

Season 4 is going to be truly a Shakespearian massacre the kids will decimate everyone .... I've long said this show will end with all the kids dismantling the entire empire to be free of Roy logan & the logan namesake. Shib with her political connections, Roman already said he knows where the bodies are buried, and kendall will more than likely prepare Roman and shiv for what Roy will do to them publicly because remember kendall is the only one who knows what it feels like to endure their fathers fury the others up until this point have avoided it .

If you haven’t watched the show I suggest you watch it all, it’s almost impossible to explain all the context, character beats and background of why this scene hits without literally watching the entire show up until this point

[@roshie187]

The narcisistic toxic dad sold the company off, they all individually wanted to be the ceo of. (They got betrayed by mom/husband/advisor/dad). The dad played toxic favoritism among them and made them think individually they would be ceo at one point. This is explained most simply put. (The husband betrayed by telling the father of the siblings rebelion/stopping the selling from happening- the red haired woman). The blond "advisor" to the dark haired guy wasn't informed by the father who was selling. And all 3 siblings got screwed over by their mom who let the divorce settlement change (in which the 3 siblings had a majority of power of something of that sort) to keep the flat or whatever her new husband enjoyed. (Mother was toxic too). But watch the show!
