Succession Season 4 Series Finale (Spoilers)

Just finished binge watching the series finale of Succession. Couple of questions the show ended with me asking myself:

1)What is the board's opinion of what ultimately would have happened to Kendall? I just have the feeling that he would have ended up ending his life either intentionally or could unintentionally die from a drug overdose due to not being able to cope with the loss of the company and his role as CEO. Felt sorry for the guy after Shiv screwed him over on the vote (or maybe he didn't deserve it).

2) Due to Shiv leaving with Tom at the end, did she possibly have a behind the scenes deal with Tom and/or Lukas to change her vote that maybe we didn't see? Just felt it was strange how she left with him.

Overall, great show, even though season 3 was kind of slow, but I definitely recommend.
