I actually don't remember this all too clearly. Did Logan yell at the kid about something minor at the wedding and then Kendell felt bad for the kid and started chatting him up and eventually got drugs from him? I don't even remember the drugs they did. I vaguely recall he asked for blow and the kid didn't have any so they did ketamine instead.


Watched all the episodes over the past 2 weeks. Logan bitched at the kid and fired him. Kendall didn’t feel bad for him, he was just trying to find some coke and noticed the kid smoking a joint outside by his car. The kid said he knew someone but he bought Ketamine instead because Kendall wasn’t specific about coke, he just said “powder”. Kendall didn’t do the ketamine, which is why he started driving to car to go meet someone else the kid knew for some coke

Fantastic show btw, don’t know why there isn’t more hype around it

Greg practicing his recording in the bathroom. Haha

Shiv got played. I actually feel bad for Kendall now. That actor nails that role.

Another great episode.

Pretty good insight with their relationship with their mother. She only views her children in a transactional way. Makes you realize why they are so fricked up.

The Greg and Tom dynamic is one of the best parts of the show. I was pulling for Greg but now, given Greg's duplicity, I may be more inclined to be pro-Tom.

Is Logan playing Rhea or is Rhea playing Logan? Rhea's motivation is obvious and that along with her current dependency leads me to believe Logan is using her.

That's an excellent question and goes to the brilliance of this show.

Often they don't allow the viewer to be privy to the entire conversation between two characters and leave it to you to discern what was said.

Last night we heard Rhea say she might be able to help Logan with his Shiv issue. And that's all we were allowed to hear.

We then see Rhea meeting with Shiv and proposing a position with Pierce. We think she's doing this on her own without Logan's knowledge. Four scenes later we discover Logan knew exactly how Rhea was going to handle Shiv.

It really works well

Good question. While it seems to the children like Rhea is playing Logan, I think he knows that there’s nothing like a common enemy to pull the kids together and get them fighting for control of the company. He needs a unified family right now, and Rhea is serving it to him on a platter while being motivated by her own self-interest.

I got the sense that she treats them that way after years of them not visiting and siding with their father.

If I had to guess it would be Logan playing Rhea. Logan acts very different around her than he does with anyone else. Hes actually been somewhat nice, not all intimidating and not a raging a-hole. Granted we don’t know how Rhea acts amongst other people so we don’t have much to compare

Kendall in the dead kid’s kitchen was legitimately riveting television. It was almost too painful to watch.

Oh, Rhea is a conniving ho and Logan is easily P whipped. Rhea is barely in Logan’s orbit and she’s already casting doubts about all of his children as successors. And just like that she take out Shiv. One down, two to go.

Greg and Tom are the best couple on TV.

Exactly

It was hard to watch Kendall at the dead kids house, then he wants his mommy, she stiff arms him then jets with a sharpie note written on cardboard

Forgot about when Greg and Tom first go get the files from Greg's office
"ooohhh secret, not top secret... It says receipts, but they’re not, in fact, receipts! Greg, you’re a criminal mastermind. What polyglot genius could ever hope to crack your impenetrable code?”

She did that on Logan's behalf and with his full knowledge.
