Kendall and the pool: It turns out Kendall was drowning and not merely hitting rock bottom or testing his father’s theory about how long it took for the kid in the car to die.
The GoJo situation: The siblings decided to leverage their power and work together to stop the sale of the company by defying Logan as a group, which they’ve seemingly never done, and certainly never about anything important.
The cheeseball stands alone: But one man seems to be sitting pretty, and has maintained his precious position as a favored ally of Logan: Tom, who — it appears — tipped off Logan about the coming coup in time for Logan to maneuver with Caroline to stop it.
What was this season about?: This season did have a narrative after all: It was about Kendall starting off with grand hopes of leading a coup against his father, losing hope to the point where he nearly died, and only then finding the support that he had wanted so badly.
In the season premiere, he wanted to impress Rava with his big press conference, but instead, she wound up enraged by the carelessness of his girlfriend, Naomi.
Now, he has the strangest possible redemption: His confession to his siblings is an enormous weight off his shoulders that he never thought he would feel, and working in tandem with them revitalizes him to the point where at the end, even though he’s down, he is the one who looks like he is not out.

But ultimately, he took confidential information she gave to him and used it against her in the way that would pain her the most, and two wrongs do not make a right.
But while they originally seemed to be doing a fairly tame “Greg has two dates” story at Caroline’s wedding, this episode uncovered the ugliest, most grasping, most unfeeling parts of this kid who can sometimes feel like a relatively harmless doofus.
It was also noteworthy that Roman was genuinely wounded when Gerri made it clear that she was not going to intervene on his behalf, because it wasn’t in her own interests.
It’s hard not to, in some ways, “root” for Kendall in the sense that Logan is the Big Bad of this show, the one who seems invincible, and Kendall has spent an entire season seeing his efforts fizzle.
She’s also always been a little paranoid, in that she’s always been the one fretting that they would lose the company, that she was going to get cheated or pushed out or deprived of her due.
On the other hand, Connor is trying to become president, and that puts him in a position to do at least as much damage as, say, Roman would do running a sports betting site for his dad.
