Yes! He was so good in this episode, his best appearance yet. Skarsgard does such a good job of walking that line of cartoon and killer.
Not sure who the winner is at the end of this episode. Mattson seems to be over-paying but Roman can't say no to the deal, as much as he obviously wants to. I'd say props to Mattson for identifying the weak point (Shiv) but I'm not sure what he got out of it. I'm leaning toward the whole blood-sending story as false, but maybe I'm misreading that

It's so hard to tell with Mattson! Are Kendall and Roman right that he's just a card trick? A coder who more or less stumbled into being a billionaire? Or is he an evil genius, a Logan Roy? It might be that he's playing Shiv in some way, but I don't see what he's getting out of it. Her advice was offer a lot more money and that's what he did. Umm, ok. Shiv thinks she's allying herself with the new power of the company, but that's sure to blow up

Apparently one of the Swedes called Greg?? a "2 meter tall Hapsburg" when they found out he was related to the Roys.

Somewhat endearing that the kids knew Greg?? was getting mocked without knowing what was being said so they initiated a confrontation

Another stellar episode. I'm not even sure who I'm rooting for, if anyone, but Roman telling off Madsen was very satisfying to watch.

Greg? really brought his A-game this week. Smart of him to begin to transition from the "Disgusting Brothers" to the "Quad Squad". Loved his excitement at being given a task by Kendall. The way he squeezed Kendall's arm before walking away made me lol.

I was surprised when I saw Greg? on the tarmac. How did he get onto Mattson's list? Then of course it turns out he was not on the list, he just came.

I’m sure he just has access to Tom’s calendar.
