She is a moron, so that makes sense.

If only she had offered Greg? something more than empty threats.

that producer faked rubbing his eyes with Greg?'s bodega sushi wasabi so he didn't have to embarrass himself on tv, right?

Agreed, because he did ask to be let on air after they called the race, so it’s not like he was totally unwilling.

That moment with Rom, damn. His face as he was listening to his uncle talk about how tough his upbringing was....really well done.

Ken is full Logan now. I like it.

Look at what happened with Mencken. Kendall gets completely neutered there. Kendall will not, nor any of his siblings, ever be Logan. He is not suddenly some genius mastermind. He’s doing what he thinks his father would do. To give him more credit than that is to overlook what the show has been telling us about these people for four seasons.

well, yeah of course i meant it more in the full dark mode.

I loved what the series did in that scene with Mencken were Ken and Rom had the very same importance than Con or Greg?

Yeah, that was great.

I also loved when Caroline gathered all the ex-wives and girlfriends together and it turned into a weirdly touching and sweet moment when they were comforting each other.

The Power Rankings keep fluctuating wildly, but I'll be surprised if there's a clear "winner" at the end. At least among the main players. I could see the Karls and Franks of the world ending up right where they want to be; kicking back on a beach sippin' Mai Tais.

Tonight's the night.

What's interesting is that I really have no idea where it could end, in part because it's kind of a different show than I'm used to. It's not like a lot of other shows in that the characters really aren't capable of some sort of redemption or revelation. I love them, but they're not serious people.

But they're also not so evil that I feel some sort of retribution would be justified. Sopranos these are not. Let's be honest, they're a negative force in the world but really they're just nepo babies who nominally run a cable channel.

And just wrapping up storylines doesn't feel like it could possibly be satisfactory. We've already seen every combination of these characters betray each other, every character hit a low, hit a high.

So I don't know what tonight could entail, but I'm excited for it.

Prediction
Spoiler: show
Tom gets it. American CEO. Matsson thinks he can control him. Mencken thinks Tom was the one who called it for him. Roy siblings all lose the game
