Note sull'episodio
The Roys fly to Washington after whistleblower James Weissel goes on national television detailing the cruise-line cover-up, naming the late operator "Mo" and implicating Gerri, Tom, and Kendall. The Senate fast-tracks hearings while Logan sends Roman, Karl, and a banker to Turkey to court Azerbaijani billionaire Eduard Asgarov for the capital to take Waystar private. The plan to scapegoat Bill Lockheart collapses when a real victim, Kira, surfaces as a witness. Tom panics on the stand and denies knowing Greg, Logan deflects everything onto Kendall, and Kendall counterattacks Senator Gil Eavis instead of folding. Shiv talks Kira out of testifying using the company's own silencing playbook, the Turkey deal freezes mid-pitch when anti-corruption militia seize the hotel, and Rhea quits as CEO.
This is the episode where the cover-up surfaces in public record and the Roys' escape options close one by one. You'll understand how the subpoenaed-boxes scheme from last episode lands in evidence, why Bill Lockheart stops being a viable scapegoat, what the Turkey play was meant to accomplish, and why Logan tells Shiv on the way home that the shareholders need a sacrifice from inside the family — the setup that drives the finale.
