Episode notes
The morning after Kendall is pulled from the villa pool, his siblings stage an intervention he dismisses as an accident before pivoting to the larger crisis: Logan has slipped away to meet GoJo CEO Lukas Matsson, who proposes a full reversal — his company buys Waystar outright, Logan exits with a settlement. Logan declines but stays to negotiate, and Roman returns to the wedding with that information. At the reception, Kendall breaks down and confesses to Shiv and Roman that he was responsible for the death of Andrew Dodds, the waiter who drowned at Shiv's wedding years ago. The siblings regroup and identify a supermajority clause from Logan and Caroline's divorce that would give them veto power over any change of company control. They confront Logan at his villa, but Caroline calls in to reveal she and Logan have already renegotiated that settlement — the veto is gone. Tom, whom Shiv had briefed on the plan without accounting for his place in it, arrives at the villa to a warm greeting from Logan.
This episode is the season finale and the hinge on which the entire series turns. Watching it through the recap, you will understand how the siblings' one structural weapon was neutralized before they could use it, why Kendall's confession lands differently than any other moment of vulnerability the show has offered, and what Tom's decision to tip off Logan reveals about what the marriage had already become before the final scene confirms it.
