In a display of virile rage that shows he’s far from done in this world, Logan busts down the contractor’s price, inviting him to sue. Logan summons the contractor, who he believes placed those racoons there out of pique at him putting a cap on his price for works on the house. Eventually, it’s traced to the chimney, from which workmen recover rotting raccoons stuffed up there. “Like the cheesemonger died and left his dick in the brie”, says Logan. Photograph: HBOĮveryone complains about the dreadful smell in the house – the stink of metaphor, perhaps. But Kendall faces an awkward meeting with Roman and Shiv, who verbally tear what’s left of him to pieces for pulling out of the deal they have no idea why he did it and all he can offer in return is the line handed to him about his dad’s plan being better.Ī rare touching moment. There, Kendall is taken aside by Colin, Logan’s man, and assured that the UK coroner will return a verdict of death by misadventure on the accident, with “no indicators of any other individual”. What now? A gathering at the big old family house. “In five years you’ll be in the mega-toilet.”
Tech has him by the throat his beloved old media are on the decline. Or face a vicious fight lasting years, that will drain all your resources. “How much do I have to fucking pay you to say something?” All right, advises the banker sell. Logan holds a meeting with his banker, and in a recurring motif in this episode, complains about his lack of forthrightness. Near-broken, Kendall discreetly inquires of Karolina, one of Waystar Royco’s legal team, if, despite his intention to detoxify, she could put out a contact for some drugs “I need a straightener.” Eventually, it’s Greg who stops by with a pitiful bag of cocaine he has acquired from the park “you’re giving me park coke?” groans Kendall, vowing to make Greg eat his septum if it falls off. At this moment, however, Logan has never looked more composed. Kendall eventually tells Logan that Stewy and Sandy consider Logan unstable, not entirely logic-driven, aware of his history of erratic incidents and likely to crack. “Here he is, Mr Potato Head, my plastic adversary.” He seeks to debrief his son, a word which carries hints of double meanings as he laces his queries with taunts at Kendall for his would-be betrayal. ‘You’re giving me park coke?!’īack in New York, Logan welcomes back Kendall as his reluctantly prodigal son shuffles cadaverously into his office.

Tom and Shiv, meanwhile, watching from their honeymoon boat, can’t help but notice what a sweaty, unshaven shambles Kendall looks.

Remember that this family is so close, they once sang “You’re So Beautiful” together.Roman (Kieran Culkin) and Gerri (J. Between Hakeem’s whining and Cookie’s hostile takeover (drink!), Jamal’s so frustrated with the family that he kicks everyone out of the house for betraying his father, punctuating his anger with some minor crying and some purposeful walking into a different room. He’s also feuding with Hakeem, who thinks Jamal is blocking the littlest Lyon’s album release. (Do album sales even matter anymore?) But when Jamal’s boyfriend puts together an LGBT party and headliner Miss Lawrence asks Jamal to perform a duet, Jamal declines, hoping that a donation to GLAAD will make up for his absence. He’s not performing live often enough to boost sales, as this record was evidently placed in a time machine and released in 1997. Having taken over Empire, Jamal - suddenly a multi-tasking workaholic - is so busy with business affairs that his album has dropped to #22 on the charts. What the heck happened with them this week?
