The Roys have a history of casually wielding their wealth to dehumanize and abuse those poorer than them (remember the million-dollar check at the baseball game in the very first episode). Next thing you know, a homeless man has "KR" tattooed on his forehead. Roman remembers Kendall's bachelor party, when he and his brother's friends one-upped each other with the craziest stunt they could think of. And Logan's collapse is a reminder of that all this mess started because the old lion's health is more precarious than he'd ever admit. It looks like the family in-fighting could lose them the company. Logan's spite and inability to back down coupled with Kendall's inability to take control of a situation open the door for business rival Stewey to swoop in (literally). "Maybe he's the best one of all of them." Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong are so good in the moment of silence that follows.īut while they end up hiking a trail together, Logan and Kendall are definitely not on the same path. "He's a good kid and I love him," Logan says. And Logan's apparently heartfelt tribute to Kendall takes everyone by surprise.

"You think I'm a dipshit who got lucky at the casino," he tells the Roy boys, but, "You work for the shareholders, you work for me… I have a gun at your head." Played by Oscar-winner Adrien Brody, Aronson looks like a homeless guy (more on that in a moment), aside from the fact he's standing in the middle of his own private island. We immediately get a sense of his importance: Logan is a man who threatens presidents, but how many people in the entire world could prompt the combative media mogul to scurry over cap in hand? Then episode 4 introduces Josh Aronson, a new character who's presence lobs a hand grenade under the boardroom table. A few new characters have sidled in during the previous episodes, but no-one has really shaken things up. The second looming problem, the shareholder meeting, finally introduces the first of season 3's big guest stars. The fact Logan has to buttercup Greg shows that even Logan the great and powerful still needs others on his side, as much as it pains him. Even Logan shows a moment of exasperated sympathy, relaxing his usual coiled menace just enough to explain to Greg what could be left unsaid by smoother operators. He's worried about "Goons, stooges and roughjacks," and can't even manage a business-casual drink without looking like a rube (jeez Greg, watch an episode of Mad Men, I beg you). This is a big moment for the hapless country cousin, and even he recognizes the significance of the meeting. In fact, Logan must be getting desperate: He actually calls Greg. The cracks are showing as everyone realizes they have some leverage.
