Mom's wedding makes everyone feel a bit abnormal. Shiv wants to "store some embryos" with Tom, Roman is fascinated by Gerri's boyfriend, and Kendall is...oh no.

Inheritance tells us about the history of Logan Roy, enough to let us know that no matter how he abused his children, it is not worse than what he endured as a child. We know that he and his brother Ivan grew up under the care of their uncle Noah. Logan still blames himself for the death of their sister Rose-no matter what happened after him and Ewan, it left many angry red scars on his back.

Logan's scars appeared in the first season of "Austerlitz", in which it was discovered that the Roy family was reunited at the ranch where the eldest son and Connor, the certified black sheep, were reunited. (The reason for the gathering? An interview slashed photo opp aims to increase Waystar's stock through a bit of public home remedies.) During a less fruitful discussion with three naturally depressed children and a Kendall who had just relapsed. After that, we observed Logan swimming circle swimming pool. When he appeared, Marcia wrapped him in a towel—covering the keloids that struck his back like a whip.

I remembered the moment at the end of this Monday episode of "Chianti County", when Kendall was floating face down in the infinity pool. Surrounded by his children, with beer in hand, when he lies on a float in the swimming pool, his back is shining in the sun, lost in this world. When the children entered, the bottle fell from Kendall's hand, and bubbles came out of his nose. Considering the conversation he and Logan had previously shared about Kendall's drowning catering crew, this moment felt ominous.

Did I mention that this is a wedding episode?

To Romain's dismay, Roy's mother—Carolyn Collingwood, aka actress Harriet Walter, aka "Scary Poppins"—is getting married again. On the surface, the suitor she chose was a work with multiple marriages, bad business decisions, and a shady company in her back pocket. Shiv's level of concern hovered around "fuck", but Roman at least wanted to encourage his mother to prepare before marriage when attending her wedding in Italy.

At the same time, Roman is arranging his marriage-Waystar's acquisition of content platform GoJo, which may save the company from obsolescence. Logan pushed the deal to Sandy and Stewy, and they were very angry about it, but they did not object to the deal. Shiv may still feel underestimated and chose to play around with the dog and watch Food Network at this week's board meeting.

Any party that attracts so many Roy is destined to break out of the impossible entanglement of social dysfunction and neurosis, and Roy's mother's wedding is no exception.

Kendall brought his assistant Comfrey-he reminded him of a new podcast about "The Curse of Royce" and the mysterious death of the catering supplier. It didn't take long before he was kicked out of the wedding—"Where the fuck did my kid go?"—just came back, confronted Logan, and insisted that they meet for dinner. There seems to be no "L". Leaving "OG"

Perhaps the only person who really had fun at this wedding was Greg-he seized the opportunity to flirt with Comfrey, and then tried to impress other women "casually" with his $40,000 watch. Tom and Schiff remembered the chemistry by making fun of how absurd he was, and a brief flash of friendship before they resumed their usual dance as the most embarrassing couple. In most cases, Shiv just wanted to avoid her mother's "dagger house" interrogation.

"How is your marriage going," she sneered. "Will you have children?" Husband's reply? "How is your marriage? Do you want children?" We like weddings, don't we?

In the end, Caroline did catch up with her daughter, who had had a depressing conversation on another topic that hurt more over the years. Caroline blamed Shiv for "choosing" her father at her famous autonomous age of 13, Shiv blamed her mother...well, you know, everything.

Unlike Logan, who couldn't bear the failure of facing her father, Caroline finally relented. She said that maybe she was a terrible mother-but Shiv was right not to have children, she added, because she wouldn't either. Just like that, Tom's desire for children is more attractive to his previously reluctant wife.

It turns out that Logan did choose to join Kendall for dinner. (In any case, after letting his grandson Iverson taste his poison.) Kendall is ready to accept his father’s offer to buy him from Waystar Royco, but as their mother told Shiv earlier , Logan's favorite hobby is to kick everything he likes and see what he will crawl back. So he cancelled this proposal.

When Logan summoned the children to Conner's place in New Mexico for a little public relations settlement, it turned out that he was the least capable of handling the matter. He exploded when the blunt declaration of "everything" he had done for the child exploded in the room, and the therapist asked for more. But the anger in his voice seemed to betray something more fragile: fear.

"I will apologize as much as possible," Logan said. "But I can't go deep into it all."

Kendall smoked methamphetamine and later diagnosed his father in the episode: "You fucking jealous of what you gave to your children." When his father whispered that he would never speak to the uncle who raised him, Kendall began to laugh at him: "What would the evil Uncle Noah do?"

The moment he rushed to Kendall's face and called him "Nobody Fuck", when his son now called him "evil", Logan's darkest side appeared.

"You are my son," Logan said. "I tried my best. When you messed up, I cleaned up your shit. And I'm the bad guy? Fuck off, kid."

Another fascinating ending: In that episode of season 1, Connor asked Willa to move in as the news approached to legalize their relationship. This week, he proposed to her-in the classic Willa moment, she managed to make it look like she said yes, while politely asking for some time to consider the idea. Beats are clearly popular; this is where Shiv ends up on the baby problem. Why do you decide to have a baby now when you can "store some embryos" and decide later? At the same time, she and Tom may be trying to figure out their swear words; he doesn't seem to like being told how out-of-group she is.

However, if someone’s sex life is under the microscope this week, it’s...you guessed it, our favorite slime puppy.

In addition to trying to ensure that his mother does not waste family wealth on a gold prospector, Roman also spent time this week with GoJo to facilitate the deal. As the tech tycoon Lucas Mattson, Alexander Skarsgard is basically Elon Musk's style-quirky, unpredictable, and easy-to-tense action. When Mattson turned the acquisition of his company into an equal merger, Roman seemed to give up almost immediately—until he noticed that his father might be really interested.

Once he sold the meeting room in the transaction, Roman would get the best prize a nepotism baby could ask for: a compliment from Dad and Gerry, who recently asked him not to send her so many pictures of dicks. Unfortunately, the ecstasy of success entered Roman's mind-and he refused to listen to Gerry's voice, which made him very angry. In order to send the penis photo to his potential lover, Roman accidentally sent it to his father.

The supreme "Shiv" moment? Examining a photo that clearly depicts her brother's penis, then gloomily confirms what we already know: "Yes, this is his penis."

Perhaps this is just another error in one of Logan Roy's many failures. Or, it may be a self-destructive subconscious behavior.

Regardless of Kendall's fate after the bleak ending of this week's episode, it seems unlikely that he will fight for the family crown in the short term. We can pretend that Shiv is still running, but if this season's apparent misogyny has taught us anything, then don't bet too much on this possibility. (Although this is said, it seems unlikely that Shiv will use her influence on the post-Gerri dickgate to end the game.) There is only one choice left, because for God's sake, it cannot be Connor.

Roman is happy to pretend that he is the darkest and most distorted Roy-"Don't open Pandora's box," he warned, "There are more guys out there." But the youngest Roy boy was constantly uncomfortable. Language tells another story; perhaps, his sister described it as his "ricotta cheese" this week. Part of Roman apparently wanted to inherit the family inheritance. The question is whether he can withstand the scars that follow. If he learned one thing from Kendall and Logan, it was how fast they spread.
