Thanks to Kieran Culkin's deeply human performance, it can be easy to forget just how awful of a person Roman actually is. But he's not the only sibling left demolished by Shiv's choice. Ripping that away from him is a fitting punishment, seeing as he's wealthy enough that he'll never face any real accountability for his crimes, including his involvement in the death of a young waiter at Shiv's wedding. Though, he clearly doesn't really understand what "this" is, he just knows desperately that he believes he's entitled to doing it. As he tells Shiv in the episode, "this" is all he can do. A man defined by his own arrogance and self belief, Kendall has always felt that the crown belonged to him and he's committed more back stabbing than Ghostface to manifest it. While it might have looked like he was about to finally become king of the castle, at the last moment Kendall had his dreams demolished by Shiv voting to push through the GoJo deal. It's a choice that leaves Shiv's power-hungry and often beleaguered husband, Tom (Matthew Macfadyen), as the CEO of the combined new company, meaning he was the one to truly succeed Logan. That plan blows up, though, when Shiv has the tie-breaking vote and decides to vote to sell rather than let Kendall rule it all with an iron fist like their father.
After a season filled with ridiculous and convoluted betrayal, installing a literal Nazi as president via their news network, and the death of their father, the Roy kids Shiv (Sarah Snook), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Kendall (Jeremy Strong) came together to try and block a sale of their family's legacy media company, Waystar Royco, to Lucas Mattson (Alexander Skarsgård) and his upstart Swedish tech empire, GoJo. The finale hinged - as far too many important events in human history do - on a board meeting and the vote of its members.
