But despite overcoming their mutual distrust and realizing that they can't really trust their father, he still may have outmaneuvered them.ĬORNISH: So this is kind of a Shakespearian drama in a way - right? - the idea of the king, so to speak, and who does he leave the family business to. Now, the biggest development here is that the three siblings most involved in the business - that's Kendall, Roman and Shiv Roy - they banded together to try and stop their father from selling the company to this Elon Musk-style tech entrepreneur. And Jeremy Strong delivers these amazing performances, including last night when he revealed to his siblings that he accidentally killed someone, and their father, Logan Roy, played by Brian Cox, covered it up. His status as the one child of this family who's been most completely shortchanged by his father makes him really unique to the story. And I knew that Kendall likely wouldn't die. Tell us what happened.ĭEGGANS: Well, as you said, spoiler alert.
