Roman’s nihilism is on full display when Kendall strides in to goad him back to work. Caroline warns, however, that Rome is “very fragile.” Sure enough, when Shiv arrives she finds her brother in a striped tee and shorts with stitches on his head. Kendall, who has now acquired a “New Jess,” has learned of Roman’s whereabouts and will also fly to the Caribbean.

Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook), and Roman (Kieran Culkin) regroup. When she asks him, “Are you interested in a real relationship?” Tom says, “Honest to God, I don’t know, Shiv.”

Because it would be convenient if so-you know, for scheduling reasons. Is there anything else left in their marriage? she asks. She says she’s trying to help him (sike!) then clumsily switches topics to their relationship. On the plane, she hops on a call with Tom, who is still fretting about whether he’ll get fired. Shiv flies out to meet him, not really to comfort her brother but to campaign for his support. Shiv’s mother, Caroline, calls from the Caribbean and revealing that Roman is with her. She’s so eager for CEO that she’s ready to throw her estranged husband out with the trash, telling Matsson he’s “highly interchangeable.” But Matsson already appears less enthusiastic. As she and Matsson prep, she floats the future of Tom’s role. She thinks she has Stewy’s vote as well as a few others Kendall thought he secured. Nevertheless, he assures his advisor Tellis “I fucking got this.” He’s trying to rally his allies for the board vote, but can he wrangle them all in by tomorrow’s meeting? He doesn’t even know where Roman stands, let alone where he is after he got beat up at a protest the night before. The episode begins with Kendall arriving to the office excited (perhaps he listened to more rap in the car ride in), until he learns he doesn’t have Stewy’s support. Kendall and Roman want to sabotage the deal, but Roman doesn’t know yet that Ken wants to go “reverse Viking” (as in Waystar acquires GoJo instead and Kendall rules as sole CEO.) CEO of the conglomerate if the deal goes through. Shiv is pro-GoJo, teaming with Lukas Matsson and expecting to be named the U.S. We entered season 4, episode 10, “With Open Eyes” expecting a showdown between Roy siblings at the board meeting on GoJo’s acquisition of Waystar Royco.
