Kendall’s guilt doesn’t seem to go wrong, but it’s slowly building up. For his part, Shiv looks like he is the chosen successor, but eventually Roman ends up imposing himself in his fickle temperament rich boy and troubled mind.

Although, ultimately, the same attitude is the reason he went back to the starting line with his father: when he made the mistake of sending a picture of his penis to his mobile thinking he sent it to Gerri. This mistake, Shiv’s mistakes, and Kendall’s challenges they ended up convincing the patriarch that none of them were really willing to take power by Waystar Royco.
