At the end of the last episode, Kendall was riding high, finally, officially, in the position he’s always felt he was entitled to. What a difference a day makes. Caught in the same trap as Roman, Kendall comes up with a different answer. Instead of trying to do what he thinks his father would want him to do, he tries acting more like Logan himself. This, of course, backfires badly. Kendall will never be Logan. He didn’t want this deal from the start, and he’s tried to tank it on multiple occasions. Now that he’s finally sitting in the big chair, he has more reason than ever to hold onto the company. But his clumsy efforts to make the company look bad in Norway raise Matsson’s suspicions that he’s trying to “Scooby-Doo” him, and then Roman gives the game away. If Kendall were smart he’d have realized he was looking at a win-win scenario. Either Matsson walks and they get to keep the company, or Matsson offers a huge price and they get a nice payout. So why does it still feel like they lost?
