Do they crownJeryd Mencken, the conservative Republican nightmare who promises to kill Waystarsdeal with GoJo?
Thats not to say Logan wasnt wielding some influence behind the scenes but certainly not this openly.
He was also very clear about wanting theGoJo deal to go throughwhile retaining ownership of ATN.
Roman
Roman is certain Logan would have called the race in Menckens favor.
This is great for Roman and, as he sees it, the web link.
Considering the leverage their relationship gives him, Roman could even end up running the whole operation.
Roman has good reason to believe his dad would agree with him.
(We back the talent!)
When the president, a.k.a.
The president decided not to pursue another term largely because of the narrative Logan helped create.
But his fathers death has pushed him to fully embrace his nihilist tendencies.
Nothing matters, Ken.
Dads dead, and the countrys just a big pussy waiting to get fucked.
Shiv
Would Logan have agreed that literally nothing matters?
Logan was more of a traditionalist than Roman and usually less impetuous.
The old man was old-school and had at least some respect for the way journalism and democracy work.
And while Logan might have initially wanted to tell the FBI to fuck off, he didnt.
Neither of them is totally wrong about their dad, but neither is totally right either.
Kendall
Ironically, Kendall is the Roy sibling who indisputably does exactly what Dad would do.
Kendall, who says he honestly doesnt know how his dad would act on this particularly fraught Election Night.
Kendall, who is still wrestling with whether his name wasunderlined or crossed out.
Because I fucking win.
These two sentences also explain why Kendall goes for Mencken: It works as a business move.
Logan could always be counted on to disregard his childrens feelings, and Kendall does that here.
Its a lie that, when said out loud more than once, sounds true.
Before their rift, Kendall asks Shiv if he has been a good father.
Maybe, Kendall posits, the poison drips through.
But ultimately, Kendall is the one doing exactly what Dad would do.
The poison and the denial does drip through.
Kendall has finally proven heishis fathers son: exactly the kind of dad Logan always was.
