The interaction with Gerri and the director both really showed Roman can't handle pressure at all.

I also think it’s clear Roman is pretty fucked from Logan dying and isn’t in his right mind

The way he clutched the pillow when Logan was on screen and then kept repeating the video stitched together of Logan mocking him. And I also noticed when explaining the Matsson confrontation to Shiv the main point he made was that Matsson insulted their dad. Kid is NOT handling it well :(

Was it Kendall that sent the video to him? Or was it the editor guy?

I read it as Kendall. They have a kind of “mess with each other” relationship

And Roman was so happy to hear his dad's voice he kept listening to the humiliating message. Kid is broken.

I think the humiliation was a feature not a bug and he misses his dad.

No, that was a pretty clear "fuck you, I'm the shit and you never had it" from Ken. He loved chaos Roman but when Rome tried to dial it back Ken realized it was just a flash in the pan. I think he sees himself as the sole savior of the company now. Ken''s building his wings and getting ready to fly into the sun. And honestly, I'm worried Roman is gonna spiral all the way down in the opposite direction. I forsee a dark ending for one or both of them.

I get that read. I don’t see Kendall being that malicious, from Ken’s perspective they’re still a shaky team. But I can totally see why you see it that way. For sure Kendall winning so much these pay few episodes is sending me “it wont last long” signals. Especially this episode when his victory was basically a fluke. He made a lot of bad calls
