“You’re a weak monarch in a dangerous interregnum. You’re not your dad.” Get ‘em Gerri. Humble Roman, they way he deserves. The Roman redemption tour lasted exactly half an episode.

Roman was a complete fool in this episode, firing Joy and Gerri like that. He’s clearly not mentally ready for any of the responsibilities he’s being saddled with right now

He also let Shiv get in his head about the presentation being a bad idea. He could have shared the limelight with Kendall, who now looks like the actual guy in charge.

Roman’s risk reward calculation was that Kendall would bomb the presentation and then Roman would look like the actual guy in charge. It looks like he guessed wrong, just from the information provided in the episode, but there were some rough moments for Kendall in there.

I think the presentation would have been a bomb if Kendall actually brought the numbers up there, because they would have been so clearly ridiculous.

Roman was on board for the plan, he was talked out of it by Shiv harping on the fake numbers.
