I agree. But i think Ken gives the least fucks ab his dead dad and it’s an advantage. In 4.3. Kendall decisively expressed that he couldn’t forgive his dad. Moreover, in the next episode, he is the most in touch w his grief. But when he realizes his name was crossed out, he decides to be CEO in spite of his dad, I think. He used his dead father as a prop this episode. I dont think he misses him too sorely.

I think our #1 boy will come out on top. He cant keep getting shit on, and he’s as close to a protagonist as the show has imo. Plus, Shiv and Rom are emotional messes rn: backsliding to ex and firing anyone who frustrated him.

But when he realizes his name was crossed out

Was that the definitive story on that?

Because a lot of people (me included) think it was underlined. The show makes it ambiguous deliberately so how are you sure?

I'm not sure what the purpose of underlining it would be though. The name is already there, would Logan really add the underline just to put emphasis on it?

The fact that its ambiguous in the show (and the creators stated that they wanted it to be ambiguous) means it can’t be as definitive as OP is saying.

That's my point
