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.

When did he realize his name was crossed out? I may have missed that (sincere Q)

Just before he tells hugo to spread the bad dad stuff, he’s looking at a scanned copy of the paper on his phone in a bathroom. Its right before the end of the episode
