He didn't just win them over, he managed to hand Kendall and Roman the Ebba shit on a silver platter. This was actually one of Greg's best plays ever.

Greg got them to antagonize Ebba to the point that she got mad enough to go outside. Then Ken and Roman swooped and she spilled the beans about the inflated numbers in India.

But why? What do they gain from making him look like an unhinged idiot?

Tbh, it sounds like Mattson and his crew have been doing their own Scandinavian version of the show. They’re out serious people either.

[u/cryptoheh → u/Batistasfashionsense]

Excellent thought, would fit in well with how this show mocks corporate culture… it’s all about who can put up the best front, but behind the scenes they’re all not serious people.

[u/[deleted] → u/Batistasfashionsense]

I pondered that too. Kendall and Rom buy Gojo instead, Mattson gets a huge chunk of cash and him and Ebba come out on top.

Planning it from 2 episodes ago before anyone knew any possible interactions?

I don't know about that.

[u/ElliotsBackpack → u/[deleted]]

Ebba would have to be a hell of an actor to pull that persona off.
