When Frank said to Kendall ‘you’ve got stuff cooking, you’re well, are you sure you want back in?’- it was an understated moment but a life changing one for Ken- but of course as soon as he felt energised by the suggestion that maybe, at one point his dad wanted him to succeed- he threw himself back into the shark water. To hell with his well-being, his mental health and everything he had been sharing with his sibs. Maybe he’s more like his dad than he would like to admit.
 
Sounded to me that Shiv’s pregnancy wasn’t conceived via sex but using her frozen eggs/embryos? I think Kendall is right, Logan would’ve made that move but that doesn’t make it right!

did anyone catch what Kerry was saying Logan promised her?

That they were talking about getting married. She asked Roman to “check” if there was anything mentioned anywhere about that, presumably to see if he had made any provision for her in the will etc

thank you! i caught something about a note so that makes sense.
 
When Gerri, Frank etc. originally talk about finding the paper, and make ‘joke’ plans to destroy it, don’t they say they won’t let that little princess ruin it? So I presumed it’s crossed out and Kerry’s name was added somehow. There is lots of talk about it being in pencil. But I also made up her being involved in his death last week so maybe I need to pay better attention 😂

I thought it was "little princes" referring to all the Roy kids? I must go back and rewatch the whole thing with subtitles. It's so interesting seeing how Frank, Karl, Geri etc are acting towards the kids now they don't need to be seen to be nice to them.
 
I think I did have subs on… but now I’m not sure 😂 no recap I’ve read has mentioned it. It makes sense though with Kerry saying he was going to write something, and why else would they have discussed getting rid of the letter, then call the kids in to hear it? Who mentioned there being a Kendall twist at the end of episode 4? It totally threw me off the scent of Logan’s death and makes sense now we’ve seen him go behind Roman’s back for the bad dad narrative.
 
I thought underlined. It’s preceded by “my son,” so surely he would have crossed that as well if he did mean to cross it out.

Kerry was desperate to go upstairs…..
(If that’s where that room they were in was 😂)

Goodness, this whole scene was so wonderful. I love the Frank and Ken dynamic. A father figure who actually cares.

I’m going to have to watch this episode again as there was so much whispering! I feel like I missed 30% of what happened.

Greg was rather marvellous this episode: ‘long live the king … and the other king’ 🤣🤣

Logan’s apartment is utterly magnificent. 🤩

I’m erring on the side of crossed out - there were no other names on there, so it’s not like it needed to be underlined for emphasis. And I guess Logan was right to cross K's name out, as within a matter of minutes he had leapt straight to blackmail to throw Logan and Roman under the bus. He's going to become an absolute monster.

I think crossed out as well, which gives Ken the motivation to now kill his Dad (again) post death.

Someone elsewhere managed to capture the text of the letter, amazingly
