Plot summary
On the day of Shiv and Tom's wedding, the family gathers for photos while Kendall and Stewy sequester themselves away to finalize the announcement of their takeover bid for Waystar RoyCo. Kendall delivers the official documents to Logan, confirming that it is indeed a bear hug. Logan is furious and kicks Kendall out of his room, but begins scrambling to get ahead of the situation with his legal team immediately afterwards.
Prior to the reception, Roman excuses himself to the restroom to watch the live broadcast of a Japanese satellite launch, which Logan had placed under his responsibility. However, the rocket explodes on the launchpad. Roman later feigns surprise when Gerri confronts him about it. Meanwhile, Connor informs Willa that he intends to run for President of the United States. A stressed Logan joins the crowd amidst his legal crisis, and angrily fires a young waiter for spilling champagne on his arm. The waiter is immediately met with an NDA and cash settlement.
The wedding reception begins that night and the Roys give their speeches for Shiv and Tom. Logan gathers his children to another room to inform them of Kendall's takeover bid, infuriating all of them. Kendall arrives soon after and confirms his plans, trying to fend off the anger of his siblings. Afterwards, he repeatedly asks Stewy for cocaine, but Stewy declines in order to preserve Kendall's focus for the night.
Roman is relieved to learn from Gerri that no one died in the rocket explosion. Connor announces his presidential ambitions to his siblings. Kendall runs into Greg outside the castle, who reveals that he kept copies of the documents pertaining to crimes on Waystar's cruises and uses them as leverage to request a better position within the company. Kendall is impressed and agrees to Greg's wishes. Shiv and Tom return to their bedroom, where Shiv confides to Tom that she feels she is better suited for a non-monogamous relationship, and admits her affair with Nate. Tom forgives her but ejects Nate from the wedding.
Kendall wanders outside the castle searching for drugs and runs into Andrew "Doddy" Dodds, the waiter whom Logan had fired earlier. The waiter does ketamine and offers some to Kendall, but Kendall insists he needs some coke instead. Since Dodds feels unfit to drive, Kendall offers to drive to his contact to procure the coke. As they approach a bridge, a deer appears on the road. A startled Dodd reaches out and grabs the steering wheel, landing the car in the water below. Unable to save Dodds from drowning, Kendall flees the scene and returns to the wedding in shock. Having lost his key card in the crash, he breaks into his own bedroom, showers, and rejoins the crowd on the dance floor to keep up appearances with his family.
The police investigate the case the following morning and recover Kendall's key card at the crash site. Logan concocts a cover story suggesting that Dodds stole Kendall's key card, but privately tells Kendall he knows he is responsible. Logan promises to make the case go away if Kendall calls off the takeover and attends rehab. Kendall obliges and breaks down crying in his father's arms.
