Plot summary
The Roys attend the premiere of Willa's play, and Kendall seduces Jennifer, one of the actresses. The next day, the Roy children record video messages for Waystar's 50th anniversary, which will be celebrated in Logan's hometown of Dundee, Scotland. On the plane to Scotland, the Roys learn that a disgruntled former employee is planning to blow the whistle on the cruises scandal.
In Dundee, Shiv confronts Rhea, accusing her of trying to take over the company. While Logan is away, Marcia passive-aggressively indicates to Rhea that she knows of her affair with Logan. During a family meeting, Shiv enlists the aid of her siblings to sabotage Rhea by making her look bad to Logan. Kendall, meanwhile, has Jennifer flown out to Dundee, despite Connor's protests that Willa needs her in New York for her play.
While touring the newly dedicated Logan Roy School of Journalism, Kendall admits to Rhea that he isn't genuinely working against her. Rhea suggests that Kendall is Logan's most likely successor. Ewan arrives in Dundee and gives Greg an ultimatum: either quit working for Logan, or lose Ewan's $250 million inheritance. Shiv struggles to convince her brothers to work with her against Rhea.
Rhea has arranged an elaborate gala celebrating Logan's 50 years at the company, surprising Logan with a crowd of hundreds of guests. Logan and Shiv agree to a "truce" for the night. Shiv meets with Gerri, Hugo, Cyd, Frank, and Karolina, who inform her that the whistleblower will not accept a cash settlement of any amount to withdraw his statement. Shiv decides not to concern her father with the details of the scandal during his celebration.
During the night's events, Kendall goes on stage, reveals a custom "Roy 50" baseball jersey, and performs a full rap song about Logan's prowess and achievements, leaving most of the crowd flabbergasted and Logan himself in a state of muted fury. He later has Jennifer sent home after she comes across as awkward and shallow when he introduces her to Logan. Roman and Eduard Asgarov tell Logan they have purchased him the Hearts football club as a gift, only to be reminded that Logan in fact supports their rival Hibs. Shiv realizes that Rhea will have to bear the brunt of the cruises scandal if she becomes CEO and tells Logan to make the decision he feels is best.
Logan makes a speech announcing that Rhea will be CEO. Marcia, feeling betrayed that Logan did not tell her beforehand, leaves the event. As Logan prepares to unveil his plaque commemorating his 50 years at the company, Ewan confronts his brother, warning him that he will face a reckoning for his actions, before Logan finds the plaque has been dedicated to their mother rather than himself.
