Greg confides to Kendall his fear regarding the legal ramifications of exposing the cruises documents. Kendall reassures him that he will not be implicated. Greg then receives a threatening phone call from Tom demanding to know where the papers are; Greg feigns ignorance but reports Shiv arriving to meet Kendall. Tom decides not to disclose this to Logan, who is growing increasingly paranoid and demanding to know everyone's whereabouts.

Shiv and Roman sequentially arrive at Rava's apartment to meet with him. Kendall takes a pause to meet with Lisa upstairs; she warns that they need to prepare for an impending subpoena, and asks to review all the copies he has of the company documents. The siblings go to Kendall's daughter's bedroom to talk privately, where Connor joins them; Kendall cites both Waystar's declining cultural relevance as well as the company's historic complicity in sexual misconduct as arguments in his favor, but his siblings remain unconvinced.

Kendall excuses himself to meet with Stewy and Sandi Furness (Sandy's daughter) in a car outside. Sandi puts her father on the phone; Kendall proposes to the three of them that they back him, arguing that Logan would sideline them despite offering them board seats, and suggesting that together they can avoid a contested shareholder vote.

In Rava's living room, Shiv, Roman, and Connor all agree that the three of them backing Kendall would ensure Logan's downfall. Kendall returns from his meeting with Stewy and Sandi and reports that they agreed to back down from the proxy vote and reach a settlement with Kendall's side. Shiv expresses concern that the power vacuum left by Logan's removal would jeopardize the family's chances of retaining control over the company at the upcoming shareholder vote; Kendall proposes that he become CEO, prompting immediate disagreement from the others.

Shiv and Roman separately go to the rooftop to make phone calls to Tom and Gerri respectively, and both report Kendall's proposal. Shiv admits to Tom that her inexperience at the company challenges the viability of her becoming CEO. Gerri suggests to Roman that he and all his siblings stand to lose from voting Logan out of the company, warning that the family may not have control over who chooses a successor. Back downstairs, the siblings are unsettled to find a box of doughnuts delivered to them by Logan, indicating that he knows they are meeting with Kendall. Connor, Shiv, and Roman all ultimately decide to back out of Kendall's offer and remain aligned with Logan. Kendall becomes enraged and lashes out at each of his siblings as they leave.

Confused whether to take legal counsel from Kendall or Waystar, Greg goes to meet with Ewan, who hires his personal attorney Roger Pugh to represent Greg. Pugh, who holds anticapitalist leanings, hints that he and Ewan want to exploit Greg's insider position at Waystar for their own benefit.

Logan, meanwhile, has Marcia flown in to Sarajevo, his legal team having advised that the two publicly appear reconciled. Marcia, feeling betrayed and humiliated over Logan's affair with Rhea, makes several demands from the company to ensure her cooperation: namely, her role in the family trust finalized, job security for her son, financial compensation for her daughter, and hefty improvements to her own financial position.

Logan decides to return to New York to maintain family unity, and lands the following morning. In the car, he offers Shiv the title of President at Waystar. Shiv believes the position to be meaningless, but Logan says she will be his "eyes and ears" inside the company, assuring her she is under complete legal protection while Gerri is acting CEO.
