S3E7 · Too Much Birthday

Waystar's senior management learn that the Department of Justice investigation is weakening and will likely end in a settlement. Tom is immensely relieved to no longer be facing the threat of incarceration, destroying Greg’s office in the process; nonetheless, Logan discreetly tells him he will remember his offer to go to prison. Logan then pivots to his planned acquisition of streaming giant GoJo, but discovers that its founder and CEO Lukas Matsson has declined to meet with him personally. Shiv and Roman offer to meet with Matsson at Kendall's 40th birthday that night. Logan sends Roman along with a gift for Kendall.

Roman, Shiv, and Connor arrive at Kendall's extravagant party, teeming with high-profile guests and featuring "immersive theater" exhibits such as a large-scale replica of his mother's birth canal. Roman hands Kendall his "gift", which is simply a note from Logan reading "CASH OUT AND FUCK OFF", along with a proposal to buy out his shares in Waystar. Shiv is upset to learn that Roman is a beneficiary in the buyout agreement whereas she is not. Kendall is upset to learn that Shiv and Roman are only there to meet Matsson, and he bans them from entering the party's VIP zone—a giant replica of his childhood treehouse—where the asocial Matsson has sequestered himself.

Kendall encounters his ex-wife Rava at the party; tension develops when she tells him that Waystar has been sending men to harass her and the children, encouraged by Roman (but opposed by Shiv). Kendall is surprised when Rava says that his children have sent him a gift, and he becomes fixated on tracking it down in a pile of gifts from other guests. He becomes embarrassed by the party's lavish excess and backs out of a planned onstage performance.

Roman, meanwhile, forces his way into the treehouse to meet with Matsson about an acquisition of his company, the streaming service GoJo. Roman suggests that Matsson would never have to report directly to Logan—whom Matsson personally despises—and additionally offers to discontinue StarGo, Waystar's antiquated and poorly functioning streaming service. Matsson expresses interest and agrees to continue discussions later in the week. Roman treats the meeting as a success and mocks Shiv for being sidelined from the negotiations.

Greg works up the courage to ask Comfry out on a date, despite being forbidden by a spiteful Kendall. Comfry accepts, exasperated by Kendall's eccentric demands. Greg is elated, provoking resentment from a drug-addled Tom, who is not enjoying the party and remains unhappy despite avoiding prison. Kendall, anxiously searching for his children's gift with Naomi's help, breaks down crying and asks to go home. While leaving, he lashes out at his three siblings; a drunken Roman viciously mocks him and shoves him to the ground. Kendall returns to his apartment despondent, and Naomi comforts him.
