Plot summary

En route to Connor's wedding, Roman receives a call from Logan, who—despite having told Connor he would attend the wedding—is about to board a plane with most of Waystar's management (except Gerri and Hugo) to meet with Matsson. Logan tells Roman to fire Gerri for mishandling the cruises scandal. While boarding the plane, Logan tells Tom that Cyd will also be fired. On arrival at the wedding yacht, Roman reluctantly gives Gerri the news. She responds with muted anger, believing that Roman's unwanted sexual advances towards her are responsible for her dismissal. Roman calls Logan and leaves an angry, expletive-laden voicemail expressing his frustration with Logan for manipulating him. Kendall and Shiv arrive on the yacht; Shiv, who is ignoring Tom's phone calls, is tasked by Kendall and Roman with telling Connor that Logan will not be attending the wedding.

While Shiv is away, Roman gets a call from Tom revealing that Logan has suddenly become gravely ill and is receiving CPR on the plane. Tom places his phone by Logan's ear to give the panicking Kendall and Roman a chance to say goodbye to their dying father. Kendall goes to find Shiv, and when he returns with her, Roman tells the two that Logan's heart has stopped and he is not breathing. Shiv immediately breaks down crying, but Roman tells her to speak to Logan in case he can still hear her.

When asked for his honest opinion, Frank privately tells Kendall over the phone that he believes Logan has died. Meanwhile, senior executives on the plane plan a timeline for releasing the news of Logan's death, knowing that the news will impact the market significantly. Tom privately calls Greg to relay the news, and orders him to discreetly delete certain files on his computer and stick close to Cyd. Tom stresses to Greg the importance of keeping the news secret until the markets close, but asks him to make it known that Tom was by Logan's side when he died. He admits to Greg that he is "not okay" and cries after hanging up.

As the realization that their father is dead begins to sink in, the siblings go to inform Connor, who is emotionally numb to the news and says he believes Logan never even liked him. Connor goes to see Willa to discuss calling off the wedding. Hugo and Gerri are briefed on the situation, and Hugo informs the grieving siblings that a statement on Logan's passing is being drafted by Karolina, but the siblings cannot agree on whether this is a good idea. Kendall asserts that their next actions must be unimpeachable, as whatever they do will form part of a historic narrative, and that their "freedom of movement" must be preserved. The siblings decide they will issue a statement themselves ahead of the board meeting the next day, during which the future of the company's leadership will be decided.

Connor and Willa ultimately decide to continue with the wedding in front of just a handful of guests. The other siblings leave the boat and are flown out to Teterboro Airport, where the plane lands and Logan is pronounced dead on arrival. Press reporters swarm, and Shiv reads them the siblings' statement on Logan's death and adds that she and her brothers plan to "be there" as the company moves forward. Roman sees that Waystar's stock price has already plummeted, and the siblings share an emotional hug. Shiv leaves with Tom while Roman goes to bid farewell to Logan; Kendall watches from afar, fighting back tears, as paramedics load Logan's body into an ambulance.
