![]() ![]() Roys rarely apologise, but she said sorry for “some of the things I said last night” and gave Tom “the opportunity to retract” too. Shiv’s bombshell fizzle sĪmid the mayhem, Shiv collared Tom for a corridor tête-à-tête. If he won, he’d refer the sale to regulators in exchange for ATN’s explicit backing. If he lost, Mencken wanted it “characterised as a huge victory”, laying groundwork for the next election. They agreed on “what assholes would call a narrative”. Roman had more joy with kindred spirit Mencken. When Kendall (Jeremy Strong) wished Jiménez luck and nudged him to “rein in tech” once in power, he got short shrift. ![]() “Good for democracy and great for us,” Shiv told co-conspirator Matsson. If Jiménez won, his administration would probably wave through Waystar’s acquisition by GoJo, leaving the brothers with the board and shareholders nixing the deal as their last hope of retaining ownership. He took impish delight in winding up his sis by dismissing such concerns as “false flags”. She wanted it to report on civil unrest and voter intimidation. He wanted ATN to Trumpishly claim voter fraud. This would become a running theme: liberal Shiv scurrying off to check in with the Dems, Romulus flirting with the neo-Nazis. Roman (Kieran Culkin) received “eggplant, eggplant, flag” from alt-right rival Jeryd Mencken (Justin Kirk). Shiv (Sarah Snook) was texted an optimistic “four smileys” by Jiménez’s running mate, Gil Eavis. Upstairs in the VIP suite, the Roy siblings clashed over consequences of the result – for themselves, for the firm and, far less importantly, for the country. Smileys v eggplantsįlirting with the neo-Nazis … Roman (Kieran Culkin). It’s even longer on a rolling news channel with malfunctioning touchscreens and micro-managing CEOs. Latest polling predicted a tight race, with Democrat candidate Daniel Jiménez (Elliot Villar) edging it … but a night is a long time in politics. Knowledge is power, said Tom, but tonight he wanted the leggy princeling “Gregging for me” again. He had, however, learned about Shiv’s secret alliance with the striking Viking. Greg was not-so-fresh from his night on the tiles with GoJo mogul Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård), who’d made him visit “unseemly” venues, “dance with a confused old man” and “drink things that aren’t normally drinks”. Not for Tightrope Tom-Wom’s refined palate. Comfy shoes, adult diapers and double shot coffees were required, as was a bump of cocaine from cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun). He admitted to being “a little bit tense” from last night’s marital strife. We began with ATN boss Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) juggling a chaotic newsroom with demands from his in-laws to deliver blockbuster ratings. ![]()
