Tom is trying to fire a Nazi.
Greg is being seduced by Cyd Peach.
Roman has been exiled to a few hours spent among regular people, and Gerri gleefully watches from afar.
Connor is still trying to be president, and trying to woo donors at the mysterious Mos funeral.
The highlight of the episode nay, this entire season?
Heres whos up and whos down after this weeks very great Safe Room.
Cyd Peach
Cyd Peach is the devil incarnate, and for that reason I respect and admire her greatly.
Oh, do you have to milk him?
That is both all there is to itandall I will say at this time.
All these hoity-toity references
And you must be Oedipus Roy, Rhea Jarrell says to Kendall.
I have never felt more like the uncultured swine that I am!
I didntgo to Yale.
What a curious beast Logan Roy is!
Im inclined to believe him.
Im still a little on the fence (perhaps why he appears on this list twice?)
Were four episodes into season two and Cousin Greg has a new apartment and a promotion!
Rhea Jarrell
And I thought Shivs power bob would be thee look of the season!
Meet Rhea, who I would love immediately if I hadnt already promised my heart to Ms. Cyd Peach.
I havent loved a character introduction so much since Captain Jack Sparrow in the firstPirates of the Carribeanmovie!
(Yes, I am trapped in a weird, demented brain.)
Well that was exciting, she grins.
Absolutely great energy here!
Kendall is especially awkward around her; Logan seems intent to nail her down.
The Pierce family is the almighty.
Rhea is slick, though, and a deal-maker.
She seems to trust Logan, but will her bosses?
Kendall Roy
I am so sorry to announce that Kendall is apparently allowed to just say numbers.
As Shivs mother, I would like to say: upsetting.
Cousin Greg saying, Nazis?
Yeah yeah, theyre theworst.
This line reading I dont know a better person!
Greg reports that the rumor is that Mark named his dog Blondie, after Hitlers dog.
Tom tries to deflect the detail, saying that Logan likes the guy and so do the ratings.
Oh,dude, Tom sighs.
If its true, hes gone.
I mean, Nazis terrible right?
Cousin Gregs eyebrows shoot up.
His heart maybe stops beating entirely.
He straightens his back almost imperceptibly.
he says, incredulous.
Yeah yeah, theyre theworst.
The inflection on worst is so specific and beautiful it brings a tear to my dry eyes.
Wait, you didnt know that?
You cant pigeonhole me.
Im there and then Im gone.
Im intellectually promiscuous but culturally conservative.
Do you hear that?
Connor Roy
Finally, a little insight into who exactly Mo is.Was.
Shiv Roy
How much does it hurt me to rank my daughter Shiv beneath Connor?
You will never know.
Shiv deserves better; Shiv deserves more!
The Pierce dealings are kept from her until the active-shooter panic drops her right in the middle of them.
The way Logan growls her name as theyre throwing numbers around with Rhea does not exactly inspire confidence.
Being pro-PGM is working for Kendall.
Shes played both sides of the Pierce acquisition.
Shes willing to feed information to Shiv when it suits her.
But of all Logans kids shes chosenRomanas the favorite son?
But now I get it!
Unfortunately, being in cahoots with Roman in any capacity keeps Gerri from a top spot this week.
The Wolf Pack at Mos funeral
Leo, Lukas, Tobey, Kevin,sometimes-sixth-man Orlando representation matters.
Roman Roy, a.k.a.
Dirk Turkey, a.k.a.
Somehow this only reveals that he is even more of a moron than I or Logan could suspect.
He survives the training program, but, like, barely.
(Even if they are bad ideas, like not paying taxes or callingAn Indecent Proposalyour favorite movie.)
Roman still isnt sleeping with Tabitha, but is sleeping with Gerri sorta?
How nostalgic I am for three episodes ago when I thought Toms most pressing problem was Cyd Peach!
How nostalgic I am, even, for Toms incest joke at the beginning of this episode!
But, you know, whatever.
All of this small potatoes compared to him getting dumped by Cousin Greg!
How utterly humiliating to be broken up with byCousin Gregin apanic roomthat isnt even thenicepanic room.
I will say, though, that Matthew Macfadyens acting during this scene is absolutely magnificent to watch.
Its like hes decomposing before us, heartbreak turning to malice where is his Emmy nomination?
