Logan passed away on his private jet while attempting to fly to Europe to finalize the deal with Matsson. The board of directors wants to continue the sale, but Logan’s children are conflicted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nThe outright betting favorite is that none of the Roy children will ascend as Logan’s successor because the company will get sold to Matsson. There is a strong chance either Matsson or someone on the Waystar Royco executive committee will take over. That includes head legal counsel Gerri Kellman (J. Smith-Cameron), CFO Karl Muller (David Rasche), or COO Frank Vernon (Peter Friedman).<\/p>\n
Roman Roy +250<\/h2>\n
Roman Roy (Kieran Culkin), the youngest of the siblings, spent most of his career in Hollywood, keeping an eye on Waystar Royco’s film studio. His personal politics are most aligned with Logan, and he emerged as a late favorite to take control of the company over his older siblings.<\/p>\n
Roman’s sexual proclivities got him in trouble with his father. He fosters an unusual attraction to his mentor, Gerri, who is Waystar’s top lawyer and almost twice his age. He attempted to send her a picture of his penis during a meeting, but accidentally sent it to his father instead. A furious Logan thought Roman was a pervert, which knocked him down a couple of pegs in the pecking order last season.<\/p>\n
Roman redeemed himself by brokering a deal with Matsson to buy the family company, which got him back in the good graces of Logan. Roman is the second-overall betting favorite, leading all his siblings at +250 odds.<\/strong><\/p>\nHowever, Roman might be in hot water after firing two female executives in the previous episode, including a studio head and Gerri.<\/p>\n
