I feel like some of this episode went over your head and some important tidbits of dialogue were missed during the commentary. Mostly, with regards to Shiv. This was her episode. SHE secured the deal, and won over her brothers. So many subtle interactions highlight her real power and influence. The fact that Tom is referred to as, “Tom of Shiboan”, which ticks him off. The fact that Matteson is clearly not getting on with Ken and Roman’s interpersonal style. They were taking themselves too seriously with a lot of his banter going over their heads; they were coming off as hostile and cold to him. Whereas Shiv’s cool and collected nature is why Matteson goes up to her. They start talking and she makes him feel comfortable enough, that she’s pulled into a full on 1 on 1 conversation with him where he opens up (something I imagine he doesn’t do often), and tells her something confidential and vulnerable (re: Abba). And Shiv’s natural instinct to not give a fuck works here, which is why she responds truthfully about her relationship with Tom (Ken would’ve BS’ed and tried to dance). And Matteson likes that; she’s upfront, and will tell it as it is without BS’ing him. She also tells him that a few more $ would seal the deal, that Karolina is great, and pivots to position Gerri as an asset that can help him with the Abba situation. Which is why he tells her that she likes her and that she is like Logan. It’s also why he ups the offer, and why he retains Gerri and Karolina and fires everyone; and calls her, over her brothers. Lastly, Ken’s idea to blow up the deal was stupid as heck; as usual, Ken likes to self implode. Everything was going well; they all wanted to sell out. But, his ego (desire for power versus winning), toxic attachment to his father and how Logan is at the core of his identity (this would have been everyone’s chance to get away and start fresh with billions - yet, Ken can’t let go. He still wants to be “on top of Waystar” even after his dad is gone). Lastly, as usual, he overestimates his competency (after 24 hours of running the company, he truly thinks that he can take over 😂, yet his track record says that…he always blows things up/has zero wins). Once again, Ken’s arrogance, daddy issues, and ego were getting in the way. And thankfully, Shiv, stopped that train from wrecking.
