With patriarch Logan dead, it’s no surprise the Roy family is in disarray. Shiv is pregnant but has told no one, not even her soon-to-be-ex-husband Tom. Cousin Greg is lurking about, but Kendall and Roman are quickly dismantling the Waystar Royco empire due to their inexperience. Last but not least, Connor is running for President of the United States, and may just win.
