The episode begins with Sandi (Hope Davis) arriving to meet with Logan and the family, as Roman (Kieran Culkin) says they are acquiring GoJo.

Stewy and Sandi both think they’re being ‘ambushed’ but Logan says they are ‘bleeding out’ with ad money.

Sandi says it is bigger than anything they have ever contemplated and it will restructure the company.

Logan says that if they really don’t like it, they can kill it, but Stewy said they didn’t say that. 

Season 2 ended with the Roy family heading into a proxy battle after Logan failed to secure funding to take the company private. 

Logan decided to announce a clean-up with Kendall taking the fall for the massive sexual abuse scandal that happened on the family’s cruise lines.

Kendall threw everyone a major curveball, though, revealing at the press conference that his father knew everything and orchestrated the millions of dollars in payouts to the victims to keep  everything quiet.

This new season will find Logan trying to secure familial and political allies in the aftermath of Kendall’s bombshell announcement. 

The trailers have teased that the family has been divided with most abandoning Logan, as they near the pivotal shareholder’s meeting where the family could lose the company to Stewy (Arian Moayed) and Sandy Furness (Larry Pine).

Kendall reveals in one of the trailers that he wants to take down his father, but he also doesn’t want the family to lose control of the company.
