    They left out the best part, the bit where he makes his own grandson taste the food incase its poisoned. Terrifying power move that tells you that Logan's ruthlessness is beyond what his kids are capable of. He goes for the throat.

      A lot of people mention this as though Logan genuinely thought Kendall would poison him; he knows Kendall wouldn’t, and the Roy’s aren’t exactly a medieval society where poisonings at dinner are common.
      He just did it to play a sick mind game; he does it to psych him out a bit. It’s very twisted and malicious, but no way he genuinely thought the food was poisoned.

      I really read it as Logan calling Kendall out on the superficial ignorance he has feigned to the business Waystar was always in. Kendall took to a humanitarian and what some would call a hopeless “woke” approach to battling the indecencies of the company, but it was unfounded on the basis of him only purporting those ideologies because it best benefited him in his attempt to win the game. Logan is saying Kendall always knew and only began to care about the malpractice of the company when it best suited him. He pretends to be a white knight fighting for what’s right, but only when it’s the best play he had.

    I love how Brian conveys a hint of convincement. He starts buying into what Kendall is saying, becuase at some point he starts saying real life reasons as to why he wants out and that there is a plan (even if he takes 2B from him to start something for himself). But then he starts "you're corrupt, and evil and would do things I wouldn't yada yada bla bla". And at that instant he loses Logan, becuase he is "talking about things he doesn't understand". That is basically a form of Logan saying, "don't judge me without looking at yourself first".

    Revisiting this after the funeral episode made me realize that Kendal finally let go of his self image as the good guy. He knows that he have more of his dad in him and fully embracing it allows Kendal to finally be the leader Logan always wanted him to be. Not necessarily a nice thing, but definitely the first time he's truthful to himself.

    For Logan, it’s not about good vs evil; it’s about being the best. In his business, that means being the best at exploiting people’s fears, desires, insecurities, for his own personal gain. And here he makes his point by doing just that to Kendall-expertly exploiting Kendall’s guilt as a negotiating tactic. So good.

    I’ve read most of the comments about this scene and why Kendall reacted that way and why his dad reacted that way too but did no one else forget what Ken’s mum said Logan likes to kick everything he loves just to see if it will come back that’s why he said the birthday card was a joke which is really true (that was the kick ) but he was caught off guard by Ken’s response on wanting to be done and he could sense this was no bluff and it didn’t surprise that when he was biting back he had tears in his eyes because tho he was being cruel to his son he was angry because the thing he loves the most might not want him anymore ( you can clearly tell even from subtle scenes that out of everything in his life in his own twisted psychotic way he treasures ken the most and so him wanting out of the relationship he only sees betrayal) he was more hurt by this than when ken nearly kicked him out of his own company anyway moral of this when psychopaths love it’s just complicated 😂

But he's clearly experienced enough cruelty and brutality in his life to convince him that the world is simply a cruel and brutal place; and that it's every man for himself. As Kendall points out, he uses this cynical view of life and human beings to make his money; but he wouldn't be a success if there wasn't some truth to it. And as much as he loves his kids, I think he's continuously disappointed and frustrated at their naivety to not see the world in this way; and also their hypocrisy since they're all as amoral as he is, and yet they constantly call him a monster. He still sees them all as children that simply dont 'get it'.
