Shiv may be probably the most refreshing character on this episode, as a result of she’s the one who received sucked into Logan’s poisonous black gap the toughest all through the previous two seasons. Again when the present began, Shiv was distinctive in that she’d truly kind of managed to make a reputation for herself on her personal. Certain, her connections to Logan helped, however she had a great popularity and he or she did not want Logan’s approval for many of her decisions. 

However then Logan dangled the opportunity of being CEO in entrance of her within the season 2 premiere, and it was all downhill from there. She threw her political profession away, turned much more disconnected and thoughtless of Tom, and fairly quickly her complete life was dependent as soon as once more on the whims of her father, similar to it has been for Roman and Kendell. What adopted was 19 episodes of Shiv promoting what was left of her soul, inch by inch, to a person who did not actually recognize her and definitely by no means would. 

It was miserable to witness, which is why it is so enjoyable now to look at her confidently struggle to achieve Pierce, the corporate that is each her father’s white whale and a media conglomerate that truly aligns with Shiv’s values. (No extra being pressured to take footage with fascists, we hope.) When Logan calls them “f***ing morons” over the telephone on the finish, one thing that may’ve harm her at one level, right here she’s capable of brush previous the insult and perceive the decision for what it truly is: Logan’s admission of defeat. They nonetheless have not gotten their full revenge on him in any sense, however they’ve a minimum of gotten one important victory.
