Excuse? And he ends the episode chasing after Nan Pierce’s town car, pounding the window and hollering like a common jilted boyfriend! Marcia, come get your man! Meredith: From the jump, Logan’s in a bad way, suggesting in the private plane circling a crowded Argestes airspace that Waystar-Royco give the Pierces what they want. Shiv: right but thwarted but vindicated but in trouble, whew! Tom: in the dark and doing pretty okay?Ĭan the team sign the PGM deal before the story breaks? (No.) Will Nan Pierce roll with the #MeToo punches? (Of course not.) Is is a good idea to perform roast comedy to billionaires’ faces? (Probably a no there also!)
