“Maybe the poison drips through,” Kendall said to Shiv. Logan's dead but maybe the poison drips through. And I watch in abject horror, with a pit in my stomach and the visceral urge to vomit as the three siblings all spiraled down to become the worst part of Logan. Maybe the poison drips through. Ken flew all over the place with his crazy ideas only to have all of them crashing and burning in front of his eyes because he wanted people to look at him and say that he's outdone Logan, because Logan would prove that he's the best and this is what Logan would've done. Maybe the poison drips through. Shiv secretly teamed up with Matsson to screw her brothers over from the back door because Logan was ruthless and this is what Logan would've done. Maybe the poison drips through. Roman supported a right-wing fascist to be the president because he only cared about the ratings and the company and he would sell democracy, hell, even the whole country for it, that's what Logan would've done. Maybe the poison drips through.
Logan's dead but maybe the poison drips through. Maybe the poison already dripped through. Logan's dead and Kendall’s the CEO but Kendall is an empty husk of a man raised only for power and could not, would not live without it. Maybe the poison already dripped through. Logan's dead and nobody is going to dangle his approval in front of Shiv anymore to get her to dance but Shiv already destroyed her relationship with Tom. Tom was the one who filled her with the love and recognition she wants but it’s not enough and it will never be enough because she can't recognize love when it's not transactional. Maybe the poison already dripped through. Logan's dead and nobody is belittling and abusing Roman anymore but Roman is a lost little boy looking for love, the runt of Logan’s litter and Logan toughened him up by hurting him and making him hurt the people he loves: hurt his siblings and hurt Gerri. Maybe the poison already dripped through.
Logan's dead but maybe the poison drips through. Maybe the poison will keep on dripping through. Kendall shaped himself for his entire life to be his father's heir since Logan promised the empire to him when he was 7. Kendall verbally and physically abused Roman in the name of love, pushed Shiv out and said it was him protecting her, lied to his siblings to get his way. Kendall became a monster. Kendall became Logan. But it wasn’t enough. The crown was snatched from him anyway. So in the end, he was left staring at the sea, having lost everything: the company, his siblings, his kids, and maybe he should throw himself inside, there’s nothing left for him to live for anyway. Maybe the poison will keep on dripping through. Shiv manipulated and backstabbed Kendall to snatch the crown from him but in the end it wasn’t hers, it was Tom’s. In the end, she ended up exactly as her mother whom she resented, the wife of the CEO and mother of the CEO’s baby, trapped in a loveless marriage and doomed to repeat the cycle of neglect and abuse. Maybe the poison will keep on dripping through. Roman was in a bar all alone, staring at the glass of Martini. In the end, he can't have his dad, he can't have his siblings, he can't have Gerri, he can only have Gerri’s drink. Maybe the poison will keep on dripping through. Logan pitted his children against each other all their lives and his death opened their gates. Here’s a glass fighting cage. Here are three golden children, three broken mirrors, three fighting dogs. In the end, what else could they do but tear each other apart while everyone watches?
Logan's dead but the poison drips through. It dripped through already and it will keep on dripping through. And here's the sad story. Here's the tragedy. We keep watching this show holding on to redemption, hoping that the siblings would somehow find love, and love conquers all, or so we thought, so the kids will somehow be alright. But it’s too late. It’s too goddamn late. The poison has been dripping through all along. The ending has been written in ink long ago, in the childhood videos where the children stood together and Logan always walked away from them. The ending has been writ in stone in Logan's mausoleum with four empty reserved spots: for the three golden children and Connor, the actual eldest son who was always ignored, yet he could not escape the trio’s ending anyway.
