In the series finale, Kendall mobilizes a coalition to block Matsson's acquisition by positioning himself as CEO, believing he has Roman's support and enough votes to win. Meanwhile, Shiv discovers she's been sidelined when Tom is secretly selected as Matsson's U.S. CEO figurehead. The siblings gather for the final board vote, where tensions explode when Kendall and Roman pressure Shiv for her deciding vote, leading to brutal confrontations and Kendall physically attacking Roman.

This episode resolves the central power struggle that has driven the entire series, revealing the fundamental unsuitability of all the Roy siblings for leadership that Logan always understood. Shiv's decision to vote for the sale rather than enable Kendall as CEO fractures the family permanently while raising questions about whether her choice was principled judgment or equally self-interested maneuvering, making this the definitive statement on legacy, power, and family loyalty in the Roy dynasty.
