"Money always wins."

Arguably the best episode of the show to date. I found myself checking the runtime in the hopes of there being more to come, I truly never wanted it to end.

It is the most revealing that the show has ever been, I find the dynamics between the Roy family to be endlessly fascinating and this particular episode took this to an entirely new level. I spoke about Cox in my last review, declaring him as absolutely wondrous. Well, the man has ascended even higher, beyond description. A true craftsman, playing the role of a very layered individual to perfection. Unlike last season, I am beginning to admire Logan's persistence, the sheer force of his power. Even as he slowly alienates each and every member of his family, I, as the viewer, am in awe of his every move. I find myself going back and forth between hating him, then loving him.

Strong was phenomenal yet again. Key development for Kendall, Tom and Shiv, Roman and borderline every member of the family is on display in this episode. I cannot expand without spoiling, but the events of 'Tern Haven' have sent the show in a brand new, and remarkably exciting, direction. I felt and understood each character far more after this episode.

God, I hope this continues. It is a brilliant show, that I hope will continue this brilliant run of material.
