He fumbles his way through questioning from Senator Eavis. Logan watches the testimony in a car with Hugo as they discuss who should be the company's public scapegoat for the scandal. Logan receives a call from an influential Waystar <a href="/wiki/Shareholder" title="Shareholder">shareholder</a>, who suggests that Logan take responsibility for the crimes. </p><p>After the testimony, the Roys spend a holiday on a large yacht in the <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_Sea" title="Mediterranean Sea">Mediterranean</a>. Connor and Willa are the first to arrive, and Willa is upset to hear that her recently opened play has been panned by critics. Shiv tells Tom she wants to have a <a href="/wiki/Threesome" title="Threesome">threesome</a> with him and a yacht employee, though Tom is clearly apprehensive. Kendall soon arrives on the boat with Naomi Pierce and Greg. </p><p>Roman, Karl and Laird return from Turkey, having been released by the <a href="/wiki/Anti-corruption" title="Anti-corruption">anti-corruption</a> militia on account of being foreigners. Laird claims to Logan that the deal to secure financing from Eduard Asgarov's family was successful and will allow Waystar to <a href="/wiki/Privatization" title="Privatization">go private</a>, but Roman admits the agreement is likely spurious. Laird, who was seeking to profit off the Turkey deal, reminds the others of the legal consequences if Waystar remains <a href="/wiki/Public_company" title="Public company">public</a>, and leaves the yacht for the others to resolve the dispute amongst themselves. Connor asks Logan for money to cover the financial loss related to Willa's play as well as numerous other expenses; Logan agrees so long as Connor suspends his <a href="/wiki/Political_campaign" title="Political campaign">presidential campaign</a>. Logan asks Kendall to have Naomi leave the yacht, surmising that she is enabling his <a href="/wiki/Substance_abuse" title="Substance abuse">drug abuse</a>; before departing, Naomi tells Kendall that Logan only favors him in his broken state. </p><p>At breakfast the next day, Logan nonchalantly offers to take the fall for the cruises misconduct, but the others immediately begin debating other options as they gather to the table. Tom's name is suggested by several members, including Shiv, as he oversaw the handling of the relevant documents, though the discussion is inconclusive amidst arguments. Logan and Kendall travel to a Greek island in an attempt to enlist financial aid from Stewy, but he turns them down. While relaxing on a beach, Tom confesses to Shiv that he is unhappy with their marriage and resents how she has treated him. After returning to the yacht, Tom eats a piece of Logan's chicken in defiance, while a reeling Shiv implores Logan not to sacrifice Tom. </p><p>Logan finally approaches Kendall and persuades him to bear the public responsibility for the crimes. A despondent Kendall suggests that he deserves the punishment for the death of Andrew Dodds, though Logan dismisses that incident as a "No Real Person Involved" case. Kendall asks Logan if he ever saw him fit to run the company, but Logan tells his son that he doesn't see him as a "killer". Logan announces his choice at dinner, which shocks the other family members. Logan also appoints Roman as the company's sole <a href="/wiki/Chief_operating_officer" title="Chief operating officer">COO</a>. </p><p>The following morning, Kendall and Greg are flown back to New York to give a <a href="/wiki/Press_conference" title="Press conference">press conference</a>, and Greg expresses sympathy for Kendall's situation. As Logan and Shiv watch on television from the yacht, Kendall begins by saying he has been chosen to accept blame for the company's handling of the cruises incidents, but suddenly deviates from his prepared remarks by blaming Logan, calling his father a "malignant presence, a bully, and a liar" and stating that Logan was personally responsible for approving the <a href="/wiki/Settlement_(litigation)" title="Settlement (litigation)">legal settlements</a> covering up the misconduct. Additionally, he informs the reporters that he has brought documents proving his father's guilt, which Greg has on hand. The speech shocks the reporters, Karolina, and the rest of the Roy family except for Logan, who is faintly smiling. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=This_Is_Not_for_Tears&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Writing">Writing</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=This_Is_Not_for_Tears&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Writing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>"This Is Not For Tears" was written by <i>Succession</i> showrunner Jesse Armstrong and directed by Mark Mylod in his eighth episode for the series.
