Īfter Logan's stroke the brothers are all trying to do damage control. As they begin to argue, he sustains a stroke. Logan, as part of an agreement, fires Frank to make room for Roman, and instructs all his kids to fly in his helicopter. Ken tries to negotiate with Roman and Shiv, but they both reject his proposal to make him successor with them as COO.

While the Roy family enjoy their traditional game of baseball, Roman offers a kid $1 million if he can hit him a home run but loses, seemingly to Roman's joy as he subsequently tears the check up in front of him. They all stop fighting when Marcia calls them all for dinner. Ken confronts his father, but Logan stands his ground. Ken is upset at what his father and a fight breaks out between the siblings. Everyone else says they'll get their lawyers to look it. He also announces he will not be stepping down, before adding Ken already signed. Logan calls the children for a meeting and presents them with papers to sign, which would add Marcia Roy to the trust and leave her his board seat in the event of his death.

Roman shows up at Waystar Royco while Kendall Roy and his team are trying to salvage a deal. Unfortunately, Roman is still incredibly immature, and cost himself the seat at his father's table after sending a lewd photo to one of his superiors.

In the early days of the show, Roman played the part of court jester, making crude remarks to his coworkers and subordinates, and belittling anyone beneath his station due to a deep insecurity brought on by his father's parental tactics. Roman, nicknamed Romulus after the founder and first king of Rome, is a snarky, masochistic, and brash individual who thrives off of humiliation (both his own and others).
