She hints to Kendall that she may have changed her mind and casts doubt on his capacity to lead the company.
The remaining directors show there, and the affirmative and negative votes begin to pile up. When it comes time for Shiv to cast her vote, however, she abruptly exits the room. Upon being confronted by Kendall and Roman, she explains, “I don’t think you’d be good at this.” When he doesn’t get it, Kendall starts pleading with her, telling her, “I might die.” You can’t be CEO,” Shiv subsequently tells him. You murdered somebody. The young caterer who was killed by Kendall during Shiv’s wedding in the season one finale has made a return appearance.

Roman is grudgingly in Matsson’s photo. While Shiv and Tom slowly reconcile on the journey home.

Kendall walks Battery Park with his father’s bodyguard, Colin, close behind. In the final moments of the show, Kendall can be seen staring out over the lake before the screen goes black.
