The son wants to take his father down and has been relentless throughout the season, but the last couple of episodes show he's tapering off.

The good news, Kendall survived and is now planning on hiring new lawyers and even doing a spread on Vanity Fair while planning to dump his five-year history on Instagram. Meanwhile, Roman (Kieran Culkin) is still battling his father after being caught for sending a picture of his d*** to Gerri (J. Cameron-Smith). The GoJo deal becomes one of the focal points as well.
