At Logan’s funeral mass, Kendall and Shiv eulogize their father while rallying their forces, and Roman goes to pieces. Number one boy Vikram Murthi returns to the RoyCast to talk about “Church and State” as a classic penultimate episode, the show’s signature blend of dry humor and pathos, the direction and staging of Logan's funeral, the decline and fall of Roman, Kendall's bitter goodbyes to Rava and Jess, the pending Shiv W, Mencken maneuvers, Ewan’s good hard take, a curious scene with Colin, the women in Logan's life, CEO odds, some light series finale speculation, and more.
