Summary
One night at the summer palace she and Rava shared a bottle of wine, no glasses, with their toes in the pool, and gossiped about all their college hookups. Shiv laughed until her stomach hurt and told Kendall, in the morning, that he was punching above his weight.
And then there was a ring. A white dress, a party attended by the president. A disconnect, a mistake. A child.

He can’t stop thinking about Shiv’s face. The twist of her mouth, the fall of her jaw, the hurt in her eyes that kept flashing over to rage. Well that’s not very nice to say, is it?

Summary
In the car, after the plane has landed and the world has been informed, Shiv says, “Tell me.” She’s not looking at Tom. Her hair is messy, wispy and windswept.
He sighs. He doesn’t want to. He is angry with Shiv, and with himself, and with the exhaustion he feels at the prospect of the coming days and weeks and months. He doesn’t know what he has now, corporately speaking, in Logan’s absence. He doesn’t know what he has lost now, maritally speaking, with Siobhan’s eyes trained on the window.
He doesn’t want to, but of course he does.

Summary
The story of Tess: how she meets Joel and the years of survival beyond.
“So let’s do it,” Tess whispered fiercely.
“What?”
“Let’s just not die. You, me, Tommy. We’ll go all the way to the end, as far as we have to go. Fuck Cordyceps and fuck the future. Let’s just not fucking die.”
“Well, all right,” Joel agreed. “You’re the boss.”
It was absurd optimism, a ridiculous fight: don’t fucking die. But it was the biggest Fuck You she could muster against reality. She was not going to give in, no matter how bad it got. She’d seen people take the easy, quiet way out with their pills or bullets. She got it. She even envied them a little. That kind of quick death would never belong to her. She was too full of fight, too angry at the world.
“We’ll go as far as we have to,” Joel murmured.
(Extra chapter added 16/11. It's the new Chapter 5. No other content has been altered.)

“Are you- are you seriously… asking for a fucking heir and a spare… in those exact words, Dad? Jesus fucking Christ. Do you… hear yourself? When you say this shit?"
“I’m not asking for a favour. It’s a proposition. It’ll benefit you, Pinky. Exponentially.”

Summary
Not unexpectedly, Logan Roy throws his children on the railroad tracks with an angry steam engine barreling toward them.
They left like scolded pups with their tails between their legs. Trembling. It was sweltering earlier—even so as the sun dipped—but now the sweat was chilled on the back of her neck. Kendall's arm was hovering above her shoulder for fear Siobhan would lunge for his throat if he touched her.
She didn't give Kendall a lot of credit, but he was smart. She would lose it if he, ever so slightly, brushed the back of her neck. Even if it was just the corner of his shirt cuff tickling her as they left, she wouldn't be able to handle it. While Kendall kept Siobhan close without pushing her over the edge, he had a firm grip on Roman.
Kendall half-tugged him along, half-lifted him up—hand clutching just above Roman's elbow—that alone, was a telltale sign everything had gone to shit. Roman would sooner die than let anyone help him, much less touch him. Roman was limping like he'd been hit. They needed to find Connor.
The Roys try to regroup after getting mauled, but blood is yet to be drawn.
