It's easy to re-watch this show in the background, so I've been watching some of the older episodes again. I just realized something I didn't pick up on the first time I watched the "fundraiser" episode:
Everything that happened in the 2nd half of the season was based on Connor's stupidity.
Kendall decided at the last minute to add a joke about his father's retirement to his fundraiser speech. The guy running the teleprompter added space for the joke as "SUPRISE LOGAN RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT"
Connor, even though he was trying to pass himself off as a neutral "UN White Helmet" guy, was already starting to think of himself as having the US Presidential potential. He was walking saying things like "watch out Middle East, I can fix anything!" just because he was moving salad forks around and firing guys in the kitchen for making the butter too cold and coming up with a plan to turn his mother's charity into a "Tea Party" movement to take over the US. So he saw the "joke" placeholder on the teleprompter as his chance to tip off his father and gain political support.
Up until that point, Logan was barely even able to get himself to make it to the party. He had no intention to come back to work that early until Connor told him Kendall was about to try to force him out. But Kendall never even got a chance to get up an tell his joke, because his father immediately got up on stage to tell everyone he's back full time.
The funny think is, Logan still thinks of Connor as a joke of a son who tried to bring him "old bread" goo as an 80th birthday present. Out of all of his kids, he has the least respect for Connor by far. Logan actually respects cousin GREG more than he respects Connor.
why he is feckless. he tried to get greg to take a fall, and he only went at that guy because he got permission, he can't even root for his homies for his bachelors party. atleast these other mufukkers have done varying thing from endearing, fighting back, standing for themselves...
