History[]

Season 1[]

Gerri and Karl arrive and pull Kendall aside. They inform him that he will be CEO in Logan's absence, and that Roman had just been promoted to COO.[1]

Kendall meets with Logan privately to inform him of the situation. His father asks if this is a bear hug, which Kendall confirms. Furious, Logan kicks him out. Logan's wife Marcia comes in as Logan is fishing out papers he threw in the toilet. He demands to get everyone on the phone, including Karl and Gerri.[2]

Season 2[]

Kendall then sits down with his father and Karl. Logan wishes to know what information the rival team has and how they plan to use it. Karl excuses himself from the room, allowing them more privacy.[3]

Gerri and Karl try to pressure Tom into changing Logan's mind about PGM.

While everyone is having dinner in Hungary, Logan confronts his staff members, demanding to know who had been in contact with the Pierce family, as well as with Pantsil. He first insults Frank, then asks Karl if his wife knows of all his visits to the whorehouse. Logan proposes that they a play a game called "boar on the floor", and has Karl, followed by Tom and Greg, stand in the front of the room. They're then instructed to get on their hands and knees and fight over sausage, the loser being considered the mole. While doing so, Logan berates and shouts at them, and has everyone else join in.[4]

While Roman, Karl, and Laird are in Turkey, they're interrupted and confronted by men with guns. It takes a minute for Roman to realize that they are being held up by terrorists, and are soon ushered downstairs to the lobby with all the other rich guests of the hotel. Their group is then soon re-located to the dining area. Although Karl admits to having a bit of a panic attack, everyone is acting rather calm, given the high-stress situation. After over 24 hours, the men with guns demand to know who are foreigners. After Karl raises his hand, the rest of them follow suit and they are soon led away by the men.[5]

After being released, Roman, Karl, and Laird arrive via helicopter to the Roy family's yacht, where they are vacationing. The next morning at breakfast, everyone discusses who should be the scapegoat following the cruise-line scandals. Kendall suggests Gerri, Roman suggests Frank, and Frank suggests Karl. Karl suggests Gerri as well, but Roman defends her.[6]
