‘You are Kendall Roy,’ Kendall is heard telling himself in the mirror as the minute-long teaser begins, as Siobhan ‘Shiv’ Roy (Sarah Snook) is then seen running to her father. 

Season two of the show ended on a cliffhanger, first tying up the mystery surrounding who would be the so-called ‘blood sacrifice’ offered to the Waystar Royco shareholders. 

But things got more dramatic than viewers had ever seen before when one of the shareholders recommended that Logan, himself, leaves the company.
