itsnotmymindWhen Logan is telling Kendall why he has chosen him to be sacrificed in "This Is Not for Tears", he says "The hearings…you did so well. But now…you're the face."
But this did not happen passively.
In the previous episode, "DC", Logan turns the heat on Kendall during the hearings. “At that point, I believe my son was across that operation, right?” he says in response to a question directed at himself.
This is very deliberate - so deliberate that Logan actually apologizes to Ken afterward: "I'm sorry if it was rough". Kendall insists “it was fine. We're good. It's all good.” I think Logan both feels guilty and is trying to get a read on Kendall, to decide if Kendall will go along with being the face of the scandal, if Logan has that much power in the relationship. I don't know that Logan was planning on sacrificing Ken at this point, but he definitely was setting up a situation that made that kind of maneuver possible.
