By getting into Matsson’s good graces and quietly working with him behind the scenes, Shiv just catapulted herself into an incredibly powerful position; though we don’t fully know yet how she did it, Matsson raises his offer for Waystar Royco and ATN and then calls Shiv asking for a photo of her dejected brothers. (Why he does this, and again, what he and Shiv did without telling Roman and Kendall, is still a mystery for now.)
Matsson also opens up to Shiv, saying that he has some skeletons in his closet; namely, that he sent a container of his own blood (ew) to his head of comms, with whom he had an inappropriate romantic fling. Shiv handles this news in stride, providing him with any number of fixes and solutions he could utilize to keep the story quiet, like “catch and kill.” So is this why Matsson and Shiv have some sort of connection now? Has she agreed to be his fixer or something? Or is it something else entirely — are Shiv and Matsson involved with each other now? Whatever it is, Shiv has masterminded this entire situation, which is especially significant after her brothers were named co-CEOs of Waystar Royco and elected to leave her behind. Now, in seeming retribution, she’s engineered her own fate.
