The episode takes place months after the season three finale "All the Bells Say", during which alignments within the family shifted heavily; Logan's three youngest children Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) are now teamed up against their father, against whom they race to land a bid for Pierce Global Media, days before Logan's planned sale of Waystar to GoJo.
Six months after being cut out of GoJo's acquisition of Waystar RoyCo by Logan,[a] Kendall, Shiv and Roman are prepared to resign from the company and are in Los Angeles to meet investors for their proposed new media brand, "The Hundred".
Logan, fed up with the party, leaves to get dinner with his bodyguard Colin, where he ruminates on the economic value of people, mortality, and the possibility of an afterlife.
He later returns to his apartment and summons Tom and the rest of his senior cadre to his study to finalize the deal with the Pierces; Karl informs him that his children have launched a competing bid.
Nan claims to be indecisive about whose offer to take, torn between her distaste for Logan and PGM's urgency for stable financing amidst its waning public support.
Meanwhile, a dejected Logan watches ATN's nightly news broadcast alone, and calls network head Cyd Peach to lambaste her over the quality of its content.
The series filmed in and around Los Angeles for the fourth season, with a property in the Pacific Palisades in Santa Monica, known as the "San Onofre Estate", being used as Kendall, Shiv and Roman's base of operations.

Hughes praised Sarah Snook and Matthew Macfadyen's performances during the "fantastic" scene between Shiv and Tom at the end of the episode, calling it "as raw as we've ever seen these two get."
"[12] Bob Strauss of TheWrap wrote that "The Munsters" set up the rest of the season's storyline in "a smart, wickedly written and entertaining way", and called its penultimate scene between Shiv and Tom "one of the most emotionally devastating in the show’s history.
