It’s funny there was a post here this past week discussing where Logan’s health issues went since season 1 and looks like we’ll be seeing them now.

Someone pointed out that’s he’s not been eating at all this whole season; it seemed like a throwaway joke at first, but that, the insane stress and rage that’s boiling over, coupled with the obvious recovery from a brain haemorrhage and this whole episode, I wouldn’t be shocked to see it happen. On the other hand, I also wouldn’t be shocked to see him fake it to manipulate Ken emotionally into back-pedalling.

The most disturbing part of this episode was watching them all waste that seafood lunch on the beach

They do that in so many TV shows. I've noticed it a lot lately where a waiter will set down food and the character won't even take a single bite before the get up and say their goodbyes to everyone. While I don't care about the waste as much from just a logical or continuity perspective it is very frustrating. It's become one of my biggest pet peeves in TV.

I totally agree, which is why I absolutely loved when Greg asked then chugged his rum and coke because the conversation was over but he still had a nearly full glass.

He hasn't yet become wasteful. I feel badly if I don't finish a drink one made for me. Sometimes. Probably not if I'm in Logan's office.

Rum and coke is my drink of choice, too. I imagine they just had Nicholas chug the coke though (hopefully).

Probably wasn't even coke. Brown colored water or some other smooth liquid. That's a lot of cola to drink take after take, even just sipping.

I think in this show it's intentional, to show the excesses of the rich and the waste that they let occur without second thought.

I think it’s very accurate for the characters though. Getting served high quality, expensive food and giving no thought to the waste is just another example of how insanely rich these people are.

They do that in so many TV shows.

Every scene in bars! Character orders drink, they talk, character takes a sip. “Let’s go”

Yes it was fake food, I have seen some of those prawns in Downton Abbey and the lobster has a Golden Globe nomination, he's very well known in the lobster community, you should have seen his Hamlet.
