Thinking about how Logan was the most soft and tender towards Ken in two situations, when he crushed him with blackmail and when he told him he was going to sacrifice him. Only then he didn't say "you're nothing, soft, fucked up". He said "you're my number one boy" and "you did so well"... so I will kill you.

Another thing is that Logan never said to Ken "I love you" or "I'm proud of you" (he said "love you" to Shiv and "I'm proud of you" to Roman).

In all the seasons the closest was "what can you possibly kill, that you love so much", and in season 3 "I love him", sitting next to Ken, not even looking at him.

And Ken, I think, only said "I love you" to Logan in the sentence "I hate to say it, because I love you, but you're kind of... evil"...

I just love shows where being your dad or mom’s fave is a cage all on its own, and it’s not worse than being chained up outside but it’s definitely not better.

Logan is so methodical in punishing Ken.

First of all, he uses ambush.

He sends Ken to the desert "to dry out", only to put him in front of TV cameras 48 hours later, to destroy his reputation with one humiliating sentence "my dad's plan is better".

After Ken said he would need some downtime, Logan announced that he'll be co-COO with Roman (making all the siblings suspicious and isolating Ken further). Ken has no reaction, staring down and just glimpsing at Roman.

Logan travels with Ken all the way to meet Sandy and Stewy, just to make him go in alone, with no prep, to confront his furious friend and act as an errand boy.

And finally, in "Return", right after the one scene (the only scene like that?) when Ken, Roman and Logan laugh together for five seconds... Ken, probably thinking that he's starting to get close to dad, that he may say something honest to help, politely and with fright suggests that maybe an affair with Rhea isn't a good idea... Oh, penalty for talking out of line is harsh, Logan needs to quickly remind Ken of his place. So he makes him go to Andrew's parents, and step into the house, which for Ken is like a trip to hell. Little boy waiting in the kitchen for grown ups to finish the conversation, looking at the pictures of the other boy he killed.

Taking Ken's voice away is actually another aspect of Logan's punishment.

He didn't want to talk with Ken about selling idea - that was the first punch, because Ken's whole relationship with Logan was based on his role in the company.

So it's one "stick" - Logan made Ken answer in front of the family if he should fight, and then ignored his embarrassing paean. He didn't count his vote to show the family that Ken didn't count anymore.

Vaulter - "gut it" - in this scene Ken realizes that from now on, nothing he says means anything to Logan. You can notice that since then until "Return" Ken barely speaks, and most of what he says is connected to executing Logan's wishes. During corporate retreat Ken puts all his energy to be as small and quiet as possible - and he's awarded for that when Logan gently places his hands on Kendall's hunched shoulders while ruthlessly humiliating everyone else.

"Your brother is going to be working in here from now on" - this one is gut-wrenching. Some people say that it was "a cookie", an award. But I see it differently. Ken followed the orders and "killed his baby", proving that he could be useful, good boy, so Logan decided to put him back on the leash (or let him in from the yard - "make yourself at home") and keep an eye on him - to have him close, isolated and broken. In this scene Logan pretty much said "go sit in this corner (btw it's the same seat in which Ken sat when Logan told him to gut Vaulter), and wait for my next command".

There are many more examples that keep flooding my head, but I know this is already very long post.

But I need to add this. Ken at this point had nothing - no self worth, no friends, no support in the family, no partner, no real bond with his kids, no relevance in the business world.

All he had left was dad, and in some way that was all he ever wanted - to be needed by dad - so he surrendered.

And when dad would make him do awful things, Ken would do them, because then Logan was kind to him, talking softly, even saying "good work, son", "you did good, son" and offering the pat on the back.

Isn't that how Stockholm Syndrome works?

Ken is a hostage of his dad, hostage of the love he craves, of things he never got.
