After last weeksbrilliant, chilling Tern Haven,Successionhas served us another road trip.
Sure, it looks like a casual suburban steakhouse table for six at Logans Roadhouse, anyone?
but its where our nations finest minds have gathered to solve all the worlds problems.
Or to just get richer.
Frankly, its a little unclear.
Heres where the Roy family, along with their friends and enemies, stand after Argestes.
kindly respect my religious freedom.
Kendall calling Shiv Beyonce as a diss only shows who should be running the company and who shouldnt be.
Kendall: You might have to go straight to the airport.
Its better for you to go home.
Somebody can send your luggage.
They talked in circles or not at all; Shiv at least said what people want to hear.
Will Nan poach Shiv?
Id like to see it.
She tried to force Logans hand, and where did that get her?
In an office with Frank and his Ivy League degrees and dictionaries, or whatever.
(Frank remains an extremely bougie mystery to me.)
Well, well, well, how the turntables have you know.
Suddenly Shiv is more in demand than Meryl Streep at an Oscar-nominees luncheon!
Whats more: Kendall, attempting to shade her, calls her Beyonce!
New YorkMagazine
I mean, Iworkhere.
(I would not like to see this.
hey dont sue us.)
Logan Roy
Attacks on all sides!
Even from Logans body: Hes wearing the stress from the takeover bid and the PGM negotiations differently.
Maybe its the altitude, or maybe its weighing on him more than ever before.
This episode aligns a little too perfectly for my taste, but it certainly makes a point.
Except he still has control of a company, and Roman has control of absolutely nothing.
Marcia Roy
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!
Finally, though, shes broken through.
When theNew Yorkarticle is on the horizon, shes the one Logan wants in his corner.
Shiv is horny for him, and so is that other woman he was talking to at the party.
I want to see Tom have a little thot-umn!
(Will it lead with Dads plan is better?
It ought to.)
He yells at underlings.
He fusses with crisis PR.
He sits on panels and promises that the company will have more oversight.
He remains Logans errand boy, but with a soft heart.
Banker Danny Huston
… Is back!
Danny Hustons character is Laird
Thank you, J. Smith-Cameron!
I love your work.
Also can Gerri get an iPhone?
Fisher Stevens a.k.a.
Hugo Baker
No, I dont know what Fisher Stevens is doing here.
But I just think attention must be paid to the fact that Fisher Stevens now exists in theSuccessionuniverse.
Rhea likes Logan and Shiv, but she doesnt seem particularly tickled by anyone else in the Roy family.
Shes not in a good spot.
Whats worse than being between a rock and a hard place?
Being between Cherry Jones and whatever Cherry Jones wants, I think.
Roman Roy
I think Roman might actually be as big a moron as everyone believes.
Does it hurt me to say that?
Eh, not really.
At every opportunity, he has mucked up anything available to be mucked up.
Maybe Im feeling temperamental, but Ive kind of had it with his shit.
He certainly has the majority of the episodes best one-liners, but his endgame is getting murky.
