It’s protected to say that after this week, Succession won’t ever be the identical once more.
We thought Sunday’s episode would focus on Connor and Willa’s wedding ceremony, and certainly, it begins with Roman heading there when he receives a name from Logan, who’s getting on a aircraft with Tom to fulfill Matsson. Logan needs to fireplace Gerri… and he needs Roman to offer her the dangerous information. It’s clearly a loyalty take a look at, and Roman swallows laborious and says he’ll do it. On the wedding ceremony, a brass band performs as Willa explains to her mother they’ll take a ship to Ellis Island for the ceremony. (So Connor is getting the “hoopla” he requested for.) Connor bristles when he overhears some visitors griping in regards to the ultra-rich — “Mr. Scrooge simply occurred to be an enormous wealth creator. They don’t point out that in Mr. Dickens’ books” — whereas Roman works up the nerve to tug Gerri apart.
Instantly, Gerri can sense he’s being bizarre (as a result of he isn’t speaking about dicks for as soon as), and after he hems and haws for a bit, he blurts out that’s she’s fired. Logan blames her for what occurred with the Division of Justice and the big high quality they needed to pay, he says, however she says she labored her ass off for him. “You simply misplaced his confidence,” Roman concludes, assuring her she’ll be properly compensated and attempting to say he’s sorry. However an offended Gerri simply storms off, leaving Roman to depart his dad a voicemail: “Are you type of simply being s–tty to me?… That’s the query: Are you a cunt?”
Kendall arrives as Connor is complaining in regards to the “insufficient” wedding ceremony cake — it reminds him of the “loony cake” he was given when his mother was despatched away to an establishment — and Shiv ignores a number of cellphone calls from Tom. Connor continues to be hoping Logan will cease by, not figuring out that he’s on a flight abroad, and Kendall and Roman volunteer Shiv to interrupt the information to him. However then Tom calls Roman from the flight and urgently tells him there’s one thing unsuitable with Logan: “He’s very sick.” They discovered him unresponsive within the toilet, and so they’re doing chest compressions. The airplane workers is doing their finest to revive him, however Frank places his cellphone to Logan’s ear so Kendall and Roman can speak to their dad, “in case it’s the final probability.” A shellshocked Roman tells Logan, “You’re a monster. You’re gonna win,” and Kendall chokes out: “I really like you. I do… I can’t forgive you. However yeah, it’s OK, and I really like you.” Kendall runs and tells Shiv, and she or he runs to the cellphone crying, telling Logan, “I really like you… don’t go, please not now.” However Tom tells her, “He’s not OK, no.” Logan’s coronary heart has stopped, and his respiration has stopped, Tom stories.
The jet is popping again, and Kendall barks into the cellphone that he needs Logan’s physician and “the perfect f–king coronary heart physician on the earth,” and he needs them within the subsequent minute. He additionally insists on speaking to the pilot, however Frank softly tells him, “He’s flying the aircraft, son.” Kendall asks if Logan is useless, and Frank isn’t certain, however “I believe he went.” Kendall will get choked up and hangs up, and Shiv is upset that nobody instructed her sooner. Roman is dazed and may’t even bear in mind what he stated to Logan (“Did I say I liked him?”), and so they notice they should inform Connor. They pull him apart and inform him they assume Logan could also be useless. “Nicely, is he?” Connor coldly responds, working by way of a number of difficult emotions about his father earlier than declaring he can’t deal with this proper now and strolling away. Roman nonetheless needs to get some correct docs to have a look at Logan; he’s not formally been declared useless but, he says, “so f—king cease!”
On the aircraft, Karolina begins to make preparations for the worst, and Kerri is shaking and clearly in shock, saying, “That was so f—king bizarre.” Tom calls Greg and tells him he wants to depart the marriage and go into the workplace “as a result of Logan is useless.” They should hold this quiet for now as a result of Waystar’s inventory may tank, Tom warns, including, “I’m not OK. I’m unhappy… I misplaced my protector.” (He does need it identified, although, that he was with Logan when he died.) Hugo provides his condolences, however Roman nonetheless gained’t settle for he’s useless: “What if it’s a giant f—king take a look at?” The legal professionals are beginning to draft an announcement, however the Roy siblings aren’t prepared to speak about that but. They begin to battle amongst themselves — Shiv wonders if they will circle the aircraft for a bit whereas they determine methods to deal with this, whereas Roman needs them to land instantly so a physician can see Logan — as Kendall reminds them that “what we do immediately will at all times be what we did the day our father died.”
Connor and Willa speak about suspending the marriage, however Connor’s afraid it’ll give her an opportunity to rethink issues. She’s so younger and energetic, and “my father’s useless, and I really feel outdated.” He asks her level clean if she’s simply with him for his cash, and she or he admits there’s one thing to be stated for “cash and security… however I’m pleased. I’m.” She vows to not depart him… “not immediately, anyway.” Kendall begins speaking funeral plans (“We may do Reagan’s, with tweaks”), and he confers with Roman and Shiv in regards to the GoJo sale. Do they undergo with it, or “hold our choices open”? They insist on drafting the corporate assertion themselves and sustaining management till the board meets, and Shiv and Kendall nominate Roman to inform Matsson what occurred.
The three of them take a helicopter to the airport the place Logan’s aircraft is arriving and a press convention awaits. (Roman asks in the event that they’re going to be OK, and Kendall replies they are going to, earlier than they joke that they’re truly screwed.) Shiv takes the lead, asserting to the press that Logan was pronounced useless on arrival and paying tribute to him earlier than including that the board will meet to find out the following steps. When a reporter asks what their position might be, Shiv says, “We intend to be there.” As Waystar’s inventory value is nose-diving, Kendall, Roman and Shiv marvel if they need to go see Logan’s physique earlier than sharing a young three-way hug. Connor and Willa find yourself getting married in any case in entrance of only a few visitors, whereas Shiv and Tom take a automobile residence collectively and Kendall stays again to look at his father’s physique get loaded into an ambulance.
Whoa… when you’re achieved processing that intense hour of tv, be a part of us within the feedback under to share your ideas on Logan’s dying and what it means for the way forward for the Roys and Waystar.
