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 airplane with Tom to fulfill Matsson. Logan needs to fireplace Gerri… and he needs Roman to provide her the unhealthy information. It’s clearly a loyalty take a look at, and Roman swallows laborious and says he’ll do it. At the marriage, 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 just happened to be a huge wealth creator. They don’t mention that in Mr. Dickens’ books” — whereas Roman works up the nerve to tug Gerri apart.
(*3*)Right away, 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 Department of Justice and the massive effective they needed to pay, he says, however she says she labored her ass off for him. “You just lost his confidence,” Roman concludes, assuring her she’ll be nicely compensated and attempting to say he’s sorry. But an indignant Gerri simply storms off, leaving Roman to go away his dad a voicemail: “Are you kind of just being s–tty to me?… That’s the question: Are you a cunt?”
Kendall arrives as Connor is complaining in regards to the “inadequate” 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 telephone 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. But 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 employees is doing their greatest to revive him, however Frank places his telephone to Logan’s ear so Kendall and Roman can discuss to their dad, “in case it’s the last chance.” A shellshocked Roman tells Logan, “You’re a monster. You’re gonna win,” and Kendall chokes out: “I love you. I do… I can’t forgive you. But yeah, it’s OK, and I love you.” Kendall runs and tells Shiv, and he or she runs to the telephone crying, telling Logan, “I love you… don’t go, please not now.” But 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 telephone that he needs Logan’s physician and “the best f–king heart doctor in the world,” 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 plane, son.” Kendall asks if Logan is useless, and Frank isn’t positive, however “I think he went.” Kendall will get choked up and hangs up, and Shiv is upset that nobody advised her sooner. Roman is dazed and may’t even bear in mind what he mentioned to Logan (“Did I say I loved him?”), and so they understand they should inform Connor. They pull him apart and inform him they assume Logan could also be useless. “Well, is he?” Connor coldly responds, working by a variety of sophisticated 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 look at Logan; he’s not formally been declared useless but, he says, “so f—king stop!”
On the airplane, Karolina begins to make preparations for the worst, and Kerri is shaking and clearly in shock, saying, “That was so f—king weird.” Tom calls Greg and tells him he wants to go away the marriage and go into the workplace “because Logan is dead.” They must preserve this quiet for now as a result of Waystar’s inventory might tank, Tom warns, including, “I’m not OK. I’m sad… I lost my protector.” (He does need it identified, although, that he was with Logan when he died.) Hugo presents his condolences, however Roman nonetheless gained’t settle for he’s useless: “What if it’s a big f—king test?” The legal professionals are beginning to draft a press release, however the Roy siblings aren’t prepared to speak about that but. They begin to struggle amongst themselves — Shiv wonders if they will circle the airplane for a bit whereas they determine the right way to deal with this, whereas Roman needs them to land instantly so a health care provider can see Logan — as Kendall reminds them that “what we do today will always 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 dead, and I feel old.” He asks her level clean if she’s simply with him for his cash, and he or she admits there’s one thing to be mentioned for “money and safety… but I’m happy. I am.” She vows to not depart him… “not today, anyway.” Kendall begins speaking funeral plans (“We could do Reagan’s, with tweaks”), and he confers with Roman and Shiv in regards to the GoJo sale. Do they undergo with it, or “keep our options 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 airplane is arriving and a press convention awaits. (Roman asks in the event that they’re going to be OK, and Kendall replies they’ll, earlier than they joke that they’re truly screwed.) Shiv takes the lead, saying 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 function will probably be, Shiv says, “We intend to be there.” As Waystar’s inventory worth 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 just some visitors, whereas Shiv and Tom take a automotive residence collectively and Kendall stays again to observe his father’s physique get loaded into an ambulance.
Whoa… when you’re accomplished processing that intense hour of tv, be part of us within the feedback under to share your ideas on Logan’s loss of life and what it means for the way forward for the Roys and Waystar.
