After Shiv asks Tom about what to do with Matsson. Tom wins the game and earns Shiv’s respect and admiration. Instead, he gladly accepts a game of “Bitey,” where two people bite each other until one gives up. Now having a bit more of a spine than seasons past, Tom doesn’t give away how this bothers him. Shiv teases Tom about who he wants to hook up with at the party before dropping the truth bomb, “You were the one after the one.” The reunion becomes official later on at a rooftop party where they have an insane flirt-off by tearing the other apart. Then, his hands start to wander up and down her back, and they kiss. Together, they begin a strange, hilarious, and kind of sexy healing process for their marriage. This time, Tom ( Matthew Macfadyen) accidentally wanders in. She’s incapable of showing emotions in front of anyone, so she needs them to cry in private. Since Logan’s death, she’s been “scheduling her grief” by booking rooms. It leaves her isolated and excluded.ĭirector Lorene Scafaria returns…with another excellent job.Īfterward, Shiv goes to a conference room to let out her emotions. She puts Shiv in the corner of a large conference table and frames her between people’s heads and her brothers. When the exec team leaves the room, she confronts her brothers.ĭirector Lorene Scafaria returns here with another excellent job, especially in this scene. Roman ( Kieran Culkin) and Ken try to convince the others that they shouldn’t sell to an unstable “Human Chernobyl” like Matsson. We then fly back to the west coast, where the Roys and the execs meet up at Waystar Studios. She agrees, and Matsson blows her a kiss as he leaves. He also asks her to be his inside gal on the Waystar side. In a flirtatious exchange, Matsson tells Shiv he wants nothing to do with the “land cruise” that is Living+. Instead, she gets Matsson to go to her, walking barefoot on what I assume is very hot asphalt. They are sitting on neighboring planes on a tarmac when Shiv gets a call requesting she visit his aircraft. Meanwhile, Shiv ( Sarah Snook) is busy getting GoJo CEO, Matsson ( Alexander Skarsgård) under her thumb. He asks to rewatch it since hearing Logan insult him is like “a Valentine’s card.” Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong have an akimbo off. Moreover, the insult doesn’t seem to bother Kendall. Thankfully, no such monster bursts forth. Cue Logan crawling out of the TV to strangle his second child. Ferocity twists the patriarch so noticeably that it convinced me the show would pull a Ring. When Logan bristles at some gentle directing heard off-camera, he spits out, “You’re as bad as my idiot kids!” The footage pauses on Logan looking directly at Kendall. Unfortunately, it is a metaphorical prison of commerce not far from what Disney is developing with their terrifying Storyliving neighborhoods. It’s pitched as a “community” where people can live in a secure housing development while enjoying wall-to-wall Waystar content. They’re launching a product called Living+. He’s watching the raw footage that Logan recorded, presumably right before his death, for an upcoming shareholders meeting. Kendall ( Jeremy Strong) stares at the screen, being judged from beyond the grave by his father, Logan ( Brian Cox). In true Succession style, the series goes there this week but not with a specter appearing out of the mist but rather shrilling for a new product in front of a green screen. Still, there’s nothing more Shakespearean than a hero confronting the ghost of his father. If you squint hard enough, one can even compare Bluey to Hamlet. Succession has frequently received the label “Shakespearean.” In many ways, it’s a term that has lost some significance.
