One factor to like about “Succession,” as HuffPost senior reporter Marina Fang identified lately, is that not a lot time passes between moments and episodes.
So when the fourth episode, “Honeymoon States,” begins proper off at a memorial of types for Logan Roy (Brian Cox) on the Roy home, it was clear we’d be in for a jam-packed episode.
Marcia, Logan’s third spouse, epically dismisses Kerry, his assistant and lover, when she exhibits up after being instructed to not come. The sibs throw digs at their late father whereas studying obits. And everybody angles to take the highest spot at Waystar Royco.
On this chat, Taryn Finley, Candice Frederick and Erin E. Evans chat about all of the issues that occurred the day after Logan Roy died in “Succession.”
Connor Is Nonetheless Dwelling His Delusional Life
I actually laughed out loud when Connor stated he wished to purchase Logan’s home. Marsha stated she’d promote it for $60 million not less than, and Connor seemed like he was about to choke. They spit-shake on $63 million, and I’m instantly considering, “Does Connor have that a lot cash?” I do know he’s marketing campaign poor, however like he bought tens of tens of millions mendacity round? — Erin
It’s hilarious to me that Connor’s solely play right here is to purchase extra toys for himself. Why would he wish to dwell there, to say that he does? Is that this a play to maintain Willa? I imply, I get that. But additionally, such as you stated Erin, does he even have that cash? I actually began doing a little sloppy math in my head when that deal went down. Precisely how a lot do every of those siblings have??
Additionally: I believe it’s actually odd that whereas they’re principally at Logan’s memorial, all these very casual enterprise offers are taking place. No lawyer current, no notary, no paperwork, nothing that claims any of these items are authentic. They’re so silly, all of them. — Candice
Probably the most binding settlement was Marcia and Connor’s spit-handshake for the home! — Erin
That spit-handshake was the worst factor about this whole episode. I hope Connor’s account overdrafts and the home crumbles only for that. — Taryn
Proper?! I've a hunch that Connor goes to return to Marcia to hold out the deal and she or he’s going to faux that she has no thought what he’s speaking about. And I might dwell for that. — Candice

This Conspiracy Idea Would Make For An Epic ‘Succession’ Storyline
Okay, prepared for some wild conspiracy theories? I believe Gerri had one thing to do with Logan’s loss of life (sure, I'm nonetheless desirous about the murder idea), and that she bought messy Kerry to one way or the other deal with it, in order that her arms had been clear. I simply assume it’s very sus that Gerri was very clearly fired, however nonetheless has a stake in… something right here.
Additionally: I believe Frank and Carl doctored Logan’s letter as a result of it learn that Gerri needs to be named successor (and, let’s face it, none of them stand an opportunity in opposition to Gerri). By the point she walked in, they bought her to associate with their plan to collectively physician the letter in order that it seemed like Kendall would possibly (?) have been named successor. As a result of I believe they notice that if Kendall is known as successor, the siblings will simply cancel one another out, then one among them can take over.
Additionally: I believe Kendall’s title was completely crossed out, not underlined. — Candice
Candice, I'm residing for this idea. It complicates every little thing in the absolute best means for a present like this. I really like when one thing I’m not anticipating pops as much as change the sport. And with this idea, I’m on the lookout for each single hit that every little thing isn’t all because it appears. Plus, when Kerry dropped her purse, that was the FIRST factor I considered. Like, possibly there are some drugs in there that affected Logan. We solely have six extra episodes for them to resolve this! — Erin
Oh wow. This idea is nice. Kerry was to not be trusted from bounce. As a result of what are you actually doing with this previous ass man, Kerry? It’s not love, it’s not lust, so it must be scandal. She’s been opportunistic from the bounce.
Additionally, I can’t watch for Gerri and Roman to combat. I do know it’s coming. I wish to see a giant blow up and Roman calling her all of the infantile, evil names he can muster up. — Taryn
Roman’s “previous women” remark was so second-grade tantrum stage. He’s such a toddler. — Candice

Tom Is aware of He’s In Bother — And He Wants To Discover A New Protector
Tom, like everybody on this present, is simply attempting to get in the place he can slot in. That’s the one means I may clarify Shiv accepting her ding-dong brothers edging her out of being a successor. — Candice
Tom is aware of he’s in bother. The one purpose he’s even been round this lengthy is due to his weasel-like conduct that bought him in Logan’s good graces. Now that he’s lifeless, him and his shadow Greg are doing the identical dance attempting to remain related. The distinction there, nevertheless, is that Greg is household and Tom is within the strategy of divorcing from the household whereas nonetheless needing a life jacket.
He higher hope that’s his child Shiv is carrying so he not less than has some child daddy privileges. — Taryn
LMAO. And he higher work out find out how to be a stay-at-home dad as a result of if Shiv has it her means I’m certain she doesn’t need him wherever close to no matter Waystar Royco turns into. — Erin

That Marcia-Kerry Confrontation Was A+ Tv
I simply assume that it’s hilarious that these wealthy white persons are coping with the estranged spouse/new girlfriend drama after Logan’s loss of life. We haven’t seen Marcia all season, but when it’s time to assert what she feels is owed to her she exhibits up, and I’m not mad at it. I’m unsure what Kerry was considering exhibiting as much as the home like she didn’t already know the vitality wouldn’t be in her favor. That is the sort of drama I’ve solely seen at Black funerals so I’m residing. And when Marcia despatched for a “taxi to the subway so she will be able to go dwelling to her little residence,” I hollered. Tens throughout the board for that line alone. — Taryn
Marcia was elevated to icon standing after that line, as a result of it was delivered so coolly, with not one care on the planet. And Kerry doing absolutely the most with the tears! Woman, cease. Additionally, did anybody peep what was spilling out of her purse? In my head, I used to be considering, okay, is that coke? Is that a condom? I used to be simply very a lot enthusiastic about what’s contained in the purse of a lady who doesn’t appear to be about something. — Candice
I used to be squinting to see what was in that purse! Positively a number of stuff in there. And sure, that line from Marcia was simply, oh, so good. Like, a taxi to the prepare? Not even all the way in which to her residence. That’s epic stage dismissal and I used to be residing for it. — Erin

Shiv Is Pregnant And Her Subsequent Strikes Will Positively Be A Energy Play
I don't assume that that is Tom’s child. (Learn: I hope this isn't Tom’s child, as a result of I can’t stand to see him that completely satisfied). However I gasped when Shiv fell, as a result of THE BABY. I ponder if she’ll preserve it? I really feel like she in all probability received’t. — Candice
In Episode 1, when she was chugging seltzer, I instantly was like is Shiv pregnant? So I’m glad to see that storyline get picked up, or not less than hints of it. Candice, I additionally gasped when she fell. I hadn’t even considered it not being Tom’s child, however I might be right here for that drama. — Erin
I do know Shiv is about to let her frustration and ego lead her to get again at her brothers, however I would like mamas to relax if she’s about to maintain this child. Like Candice, I really feel like possibly she received’t, however on the similar time, I ponder if she does and makes use of her being pregnant as some kind of energy play like every little thing else appears to be on this present. — Taryn

The Logan Roy Obituaries Have been Far Too Good — However The Roy Siblings Roasted Him Correctly
“Enterprise genius,” Shiv reads from Logan’s obituary. “By no means paid a penny and U.S. taxes,” Roman quips again. I believed this scene was fairly genius, the entire Roy children throwing jabs at their father based mostly on flowery language in a number of of the obituaries. This jogs my memory that my favourite kind of obituary is a brutally sincere one, particularly for folk who're fairly rattling horrible. HuffPost’s obit of Rush Limbaugh suits that invoice, headlined: Rush Limbaugh, Bigoted King Of Discuss Radio, Dies At 70. We gotta be actual about these wealthy powerbrokers, and the Roy siblings’ oral digs at their dad actually go there. — Erin
Roman translating these obituaries gave me such life. One other a kind of it’s humorous as a result of it’s true gafs. — Candice
Additionally, Tom had some good one-liners, after all, in one other scene, remarking that Logan “died fishing his iPhone from a clogged bathroom.” Tom blames the clogged up bathroom on Frank, saying, “The person lives on Marvel Bread and steak frites. He hadn't had a shit for 20 years.” The writing right here is so good — and gross. — Erin

We Know Who Will Change Logan Roy — And It is About To Be Chaos
I really like that Roman was NOT on board with Kendall being named the successor… till he was additionally named a successor. As a result of these siblings are nothing in the event that they’re not deeply self-centered. — Candice
They’re so self-centered! I can not see Kendall and Roman as co-CEOs in any respect, and I positively can’t see Shiv simply sitting again and letting this deal journey out. I’m questioning what her subsequent transfer is gonna be. — Erin
I believe Shiv, like Kendall appears to be doing, is about to construct her personal chaotic alliance. As a result of she’s not placing up with this foolery. — Candice
Shiv is about to take her energy again within the subsequent episode. I really feel it. You may see her flailing from the second the board let Kendall know Logan talked about him as a successor. And, internally, you see Kendall flailing, too. They’re each going to make huge ego-driven choices within the subsequent few episodes (Kendall already has as he’s gone behind Roman’s again on the PR marketing campaign in opposition to Logan). It’s simply going to get uglier from right here earlier than it will get higher. However that’s what occurs after loss of life, proper? — Taryn
