Sunday night time’s episode of “Succession” captured a lot in simply over an hour. Kendall (Jeremy Sturdy), Roman (Kieran Culkin) and Shiv (Sarah Snook) make their approach to Norway with “the Grays” to safe the sale of Waystar Royco — minus ATN — to Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård).
I can solely think about that these have been wild boars roasting on the fireplace, a callback to the notorious “boars on the ground” episode in Season 2.
Audiences see Matsson disarm and outmaneuver Kendall and Roman all through the negotiations, with Shiv on their heels seemingly making energy performs all her personal. It was a jam-packed episode, with numerous little moments that we have to put a pin in to be careful for revelations within the coming episodes.
Be part of Candice Frederick, Ruth Etiesit Samuel and Erin E. Evans in a chat about Sunday’s episode.

The One 'Succession' Character We're Stunned Is not On The Kill Listing
Tom is NOT on the kill record? How? What's that play? I like how Tom is quietly segregated away from the individuals who matter in, like, each scene (the blocking on this present is fabulous). However particularly on the finish on the aircraft, the place he appears so cool and picked up. What does he know??? The names on the record don’t actually shock me. It’s the names which might be on the record. Additionally: Frank and Carl’s reactions to everybody’s title right here LOL. — Candice
THAT was stunning. I don’t know why they're retaining him, as a result of Tom’s remarks (extra like, phrase salad) about France to Matsson have been…unimpressive, however um, he made it by the pores and skin of his enamel. Lest we neglect the chameleon Greg. As a result of what on the earth?! — Ruth
Who paid for Greg’s flight? — Candice
Wait, LMAO, nah however for actual. That’s a hilarious however superb query. This man is hanging on to the crew by a thread. I used to be making an attempt to make Tom not being on the kill record make sense indirectly. Let’s say Shiv was really actually chatty with Matsson; is there a method that financially it’d be higher for him to have a high-paying job once they break up? Possibly Shiv secretly doesn’t need to lower him off on the knees now. I don’t know! But in addition, you’re proper, Ruth; Tom’s interplay with Matsson was such a scorching mess. — Erin
I'm very curious concerning the state of Shiv and Tom’s marriage, which I all the time thought was a play — for Tom… and kinda Shiv too. However him not being on the record, and their entire alternate this episode, is giving me a variety of pause. — Candice

So What’s Actually Going On With Tom And Shiv Now?
I needed to rewind when Tom flicked Shiv’s earlobe and described it as “barnacle meat.” He lastly morphed right into a full-on psychopath in that second for me. Is he going to go Hannibal Lechter on her?? After which she requested him out? WHAT IS HAPPENING? — Candice
Actually, once more, I used to be screaming. The stress between them is exceptional. — Erin
“Barnacle meat” is such a loopy pairing of phrases. The writers are wild for that one. My first thought was that the “altercation” was not going to look favorable in divorce court docket, however alas, Tom is the newborn daddy (I feel), so there’s that. Regardless of Shiv referring to the deal as “The Nice Escape” on the flight, Tom is so clearly fearful about his future and his finest pursuits. When he was referred to as “Tom of, um, Siobhan?” I assumed it was a wrap. Nobody takes that interloper severely. — Ruth
My gawd… if Tom is the daddy of that child… I simply image that second in “Rocky” when Sylvester Stallone runs up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Artwork. He would really feel like an actual winner, and I completely can't have that. — Candice

The Pissing Match Between Roman And Matsson Was Unimaginable TV
As all the time, I ask: Is that this a play? As a result of I really feel like everyone seems to be doing a little form of play right here — some good, most not. Roman lashing out at Matsson was reckless and was giving very “I’m wealthy and don’t care anymore” vibes. In the meantime, Kendall’s face whereas this was all taking place. Like, okay little bro, on to the following factor. Actually? Was this deliberate? — Candice
I laughed so onerous when Matsson mentioned, “I’m making an attempt to make you all wealthy,” and Kendall mentioned, “We already are.” I’m sorry, however it was simply such an obnoxious alternate that might really, solely occur between insolent wealthy white individuals. Like, think about. — Ruth
It’s Kendall’s self-satisfied facial response there for me. — Candice
One other callback to an earlier episode: Roman talked to Matsson when he was peeing when he first met, after which this huge second, once more, whereas Matsson’s pissing. I assumed Kieran Culkin’s performing on this scene was in all probability the perfect of the sequence. EMMY! EMMY! EMMY! — Erin

Matsson Principally Calls Roman And Kendall ‘Unserious Individuals’
A whole lot of that is high-level RWPS (wealthy white individuals shit) for me, so a few of this flew over my head TBH. However what I do know is that Matsson was not right here for Roman and Kendall’s “tribute band,” calling them out on the very apparent undeniable fact that they do not really don’t know do enterprise. Matsson is so assured, in his personal area, and completely has the drop on these guys. However he enjoys taking part in them for the clowns that they're. I laughed when Kendall tried to jab him with “have to be funnier with subtitles.” — Candice
Matsson’s dig at Kendall making an attempt to run that media startup Vaulter was particularly good. He is aware of he can’t run a enterprise and goes to remind him each probability he will get. I additionally discover it fascinating that Roman should have mentioned it at the least 5 instances within the episode: Dad wished to maintain ATN. He eagerly needs to honor his dad’s needs in order that made it actually clear for me that he was finally going to go OFF on Matsson. Additionally, I really like-hate how this present so usually jogs my memory of actual media conversations and offers that occur. Acquisition, leaders stepping down, huge controversies — I’m anxious to see the fallout from these dangerous Logan moments — all form of begins to blur collectively. — Erin
Like Shiv mentioned, why are they (learn: Roman) so hellbent on preserving Logan’s needs? I worry Roman, notably, remains to be making an attempt to make his dad proud — regardless that it’s far too late for that (and he would not anyway). — Candice
When Matsson and his colleagues began talking in Swedish and primarily referred to the Roys because the inbred Habsburgs, I yelped. One factor Matsson has is absolutely the nerve. Providing a greenback for everything of ATN? Referring to them as “a tribute band” and calling the model “information for offended previous individuals?” Whew. Now, Roman snapped on him, which I feel was a manifestation of each grief and frustration, however Matsson actually got here again with an “plain” supply of $192 per share. – Ruth
Earlier than he even completed his supply, I used to be like… he’s going to ask to purchase it for only one greenback, isn’t he? Gawd, I really like him. — Candice

Why You At all times Have To Maintain Your Eyes On Shiv’s Quiet Energy Performs
It’s the best way Shiv simply quietly give up on this episode for me. Her two dimwit brothers are VERY busy “studying paperwork,” she’s strolling round donning about three completely different coats and a everlasting smirk. She additionally tells them to tank a deal they’re sweating over, sends pics to the enemy (Matsson), asks her foolish ex husband out on a date (for funsies?). She was complete chaos. Is it a play? I’d wish to suppose so. However she was VERY busy doing the naked minimal, and I’m right here for that play. — Candice
That is my favourite Shiv. I needed to watch a number of of her moments a pair instances simply to seize her facial expressions. I positively suppose it's all an influence play. She referred to as Matsson out in a short time: “Fuck him and his dude-bluff” and instantly I knew she was quietly taking notes and taking names. That smirk on the finish of the episode? Priceless. — Erin
When Shiv mentioned that they have been simply “studying paperwork” in response to Kendall’s hyperbole, I snorted. Pinky looks as if she’s pissed that her brothers lower her out and now, she’s decided to take them down, slowly however certainly. Furthermore, regardless of her father’s disdain for her, Shiv tries to reassert all through that episode that her brothers will all the time want her. Be it her skill to look well-adjusted in terms of bantering with the enemy or getting the grime on Matsson, I’m desirous about seeing how her journey goes from right here. — Ruth

A 'Succession' Character Despatched His Love Curiosity Blood — And We're Flabbergasted
My God. I actually needed to pause and rewind that scene. I used to be so confused. Does Matsson have a…blood kink? Why was he sending Ebba blood? What was the rationale?! Like, I don’t suppose I’d be flattered to obtain anybody’s blood past a life-or-death hospital process. My mouth was agape. Some of us on-line allege that Matsson’s story wasn’t actual, however fairly an try at faux-vulnerability. Primarily based on the look of downtrodden disgrace he had on his face after Shiv requested who he despatched the liters of blood to? I dunno, mans appeared critical. — Ruth
Is that this the best way obscenely wealthy white individuals flirt? — Candice
One factor about this present? I query all the pieces! Was that story a joke? Like, was he testing Shiv? I simply stored considering ain’t no method. Ain’t no rattling method that is actual. Like, how sick are you able to be? He did say one factor he appreciated about Shiv was that she might take a joke – so perhaps this was one among them?
Oh, additionally, Matsson’s hugs to start with of the episode have been so aggressive. Like he banged everybody’s physique in opposition to his. So loudly. — Erin
LOL Alexander Skarsgård is an precise mountain. Bless him.
The way in which Shiv simply walked away from that alternate, completely chill about it. I'd have been frightened. — Candice

Connor, The Eldest Son, Cannot Do Something With out Stressing About It
Inform me why he couldn’t at the least deal with this ONE factor with out stressing out about it. Fairly actually the least vital factor in the entire episode. — Candice
I actually have by no means been so irritated with a personality in a single episode. I used to be screaming on the TV like…this man needs to be president? Poor Willa; I can’t think about what she offers with that man. I did need to say to myself although, of COURSE, that is the disaster of all crises for him. He’s a multitude! — Erin
I actually forgot he was on this episode. Sorry to that man. However I'll say, I'm deeply unsurprised that Marcia’s claws are everywhere in the funeral. I don’t know why Connor thought it was a good suggestion to ship a photograph to Roman, who has actually blocked out and refused to course of his grief, after his brother explicitly advised him to not. — Ruth

The Episode Opener Is A Good Callback To Season 1 Kendall
That opening positively gave Season 1 Kendall: overzealous, overconfident and irrationally daring. Logan’s No. 1 boy believes he’s in charge of the reins now. As I’ve identified earlier than, it’s so fascinating that every time Kendall makes an attempt to chart a brand new course for himself, ostensibly separate from his father, he adopts a really…culture-vulture aesthetic. The query, as all the time, is whether or not Kendall is a more in-depth. As a result of each time he will get near engaging in one thing — be it a hostile takeover or a deal — he fumbles the bag. — Ruth
Effectively, Kendall isn’t really able to operating any enterprise, however he presents extraordinarily nicely at doing simply that. However I knew as soon as I heard hip-hop, I assumed, “Kendall is on his approach to do a really dangerous factor very badly.” And I used to be right. — Candice
I instantly wished him to begin rapping the lyrics, however simply because I discover it cringingly correct of dudes … like him. Within the after-show, they point out the way it’s a callback to the primary episode when Kendall goes into the workplace and considering he’s about to be named successor. I really like moments like that. — Erin
