succession s4 e3 recap: i just called to say are you a cunt? 2/2
part 1
how are we dealing so far? personally, i am not.
tom calls his boyfriend with the news of logan's death, which turns out to be a huge mistake because greg is a dipshit with no poker face and a simp for journalist ass.
guys, i even feel bad for tom. wtf is this episode.
roman is still in denial.
the genius of the writers confirmed: i spent ages wondering if it was real myself, since we never really saw logan and it felt unreal. so thanks for the torture, i guess.
just as the kids receive news they have stopped doing compressions, the ship leaves the dock.
stress level: uncut gems.
hugo is here.
if i saw this man on the worst day of my life i would jump ship.
he informs the sibs that the board is drafting a statement and the reactions are who tf asked.
we see a shift from grief to strategy. new leadership means they need to position themselves.
tom wants people to know he was with logan as he died. karl, gerri and frank need their name on the statement. and although the healthy thing probably would be to grieve in peace, the kids need to stake their claim too.
calling a confrontation in a karaoke bar a family function is controlling the narrative. words are just complicated airflow.
this screenshot is just in here because it has gerri in it.
roman continues his denial tour, this time featuring gerri.
bla bla bla the marked bla bla bla stock prices bla bla shiv casually suggests they leave the plane in the air for a while because of business.
shoot logan into deep space for all i care.
inside you there are two wolves: one who cares about legacy and one that is suicidal.
in this scenario, i would be connor:
actually, i'm shiv, turns out:)))
i'm sure the mommy issues comes as a surprise to no one.
kendall is on the funeral planning commitee.
"funeral off the rack" was the alt title of this week's recap.
and then, just as roman has pointed out they can just be children who have lost their fathers, who need to grieve, rumors of logan's health leak.
fucking greg.
i'm always here for a good sibling huddle.
how "inspirational quote on a boomer facebook group" of them to believe they are actually needed at waystay.
don't stop believing and all that.
i repeat, don't stop believing:
you go, gerri, give him nothing!!!!:(
the way she looked so concerned for them when she entered the room:(( but then he acted like an asshole:((( and now everything is horrible:((((
WE ARE LOSING THE LESBIANS!
DOSE OF FANFIC NEEDED, STAT!
help
help!!!
indeed. how will i ever survive the six days leading up to the next episode?
(it's fanfiction, the answer is fanfiction)
i know that hugo referred to the journos when he said he had briefed "their friendliest" but i like to believe he's talking about shiv.
guys, i'm so drained.
more business. logan is the stock price. anthropomorphic shit that would probably mean something if i cared enough to focus on logan rn.
HUG!!!!!
at this point, it seems impossible that these three will turn on each other, but a lot can happen in seven episodes.
roman's adhd brain needs visual conformation.
this is very important, says woman who forgets the produce if it's at the back of the fridge.
connor wins this episode.
he got his way: statue of liberty, weirdly patriotic band, no cake.
the healthiest relationship in this show is the one that is openly transactional.
speaking of transactional relationships: shiv goes home with tom under the pretense that he has to explain to her the details of what happened on the plane.
what are we thinking? is there hope? (of course not) do we care? (i do, i do a little)
we end on kendall alone and the siblings separated. bad omen.
"i'll be broken when you die"
we await an unpredictable road ahead, friends. buckle up, fuckleheads.
