This wasn’t fairly the penultimate episode of Succession, however that’s coming subsequent week, and earlier than then, you’ll obtain one other Report Card from Brian Grubb. First, we’ve developing on “Election Evening,” and the primary one with out Logan Roy on the helm. One way or the other, they nonetheless haven’t buried the man (look ahead to it subsequent week), however tensions had been excessive for this episode, to say the very least.
Election evening was absolute chaos — except for the Fox Information-esque conduct of ATN through the election itself — with a malfunctioning touchscreen, a hearth in Milwaukee, one other combat between Shiv and Tom, and Greg letting it slip to Tom that Shiv is colluding with the Bleeding Swede, which is particularly attention-grabbing info to land after the horrible scorpion-snake fight. And that doesn’t even account for the “wasabi in my eyes!” scene. Alright, so it was lemon, however that’s nonetheless not a very good time.
Who had the worst evening? I’m gonna go together with Shiv. Between Tom accusing her of “sort-of killing” Logan and him kind-of not believing that she’s pregnant, and Kendall discovering out about her take care of Matsson, mannn. She’s gonna want much more remedy than she might most likely use on an everyday day.
General, folks had been so rattling nervous whereas watching the chaos unfold.
1) election plotlines nonetheless stress me the fuck out 2) Tom and Shiv proceed to steal each episode 3) the fucking lemon LaCroix is the funniest prop I’ve ever seen #Succession

That rattling contact display received issues began on the fallacious be aware:
Then there was the amped-up stress of Shiv revealing her being pregnant to Tom on Mom’s Day and Tom questioning if she was even telling the reality.
‘Twas fairly a night. Subsequent week: Logan’s funeral!
