Not trying to get ahead of the plot, but it seems to me that since the kids are counting on their take from the company sale to pay for the Pierce acquisition, Logan has ways he can still screw with them. (At this point with this series I just expect that Logan is always going to yank the football away.)

As a dad, no, I hate the dad who destroyed his own children and won't stop dancing on their broken bodies worse than I hate the Pierces, it's kind of a primal thing

some filmic flourishes in the ep which is always nice to see in a tv show roy kids leaving their prospective investors waiting by their cars then getting left waiting by their cars by the pierces

I said last night when Nan showed up, and I still believe this, that I hate the Pierces more than I hate the Roys, they're totally humorless
The semi-meta bit where Logan is clearly missing having the kids around because no one's roasting each other was pretty good

Greg's date had so many signs of spying (the questions about Connor's campaign, the oversized purse, another one or two I forget) that it will be weird if it doesn't go anywhere.
Also thought we were going to see a meeting between the Roys and some Saudi investors, after the mentions that the siblings were keeping that team waiting.

Yeah wasn’t it her Instagram tag that Kendall’s team picked up on?

It really wouldn't have fit the tone of the show but I would have loved it if the last shot were the Saudi investors standing outside their car still waiting

Connor so protective of his squeezed percent
― limb tins & cum (gyac), Monday, 27 March 2023 17:57 (one year ago) link
But I guess in the plot of the show, the Saudi's have off-camera been sweet-talked by Telly the banker into pivoting along with NewGenRoys to bankroll the Pierce acquisition?
“Apparently, Bun Pierce has been tagged on some girl's Insta at Dad's.”

any guesses as to supposed geographic locale of Pierce’s mansion? it looked very so. cal with color palette & palm trees but idk winery areas theresomeone online said Napa but it sure didn’t look napa to me, the suburban view below it was way too sprawling to me idk

was wondering the same, I assumed SoCal as well but the way Roman said "get back to LA" made it sound like they were farther away

Eazy is right.
From JFK to Eric Schmidt, the historic Villa Solana in Montecito has hosted some of the most influential people in history. Now, it's the backdrop of 'Succession' and a symbol of opulence and grandeur. #realestate #VillaSolana #Succession https://t.co/jztS1M4HEt— RobbReport (@RobbReport) March 27, 2023

i could have sworn that the reveal was going to be that the whole pierce acquisition was a plot by logan and tom to manipulate the kids into overpaying for a devalued property. i guess it still could have been? but probably not. still seems like a pretty fucking dumb move by the kids.
best bit was everyone's responses to logan forcing them to roast him. second best bit was conner desperately trying to cling to his one percent.
