HBO's Succession - Season 2 and Beyond

i think the execs are up to something

kerry’s scene was brutal

Gerri knows where the bodies are buried and if the boys try to fuck her over she’ll start throwing shit at them.

the set designer who stuffed kerry's bag with hum vitamins, a tub of laura mercier powder, and a (now broken) fenty compact as if she recently used logan's credit card during a sephora VIB rouge spree isn't being paid enough

tbf, Marcia is very likely blowing smoke wrt "nightly intimate conversations", what with her very timely return and all

she's probably been primed to play the grieving widow for years

totally, she is playing the game

Maybe but she disappeared quietly and definitely also knows tons of shit.

> we see the execs agree that the document with kendalls name on it should be lost

Recommend re-watching this scene. I don't think Kendall's name was the thing they were most worried about.

lol why dont you just say yr lil document theory

i think it was frank who looked at it and said something like "I'm not going to let that little princess spoil it", presumably meaning he left something big to Kerry or Shiv

i heard it as "the little princes"

I thought that was just derogatory of Kendall

he def says princess but yeah could be referring to kendall which i think they were cause then they start talking about the underline and about how legally its up to the board to decide whos next, so you have the underline you have the ceo succession question seems like theyre talking about the kendall thing, but it still doesnt explain their change of heart, one minute theyre jockeying for the ceo spot and talking about losing the document then next theyre telling kendall about it and rolling over for him, theyre up to something

Going to be a bloodbath in the markets, might just let him take the flak. Plus who knows what they know about that they might want to palm off on the kids.

They probably think he’ll shoot himself in his foot.

or maybe they have a plan to actively sabotage him, do they want the sale to go through or do they want to run the company

he def says princess

the captioning says princess but it does sound like he says princes idk if captions have access to the script or theyre just trying their best

also maybe hes referencing the book the little prince

Agree something is up. But I don't feel like "princess" would be a reference Frank would make re Kendall.

Do we think the deals gonna go through

And the kid is not Toms, right.

yeah was thinking that

Not that it will come back, but season 2 or 3 had hints that a true crime podcast was getting closer to connecting Kendall with the s1 drowning. And it seems like Geri could get Roman sacked for harassment anytime.

and feeling the deal is gonna get fucked up mattson is gonna smell blood

Sounds like the execs are up to something

I don't feel like "princess" would be a reference Frank would make re Kendall.

agreed, i have amended my stance on the princess/princes situation, see above

Already said this but after last weeks great episode and then this week which was equally masterful—and lol a bottle episode—I have high hopes for the ending, feel like it’s gonna be perfect and make sense tho I have no idea what’s gonna happen

Yeah Kendall’s almost gotta get his comeuppance via the dead waiter

idk the show is pretty clear on plebs not mattering

"no real person involved" iirc

right, and i trust theyll stick to that because theyre british

Doctor says something about "our journey" to Shiv which makes me think it might be donor sperm not Tom

it’s a 20 week checkin with the doctor so shiv is pretty far along, imo! far enough for aling it to be feasible that it IS tom’s, circa pre-tuscan betrayal imo

would love it if kerry turns out to be preggo too

far enough *along for* it

Also Shiv's falling on the stairs for no good reason. Could it be foreshadowing a miscarriage

i feel like that was more to show how flustered & in her feelings she was about ken & rom as co-ceo’s

like we know, but they really want us to know

I heard "princess" as well, so I was expecting Shiv to be on the paper.

same

and I def don't buy Frank referring to Ken as "princess"

What “bad stuff on dad” was ken talking to Hugo about at the end?

I think he was just referring to the option Hugo had just laid out for the kids which they rejected. Like that Logan was becoming incompetent etc

Karl uses the word "princess" iirc? Could be wrong. That also led directly into a vent about Gerri blocking him and him wanting out with his financial package and going to that island investment.

i watched it again and it does sound like princes the captioning says princess tho

guys

srsly

this is important

The Princess Diaries

i found last night's ep p excruciating, not in a bad way, but even though these characters are mostly amoral heels it is kind of painful to watch them selfishly and ineptly wander into oblivion. greg's running commentary of kerry's arrival at the house was gruelling - felt p sorry for kerry, tho obviously marcia's twisting of the knife was, i guess, justified, at least in her eyes. the ending is going to be super-bleak, isn't it?

I enjoyed this fine, last week tough to follow. But also found myself feeling that ending it with S4 was a good call. Some of the dynamics felt a bit familiar (although I feel this show will have at least one epic rug-pull lined up before the finale).
