I think it was pretty obvious the brother is backing the whistleblower.

Same here. Can't wait to hear the Oysters, Clams, and Cockles guys have fun with that one.

Agree on both statements! I still have it stuck in my head - my wife did too as we were both humming it this morning while getting ready and laughing.

OCC Podcast has been doing a pretty good job with this show - I'm glad they found a niche after GOT ended.

Another one that dives a little deeper than OCC is The Watch. And Afterbuzz TV After Show does a good job as well.

Lastly, how great of a line was "Grexit"?!? I was rolling after that.....

Born on the North Bank, King of the East Side
Fifty years strong, now he's rolling in a sick ride.
Handmade suits, raking in loot
Five-star general, y'all best salute
*****es be catty, but the king's my daddy.
Rock all the haters while he go roll a 'rati
Squiggle on the decks, Kenny on the rhymes

L to the O, G
Dude be the OG
A N, and he playin'
Playin' like a pro
L to the O, G
Dude be the OG
A N, and he playin'
Playin' like a pro

A1 ratings, 80k wine,
Never gonna stop baby, **** Father Time!
Bro, don't get it twisted, I've been through hell
But since I stan Dad, I'm alive and well.
Shaper of views, creator of news
Father of many, paid all his dues.
So don't try to run, your mouth at the king
Just shut up *****, and kiss the ring.

L to the O, G
Dude be the OG
A N, and he playin'
Playin' like a pro

When I say L you say O-G
L to the O - G
L to the Mother****in' OG."

Greg is the best! Look at him jammin.

Gonna make a prediction. As soon as Kendall took that dick pic, I had a feeling it would factor into the story at some point.

Now that Kendall has apparently dumped Naomi with zero mention of her, that pic is gonna come back and bite him in the ass. (I think she's purposely left unmentioned so people will forget about that picture and it will come as a shock/surprise to the audience as much as Kendall.)

I think secretly paying off the family of the victim last episode went a long way toward erasing his guilt. In his mind, money fixes everything. I did assume he'd still be with the Pierce girl, and it was odd that he'd already moved on from her, but dropping this new one because she said "awesome" too many times, and then ghosting her like that, felt incredibly on brand and very much "Kendall."

His conversation with Rhea really lets you in on what made him happier. It was the new girl. But the same thing that always brings him down did it again. When he was talking to the actress (sorry have no clue what her name was) she mentions that he always talks about his dad. Kendall is nothing without fatherly approval. When he introduced her to Logan and Logan just blew her off, that was the end of that girl right then and there. It didn't matter that he (Kendall) had just screwed up her job and gotten everyone mad or how she had made him feel because Daddy didn't approve. Sends him right back down into the death spiral.

What this episode did with Kendall was so great because after they just made you feel perhaps the most empathy for him you have all series, they remind you he's just an awkward privileged rich billionaire's son who makes ****ty raps.

What they've done with him the past 2 episodes was fantastic.

Well said and agree completely. Want to add that Jeremy Strong has done a fantastic job of bringing the great writing for his character to life. Just an incredible acting job - he has been killing it every week. I fully expect him to get the Emmy next year for whatever award he is up for (leading or supporting).

And for that matter, I'm expecting that Succession will be next years Fleabag and take home multiple.

I totally forgot about the best line of last night.

"Look at you fitting right in, like a camp counselor in my butt when I was 12."

I think I laughed out loud more in this episode than any others so far. Loved it.

I thought Roman's best line was when Kendall was walking back to do the audio recording for Logan and Roman said something like "you're up, oh hey you should tell that heart warming story of how you once tried to kill dad and steal the company from him..."

Had some more time for this episode to sink in, first off, so glad they've kept Holly Hunter around, she's been so good. She's playing all 3 kids, telling the what they want to hear. It was nice to see Shiv finally starting to play the game. Not just acting like a petulant child, she sees an angle to have someone else potentially take a fall, opening the door for her long term, biding her time in the short term. Her staying outside the company while this plays out is really smart, she is getting it. Even simple things like trying to get Tom to talk to Rhea, she's moving the chess pieces around, getting people to do things for her, just like Logan would do.

The show aired a couple days ago so I don't think spoiler tags matter at this point. The preview for next weekend with Tom going in front of Congress should be epic. Tom is spineless when in front of anyone that isn't Greg, could play out so many ways. Would love to see Tom pull off a hail mary, but it appears he denies knowing who Greg is in front of Congress so it's a lot more likely he gets his foot stuck in his mouth or tries to excuse himself to the bathroom a few times. Regardless, the awkwardness is going to hit 11 when Tom is getting questioned.

I'm thinking something happens and the whistleblower doesn't show up. Logan tells Greg that Ewan is a coward, perhaps he gets cold feet on this even though he says people wouldn't be wrong in talking about Logan similarly to Hitler with regard to Logan's personal responsibility to the climate crisis.

I would really hope we get to find out who ratf***er is, hearing a billionaire media CEO refer to a person more than one time on this show as ratf***er has been one of my favorite things.

And once again, this show keeps raising the stakes week after week, the fact all they got was an Emmy for writing is ludicrous, the acting and direction are so good. Don't get me wrong, Fleabag was great, but Succession is on a different level. I think too many people don't get that it's a comedy, I think if they played the music from Curb Your Enthusiasm over the opening and between scenes, people might finally understand.

This show has one of the deepest bench of quality actors i can recall in some time.
