THE BLOODBATH BEGINS: Logan Roy’s Corpse Isn’t Cold Before the VULTURES Start Circling
The king is dead. Now, watch his children tear each other apart for the throne.
HBO’s “Succession” has delivered its most brutal episode yet, showing the Roy family’s grief instantly curdling into a vicious, backstabbing free-for-all. Forget mourning—this is a corporate WAR ZONE. The shock of Logan Roy’s death has barely faded before the knives come out, proving there is NO loyalty in this family, only a desperate scramble for power.
The evidence is on screen for everyone to see. Shiv Roy reads her own father’s glowing obituary and sneers, “Dad sounds amazing. I would like to have met dad.” Her brothers, Kendall and Roman, coldly translate the polite tributes, deciding “a man of his time” really means “racist.” This is how they honor their father—by immediately planning to DIMINISH his legacy to save the company’s stock price. And Kendall secretly approves it, calling it a move his father would have made. The hypocrisy is STAGGERING.
But the real battle is over a single, explosive document: Logan’s last wishes. Executives are shown literally JOKING about flushing the paper down a toilet. Why? Because it names a successor, and everyone is terrified of what it says. Meanwhile, the “alliance” between the Roy siblings is already SHATTERING. Shiv is being frozen out by Kendall and Roman in a secret plan for the CEO seat. When she demands her share, saying “I need to wet my beak,” her brothers’ fake smiles promise nothing but betrayal.
Who benefits? The soulless executives like Carl, who brutally insults Tom Wambsgans the moment Logan’s protection is gone. The returning widow, Marcia, who coldly throws Logan’s young girlfriend Kerri out onto the street. And the siblings themselves, each willing to sell out the others for a taste of power. The silence from those who claim to care is DEAFENING.
They aren’t mourning a father. They’re looting his empire.
