While Shiv and Roman prepare for the town hall meeting by vetting employee questions - “Can we get less question-y questions?” Roman asks - Kendall tries to enter the building and gets hassled by security. Kendall has made up his mind: He’s going into the Waystar office. Hmmm, maybe being a corporate martyr is Tom’s best move after all. He has “a dumb idea”: go to Logan and “offer myself up as the beating post.” She tells him he can’t do that… but it kind of sounds like she wants him to? The next day, Tom tells Logan, “I’ll step up and go down… I won’t wriggle.” Logan thinks it won’t come to that, but he seems genuinely touched by the offer. He blames the whole mess on “a few bad apples” and assures her, “You will not find a piece of paper that makes you ashamed of me.” When she gets home, Tom is drunk and fretting about going to prison. Shiv reports back to Logan, who wants to know why Shiv won’t make a public statement backing him. Everyone else is cringing, but he loves it: “This is being in the conversation.” In fact, he wants to go on her show and take some jabs in person.
(Better check your credit card limit, Greg.) Kendall also invites people to watch a very Ziwe-esque late-night host named Sophie (played by Ziwe!) making fun of him in her monologue. She insists she’s advocating for change from the inside, but he doesn’t buy it: “I’m sorry for you, Siobhan.” He goes home and parties it up with Greg, who thinks the $40,000 (!) watch Kendall gave him was a gift - but no, Kendall was just “hooking him up” with the sales guy. Inside, he finds Shiv, and she warns him to cool it with the interviews, since the Roys still need to maintain control of the company at the next shareholders’ meeting. Kendall and Naomi get dressed up for a big event, and he yells “F-k the patriarchy” (?) to the reporters gathered outside. (This is the guy who says “F-k off” all the time, right?) Tom sticks Greg into a crappy new office as punishment for siding with Ken, and Roman reluctantly agrees to an interview of his own in an effort to soften Logan’s image.

When the feds try to serve him a subpoena, he tells them to “f-k off,” but Gerri warns him he really should cooperate, or things could get worse. Kendall and Shiv both tried to embrace new roles this week on Succession - but neither venture really turned out how they thought it would.Īfter Kendall mocks Waystar and new CEO Gerri to a reporter, Logan is seething: “That rat steps one foot inside this building, I’ll punch him in the f–king nose.” Shiv suggests a town hall meeting to get Waystar employees up to speed (and to christen her new role as president), but Logan responds with a jerk-off motion.
