There’s a big return in this week’s ‘Succession’—and a lot of drama as the Roy siblings and the company’s executives grapple with the aftermath of last week’s major death. Warning: Spoilers ahead.

Though he runs Pierce with his siblings, Kendall wastes no time pitching himself as the interim CEO. Shiv and Roman are aghast—until Roman weasels himself into the COO position, leaving poor Shiv on the sidelines.. She’s not as fun to watch as idiots like Roman and Connor, nor as lovable as doofuses Tom and Greg.
Tom tries to win her back. She rejects him. Even Marcia, who has faced nothing but cruelty from Shiv, tries to extend an olive branch. Shiv rejects her. Near the end of the episode, as Shiv has been pushed out of Waystar by her two closest allies, Shiv takes a big fall down two stairs.

-A subtle but brilliant roast from Willa: As she and Connor enter, Marcia congratulates the newlyweds. “Look how far you’ve come,” Marcia says, a dig at Willa’s callgirl origins. But Willa seems to be born with more Roy blood than Logan’s widow. “Look at us-Alas, Marcia gets the last laugh when Kerry shows up uninvited. Kerry demands her things back from Logan’s room. “They’re in a bag,” Marcia says, bluntly, before the bag arrives and Kerry is pushed to leave.
