(In a further dig, he then asks Kendall of Iverson, “Is he getting better?”) And although he seemed willing to buy his son out before, he hesitates now that he has a counteroffer in hand. This is icy not only because it demonstrates a lack of trust but also because Logan seems blithely willing to sacrifice his grandson. He calls in Kendall’s autistic son, Iverson, to taste his food, to make sure it isn’t poisoned. “I won’t even speak at your memorial,” he says.īut Logan won’t play along. He also promises to stay out of Logan’s life forever. He will cash out of Waystar for two billion dollars while keeping one of the company’s media assets for himself. (“Afraid I’m going to Jim Jones you with an olive?” Kendall jokes.) And he prepared a reasonable proposal. He consulted with Logan’s doctor to make sure the menu fit with his dad’s restricted diet. Kendall has given this meeting a lot of thought. The third strike to Kendall’s psyche - the finisher - comes when he has dinner with Logan. The problem? The hosts are going to dig deep into all the family scandals … including the death of the cater-waiter whom the media thinks Logan bullied to death but whom Kendall actually drove into a lake at Shiv’s wedding. A popular podcast is investigating “the Curse of the Roys” and would love to have him participate. The second comes when Kendall is talking with Comfry about some last-ditch opportunities to keep his crusade against corporate malfeasance alive in the media. That is the first blow to Kendall’s confidence. His hair is buzzed down to stubble - “stripping down,” he says - and he seems determined to make peace with his siblings and to settle his Waystar business.īut as soon as Kendall arrives, his mother pulls him aside and tells him about Peter’s awful “itinerary of events,” asking if her son can help divvy them up in such a way that he won’t be in the same space as Logan - per Logan’s request. He appears to be on a mission to straighten out his life after last week’s calamitous birthday party.

This week, Kendall joined his family in scenic Italy for the wedding of Caroline and her old flame Peter Munion (Pip Torrens). It’s the same people who brought him into this world: his mother, Caroline (Harriet Walter), and his father, Logan. (Surely the show wouldn’t kill off a major character in such an ambiguous way?) We do know, though, who is responsible - in a roundabout way - for putting Kendall into that pool. Whether this is a literal or figurative death remains unresolved when the closing credits roll. From the camera’s perspective, it appears his face is also submerged. From underwater, in a shot aimed toward the pool’s surface, we see Kendall drop his bottle of beer into the water. At the end of this week’s episode of “Succession,” Kendall Roy is floating on an inflatable raft in a swimming pool, face down and clearly intoxicated.
