Kendall is one of the most complex characters I've seen in TV, and while at times I can't stand him when he's at his best he's the real deal. Last episode I had some worries that he was turning back to his season 3 side and getting ahead of himself with his vision for Living+, but with this episode I'm starting to feel the killer Kendall that went for his Dad's crown in season 1. Now that Kendall got the information from Abba that could seriously hurt Mattson, he now has a trump card to turn over people including Frank who wanted nothing to do with Ken's idea at first glance. We could see a reunion of that dynamic from season 1 when Frank was right behind Kendall in the no confidence vote against Logan, and to me as of right now we're seeing a Kendall that is a killer. And if he can somehow pull off buying gojo and making Waystar bigger than it ever was with his father, then that'd make him the ultimate killer his father wanted him to become that we though he was at the end of season 2.
Now it won't be as easy as it's being shaped out to be right now, and there would have to be more people on board like Karl who pretty much threatened Kendall that if he messed up the deal he'd explode. But with this information a lot could change in Kendall and Roman's favor.
Moving on to the performances that stole the show, Sarah Snook and Matthew Macfadyen gave it their all in this episode. Finally after the events of All The Bells Say where Tom finally stood his ground against Shiv, they both let it all out in a conversation that was extremely necessary even if it was ugly. And while I think Tom was in the right to betray Shiv, I can't blame Shiv for having the mindset that Tom might've been with her just for her last name. But even then I still can't stand with Shiv because she's done Tom so much wrong in the series. Pressuring him into an open relationship on their wedding night, not paying much mind into the possibility that he'd go to prison, never being as transparent as she should've been throughout the series, along with much more. Not to say Tom has been a perfect partner but he has done much more for Shiv than anyone in that family and I'm glad he's finally standing his ground.
It's great to see that we will be getting to see the funeral of Logan and as of right now it'll be Roman giving a eulogy it seems. I don't understand why all of the kids can't speak but I'd love for it to happen because I think they all need to finally get out of their dad's leash and let everything out.
It seems that Gerri and Roman are officially done and that bridge has been burned but it's safe to say that's for the best. Roman tried to go on a power trip to the person that would've had his back the most and he got what was coming. Things could get dangerous knowing she's made some big requests and Roman's in a tough position with the things he sent her but he shot himself in the foot, and if things escalate even further then I can't be mad knowing he put himself in that position.
Also it was amazing to see Greg and Mattson bond for a little bit even if it was at the expense of Abba. Kendall looked like a proud father watching from above and while it's not a change for the better, it's hilarious to see the progression of Greg throughout this series as he's fully embraced the lifestyle of being a Roy. In his words, "Who needs a soul anyway?"
It's so difficult to fathom that there are only 3 episodes left after this. Things are about to reach an all time high and this episode showed the things to come. Shiv putting herself in between a rock and a hard place, Kendall potentially becoming the Killer we thought he was at the end of season 2, and Tom might finally be free even though it might've been at the cost of his position in the future. I can't wait to see what's next as we enter the final 3 episodes of Succession.
