It isn’t everyday that a TV show can pull off a massive surprise without having that news spoiled, but Succession delivered a one-two punch with “Connor’s Wedding.” The Roy siblings receive the shock of a lifetime and in a matter of moments their whole lives change. It’s an episode that had Succession fans raving, and for good reason. It’s a stunning hour of television.
The bombshell episode of Succession kicked off with Logan Roy (Brian Cox) dropping a bombshell of his own on Roman (Kieran Culkin): fire Geri (J. Smith-Cameron). Roman, who was already surprised that Logan is choosing business (as in going to see Matsson about the GoJo deal) over his son’s wedding, is understandably shaken by this edict, but Logan wants to know that his youngest son is with him. While he initially says that having Roman deliver the head’s up to Geri is best because of their close relationship, it’s really a test to make sure that Roman truly is Team Logan.
