Succession Season 4 Episode 7 Tailgate Party
Hoping to work the angles on the GoJo deal, Kendall and Roman ask Shiv to invite a political insider to Logan’s annual pre-election day party. Later, Connor considers whether to adjust his ambitions after receiving intel from the Mencken team, while Kendall and Roman catch wind of a potentially fortuitous scandal.
After tonight’s episode of Succession, we only have three more weeks until the series ends. Like me, you’re likely asking yourself what you even even want to happen by the time Succession wraps its final episode—let alone how it will actually end. We got a taste of what, ultimately could lead to each character’s downfall last episode. Honestly, it’s still anyone’s game, which is both very exciting and incredibly worrisome. So much is riding on how series creator Jesse Armstrong pulls off the ending of Succession. An unsatisfying conclusion, at least in the minds of the show’s fans, could dampen the legacy of one of the most popular HBO series of the last decade. Just ask Game of Thrones.
As we get closer to the end, the Roy siblings can taste it so badly that they’re going mental. Kendall (Jeremy Strong) opens the episode by stating that his racist news organization is “making the world safe.” Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) continue to be incredibly toxic both together and apart, and Roman (Kieran Culkin) is threatening to fire anyone who challenges his authority. Hell, even Connor’s (Alan Ruck) presidential campaign is up from 1% to 6%. Con-heads unite! At least we get Connor back this week—we haven’t seen the man since his appearance in the wedding episode. “I’m jumping on the digital battle bus,” he tells us before quickly departing a lunch with his siblings.
This week, Greg (Nicholas Braun) is the most disheartening Roy family member to see standing on the precipice of complete collapse. Once a shining, bumbling knight, he’s now a Roy through and through. Early in this week’s episode, Tom makes Greg tells 100 employees that they’ve been let go over Zoom. Greg is also sitting in an ominous dark room, for some inexplicable reason. But The Legend of Cousin Greg—where an innocent boy rises from theme park mascot to ATN executive—hasn’t been the thrill ride Succession promised back in Season One. It seems like Succession has completely moved away from the possibility of a happy ending for Greg. He’s now just as complicit in WayStar’s worst controversies as anyone else.
