Have you ever observed that despite being a show about deal-makers, very few transactions are ever closed on “Succession”? Any significant power grab or acquisition always looks to be 48 hours away.
There are always a few more wrinkles to work out, a few more board stragglers to bring on board, a few more sweeteners for the main shareholders, etc. How many times have the main characters truly signed on the dotted line throughout this series?
One comes to mind: the union of Siobhan Roy and Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen). Even though, Shiv blew the bargain by informing Tom she wanted an open marriage on the couple’s wedding night.
Tom decided to remain in the mix when given the option of either having no wife or a wife who was barely a wife in the hopes that Shiv would one day wake up and realize she had already found her true love. Tom, however, has not found it easy to endure the series of humiliations over the previous few years.
The couple is about to file for divorce as Season 4 begins. These two, however, are unable to fully complete their task of terminating a contract. The focus of both half of this animated and incredibly amusing season four debut of the show is Tom and Shiv.
Tom is beginning to understand that his father-in-law may only value him as a tool to keep an eye on his disobedient children after betraying his wife and joining forces with Logan Roy (Brian Cox).
After a delightfully rambling prologue, Tom even brings up the possibility of a world without the shiv, posing the question, “What would happen were a marriage such as mine, and even, in fact, mine, were to waver to the point of failure?” The standard enigmatic response from Logan was, “If we’re good, we’re good.”
The Tom portion of this episode takes place in New York during Logan’s birthday celebration, which is a horrible event for the honored guest. (As Nicholas Britell’s characteristically melancholy string cadence plays as Logan mingles, we know this night is going to be a disappointment.)
In a diner, he somberly muses on how, when it comes down to it, people are just economic units, and that when we die, our place in the market dies along with us. He becomes so irritated with all the happy “monsters” gobbling up the food that he flees with his bodyguard and “best pal,” Colin (Scott Nicholson). He sighs, “I suppose this is it.” “Realistically.”
Logan is ultimately awakened by what is happening in Los Angeles, where Shiv, Kendall (Jeremy Strong), and Roman (Kieran Culkin) are preparing to exact retribution for the brutal way Logan foiled their recent coup attempt.
These “new-gen Roys” intend to introduce “a high exposure, execution-dependent disrupter news brand” dubbed The Hundred, which will feature analysis from 100 leading figures in the business, technology, food, and other traditional news industries.
All of this sounds fantastic to Shiv — honestly, it does, she over-insists — until she learns from Tom that in addition to Waystar’s upcoming megadeal with GoJo, Logan now has his sights set on the left-leaning, Roy-hating Pierce Global Media, which Nan Pierce (Cherry Jones) is eager to sell.
Undoubtedly, The Hundred had interested parties queued up in front of Roman’s opulent hillside home. Shiv, Kendall, and Roman nevertheless fly up to Nan’s opulent estate and vineyard, where they find themselves in line and waiting. Shiv wants to be believed for Nan to stop viewing the Roy children as “fake fruit for display purposes only.”
The younger Roys are aware that, despite Tom’s assurances to the Pierces of “a little tummy-tickle on culture,” Logan would never keep his word over maintaining the P.G.M. brand. And they are fairly confident that they can secure the finance after their father’s GoJo acquisition is completed and they sell their Waystar shares for between $2 and $3 billion.
Do they want this, this is the true query. Kendall undoubtedly does as evidenced by his hunger to defeat Logan. Shiv wants to do a significant task, most likely not The Hundred. It is The Hundred, not The Billions (I mean, it is). Roman, though, is hesitant to fight their father again after receiving a severe beating.
Roman ultimately joins the group and begins to “speak to an old lady about newspapers” with as much phony excitement as he can conjure. Nan, though, is tricky. She grumbles that she is tired of hearing about numbers and swears there is no way to back out of the tentative agreement she has with Logan, all the while deceitfully leading her new suitors to an offer that is far more than the $7 billion Waystar had planned to spend.

The youngsters decide on $10 billion, which ends the conversation and serves as a “definitive” offer. Carrie, Logan’s friend, assistant, and adviser, had already called Logan’s kids. (Who might also be his future wife and child’s mother? Another thing that never seems to end is Logan’s romantic life.)
Maybe they might call him and wish him a happy birthday, she said. Instead, Logan’s party comes to an end when he orders Tom to contact Shiv so he can hiss, “Congratulations for saying the greatest number,” at “the rats.” We now return to Shiv and Tom. In their cramped New York apartment, where Shiv had been by to pick up some clothes Tom believed she didn’t want, they uncomfortably meet to discuss their hectic day.
(She says, “I don’t want to be limited to my favorites,” which says a lot about Shiv in general.) They argue for a little while, referring to themselves as “the Filthy Brothers,” about how Tom and Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun) had been tomcatting around. She advises that they “move on” from this marriage, to which he responds with an “uh-huh” a la Logan.
They clasp hands as they eventually fall to the bed next to one another. They won’t discuss their differences. They won’t be able to get along again. They won’t engage in se*ual activity. They will remain in the same location for a little bit longer nevertheless because neither of them wants to go. They will understand what is going to happen to them tomorrow, or perhaps never.
