Dminches

I am not sure why she did. I don’t see how it helps Randall deal with this anxiety. Even if he knew it was hereditary, he still needs to come up with strategies and/or take medication for it. Knowing it is passed down doesn’t really fix anything.

I really didn't like most of this episode. First, the show goes off on too many tangents. There are too many storylines and each tries to cover too much ground. Did I really need to know that William had anxiety issue too? It is enough that Randall and Tess share this issue. The scene with Kevin and Ryan was unrealistic. It is more likely that Ryan would be yelling at Kevin to stay out of their lives, not telling a sad story about how the war broke Cassidy. I do hope they continue the 19 year-old Kate appearances. She is the best of that generation's kids.

Not only that, but she has a dark spot on her left eye.

Could be although by that time she knew it was likely going to be Kendall. I guess I don't put anything past Shiv when it comes to her own pleasure.

I don’t agree. Shiv put together the threesome for her pleasure. She was way too disappointed that Tom said “no” for it to just be a gift. She was practically begging for it.

It is depressing to see characters get killed off each episode. I feel like I am watching the last episode of 6 Feet Under in slow motion.

This is brilliant. I can't stop watching it. (Hopefully everyone can link to a twitter video). Succession take-off

I just watched the final 10 minutes, starting with Shiv telling Kendall that Daddy wants to see him. I am starting to think that Logan is in on the Kendall announcement at the press conference. When Roman comes in the room and makes a comment Logan puts his finger up to his mouth to say "shhh." I have a hard time believing that that would be his reaction if this was a surprise to him. I could be wrong too!

I really wondered about this too. Even the way that Logan put his finger up to his lips to keep Shiv and Roman quiet while Kendall made his statement. Frankly, if this was a shock to Logan why didn't he erupt? This situation is more complex than what meets the eye.

Logan had a look on his face which said “well, son, I guess you are a killer after all.” He almost looked proud of him. Great episode. Everyone nailed it.

She had a doctor’s appointment to get tested for STDs.

Shiv doesn't even technically work for the company so I can't see how this can be her downfall. She would have to do something wrong in the season finale for her to be scapegoat. I don't see that happening. Their strategy was to filibuster as many "witnesses" do since each senator only has a 5 minute time slot. That's what Logan was doing.

I thought this was another great episode. Shiv taking control and realizing that the best course of action was to let Rhea be the CEO when the shit hits the fan was great. She is the only adult Roy child. The rest are stuck in their worlds of barely holding themselves together. Kendall’s rapping was well done. I think Kendall dropped his new girlfriend because he felt that she was too impressed with his dad. That does seem odd because she also she he always talks about him. Very confusing. Great twist that Ewan is backing the whistle blower. Talk about someone looking a gift horse in the mouth. Messing with Marcia is a very dangerous path. She will take down Rhea and Logan with one arm.

I felt bad for Bill when the judge at the retreat was talking about the mass murderers and how it begins in childhood. Bill was staring into space wondering if Brian was going to be one of those kids.

Horrible. Sometimes trying to outdo yourself fails badly, like this episode

Logan and Rhea came up with the plan to have Rhea convince Shiv to put her name in for the Pierce CEO just, right? This was Logan’s way to take the Waystar CEO job from Shiv? Why isn’t Logan offering it to Rhea?

Wasn’t that meeting the same day that they had an abbreviated lunch together? I thought Rhea tried to leave but things got out of hand with the suicide. Or, were those 2 different days?

I thought Shiv made a good attempt to explain to Tom that it is ok for her to be with other men but not for him to be with other women. It seemed like Tom fell for it or at least became confused. They are in different leagues and while Tom may realize that, he is trying to best to make it to the “majors.”

I do. In one of the conversations between Shiv and Tom in their apartment she broached the idea that it could never happen. She knew this wasn't a certainty even before Logan pushed back at dinner.

I think Shiv is anxious because she isn’t sure it is going to happen. Thus, she is trying to force the issue and basically make Logan says “yes” or “no, I am not going to name you.”

Kendall was absolutely driving. The waiter said he couldn't drive so Kendall got behind the wheel. It was definitely a DUI.

If he had reported it right after the accident and they did a blood or urine test it would have shown that he had drugs in his system. I assume that is illegal in the UK as well.

If my memory serves me correctly Scotty was harassing her so he got what he deserved and she isn’t at fault. Helen clearly is. I don’t think Noah knows Alison was there but i really can’t remember.

I thought it was Abby who wanted to open up the relationship. If that is the case it seems odd that she would be jealous of Vince and his ex, which she clearly was. Be careful what you wish for....

The only person on earth capable of completing Noah's "day" is Ray Donovan and Noah is no Ray Donovan.
