After the shocking death of Brian Cox’s Logan Roy in last week’s episode of Succession, Logan’s children try to determine the fate and the future of their father’s company, Waystar Royco.
The family was preparing for Connor Roy’s (Alan Ruck) wedding when Logan suddenly passed away on a flight.
Logan’s death comes at a particularly precarious time, with the company’s acquisition by Lukas Matsson’s GoJo is still not finalized.
It was also revealed briefly in last week’s episode – after Logan’s death – that the stock price of Waystar Royco has plummeted severely.
Sunday’s episode – Honeymoon States – follows the Roy children discussing a pivotal recommendation to the Waystar board.

Suddenly: The family was preparing for Connor Roy’s (Alan Ruck) wedding when Logan suddenly passed away on a flight.
The episode begins with Kendall (Jeremy Strong) sitting alone in his home, while we get a glimpse at Roman (Kieran Culkin) starting his day.
Shiv (Sarah Snook) is at home when she gets a call from her doctor, saying everything looks healthy for her to have children, saying there is nothing she should be concerned.
The doctor adds she is ‘thinking about her at this time’ asking if there’s anything she needs, but Shiv just hangs up and gets back in bed, as the title sequence begins.

While, for a majority of the series, the Roy children have been at odds with each other, the last few episodes of Season 3 found them finally joining forces to stop their father Logan from selling off the family’s media conglomerate.
Little did they know that family black sheep Tom Wambsgans (Matthew McFadyen) betrayed his own wife Shiv and gave Logan a heads up on what they were doing, giving him enough to remove their power to block the impending sale.
The final shots of Season 3 seemed to indicate that Shiv realized her husband betrayed her, though it’s unclear how that will play out in Season 4.
Succession creator Jesse Armstrong first confirmed that Season 4 will be the end of the show in a wide-ranging interview with The New Yorker, where he was asked why he decided to confirm the final season before it debuted.
‘One, we could have said it as soon as I sort of decided, almost when we were writing it, which I think would be weird and perverse,’ Armstrong began.
‘We could have said it at the end of the season. I quite like that idea, creatively, because then the audience is just able to enjoy everything as it comes, without trying to figure things out, or perceiving things in a certain way once they know it’s the final season,’ he added.
‘But, also, the countervailing thought is that we don’t hide the ball very much on the show. I feel a responsibility to the viewership, and I personally wouldn’t like the feeling of, “Oh, that’s it, guys. That was the end.” I wouldn’t like that in a show. I think I would like to know it is coming to an end,’ he clarified.
He added, ‘And, also, there’s a bunch of prosaic things, like it might be weird for me and the cast as we do interviews. It’s pretty definitively the end, so then it just might be uncomfortable having to sort of dissemble like a politician for ages about it. Hopefully, the show is against bulls**t, and I wouldn’t like to be bulls****ing anyone when I was talking about it.’
