*DroppedABridgeOnHim: Logan's death comes suddenly and without warning, without any final words or the chance to get closure with any of his children.



* LaserGuidedKarma: Once again Logan chooses business over his family and/or ignores his [[TheUnfavorite Unfavorite]] son by skipping Connor's wedding in favor of meeting with Matsson.

Connor asks Willa if she really wants to go ahead with the marriage; she says yes and they marry in front of a reduced crowd. His siblings have gone to meet the plane; Shiv gives a statement to the gathered reporters; Kendall and Roman observe Logan's body being transported away.

* AllForNothing: While he's gentle with Shiv and her brothers, Tom is certainly feeling uncertain about his position now that Logan is dead, as he betrayed his wife and ruined his marriage for this.

* TheOner: Played with. The Roy children's separate realizations of their father's death was scripted and shot both normally, and then again as a 27-minute one-take shot. For the latter attempt, film rolls were hidden around the boat set and an additional camera used strictly for reloading reels was hidden behind a door, as [i]Succession[/i] is shot on film and can only shoot 10 minutes at a time. Director of the episode Mark Mylod stated that while they didn't show the one-shot in its entirety, most of that part of the episode is sourced from the one-take.

** When he hears the news, Connor's initial response is a stunned, instinctive "He never even liked me." On seeing how this clearly hurts his brothers, he immediately takes it back and brushes it off, moving to comfort them rather than wallow in his own misery.

"Barely acknowledged" would mean people weren't talking about him.


* KilledOffscreen: Logan Roy is barely acknowledged in this episode. The first time he is seen, someone is giving his body chest compressions in the background. There is exactly one shot that includes his head, and it only shows the top of it.
