Recap / Succession S 01 E 09

---

• Addled Addict: Going Off the Wagon is starting to fuck Kendall over, making him dissociative and paranoid.
• Continuity Nod:
  • Caroline made Shiv move the wedding to England a few weeks ago, and Stewy complains that he wants Scenery Porn.
  • Still angry over the dog cage fight in the last episode, Roman greets Kendall with barking noises.
• I Need a Freaking Drink: Kendall manages through a confrontation with Logan, but immediately needs a drink after.
• Nervous Wreck: The confidence Kendall had about fucking over his family/dad at the end of “Prague” has quickly died, and he’s anxious and guilty about planning to screw them over.
• Noodle Incident: There was an incident that Shiv tells Tabitha the last half of, including a monkey, an uncle and her mom being swindled.
• Parental Incest: For once joked about by someone other than the family, Canadians joking that Kendall is a cock ring (implied to be his dad’s) when he’s not there. Frank has no idea what the joke means and Kendall just non-explains and walks off.
• Slobs Versus Snobs: Kendall and Stewy go into a UK pub and almost immediately act snobby over champagne.
• This Is Gonna Suck: Shiv warns Tom about Caroline, who thinks she can’t be that bad. Turns out Shiv was right.
  • Logan feels there’s no other way out than to go to his daughter’s wedding (cos they can’t spin it as a “good father” move) and everyone but Tom is dreading it.
