Logan boards his plane still grumbling as always about everything that needs doing: getting rid of Gerri, getting rid of Cyd, pushing through the deal with the ATN spinoff intact.įresh Air for March 24, 2023: 'Succession' stars Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen As if proving that Roman is back under his thumb and will not have relationships of any kind that he doesn't know about, Logan will now both take Gerri's job and make Roman tell her. They talk about this on a phone call in which Logan gives Roman a particularly agonizing assignment for the day: fire Gerri, personally, face to face. ![]() Roman is instead going to Connor's wedding, which is being held on a big, fancy boat. This episode begins with the reveal that Roman is not going with Logan to see Matsson. He just wasn't breathing? Here, in the middle of the wedding, in the third episode? Nothing earth-shaking ever happens in the third episode! The patriarch doesn't just up and die in the third episode! Where was the obviously portentous final sighting of Logan? Where were the ominous hints? Where were his different, defining, meaningful last words? The last time we saw him, he was stomping up the steps of his plane, just like always!

At the beginning of this third episode of the season, there was so much other stuff in motion. The show has teased his fragile health again and again - in his helicopter in the pilot, at the shareholder meeting, at the table at Argestes, and while walking Josh's massive property with Kendall. Longtime viewers had probably figured this season of Succession might include the death of Logan Roy.
