‘Succession’ Season 4: A Tale Of Two Toxic Marriages
While Kendall and Roman try to crash the deal on ‘Succession‘, Siobhan secretly invites Mattson to the tailgate party. The idea is for the sleazy Swede to go on a charm offensive and check the temperature of the people who might hold his future. Meanwhile, Kendall asks Nate (now a political strategist) to help him tank the deal with Mattson. Roman asks Connor to drop from the race so his voter base shifts to Jeryd Mencken, who might go toe to toe with the Democratic candidate Daniel Jiménez.
As Lukas arrives with his second and third in command, tensions get high, and secrets come. Feeling slighted by Lukas, Ebba, GoJo’s communications officer, gives away the most important secrets of Mattson, the biggest being his subscription numbers from India being a total lie. But before Siobhan can realize she picked the wrong guy, she gets into a revolting argument with Tom that ends them forever.
