Episode 208: “Dundee”
To celebrate his 50th year as head of Waystar Royco, Logan’s family is throwing him a huge party in Scotland, his birthplace. Rhea inserts herself into the everyday affairs of the family because she’s been sleeping with Logan and feels like she’s now earned a spot at the table. That doesn’t sit well with Logan’s wife Marcia or his daughter Shiv.
Meanwhile, Greg is faced with a challenge from his grandfather (Logan’s brother) and Waystar faces the fact that the information about the cruises division is definitely going to go public, which will hurt Logan’s chances at retaining control of his company. Let’s get into it.

Winners:
- In an episode where everyone was doing their best to suck up to Logan, one person forced their way to the head of the pack: Rhea. Logan named her the CEO of the company, bypassing Shiv, which I told you would happen. I vindicate myself.
- Kendall definitely makes the winner’s list because he rapped a dedication to his father. It was cringeworthy and glorious.
- Shiv actually makes the list of winners even though she lost the CEO spot (for now). Shiv saw right through Rhea’s plot to gain power and sabotaged her at every turn. Now, when the whistleblower goes public about the cruise division fiasco, it will be Rhea’s face that the public will see and blame.

Losers:
- Greg’s grandfather, who hates Logan, forced him to make a decision: Leave Waystar or be cut from the will, which would mean Greg wouldn’t inherit just over $2 million. Greg has some thinking to do.
- Tom meets the man Shiv slept with under the “open marriage” rule they have. You could tell it broke him inside, just a little bit.
- Rhea may have been named CEO, but she’s about to inherit a shit storm that will see her crash and burn, all thanks to Shiv.
This was a very good episode of Succession where we got to see the family begin to eat itself from within. Kendall, Shiv, and Roman all seem to want Rhea gone, but they aren’t willing to make a big move. Logan and Marcia’s marriage may suffer because of his infidelity, and if she sues for divorce, that will be one more hit he can’t absorb.
