![]() Katie Baker : I don’t know who it will be, but I feel like it SHOULD be Marcia. Roman and Shiv may be able to talk the talk at times, but Kendall has been walking in his father’s shoes long before seeing his underlined name on that piece of paper. He’s also emulated his father in other ways, including pushing his family out of his life in favor of the business. ![]() In the penultimate episode, we saw Kendall making deals with Colin and Hugo as he assembled a squad ahead of the battle he’ll have to wage over the company with his sister Shiv. Kendall delivered the Living+ presentation solo and freestyled an inspiring eulogy during his father’s funeral out of the four Roy children, he walks the best CEO walk. I could give you well-thought-out reasons why each character could end up on top, but I can’t act like Kendall Logan Roy hasn’t stepped up to the plate at numerous points this season. Khal : Logan Roy died without finalizing who’d take over for him, and you expect me to know who’ll end up running Waystar Royco? Challenge accepted, but know that it’s not an easy call for me either. Kendall has been such a tragic character over four seasons that even if he does win the top job, there’s no way Succession ends with him happy. His siblings will resent him forever, his kids and wife (from whom he’s separated) are already upstate hiding from the evil he cosigned, and any semblance of a moral compass he has will completely disintegrate. Namely, Kendall’s ascension will come at the cost of … pretty much everything else in his life. Telling Roman, “You fucked it, but it’s all right” last week was some real Logan Roy-esque manipulation, indicative of who Kendall will be if he does come out on top. But all signs are pointing toward our no. Julianna Ress : I’m hesitant to say Kendall, since he’s never been able to stick the landing in his attempts to take over (or take down) Waystar, and there are still multiple people who know about his role in the waiter’s death at the end of Season 1 who could easily be pissed off enough to leak that information. The burning question heading into the finale: Who will end up on top? ![]() What can we expect from Episode 10? Read along as we examine one burning question heading into Succession ’s series finale. It’s Friday, which means Succession ’s newest-and last!-installment is around the corner. ![]()
