mattson got a potential sexual harrassment scandal coming, so if u notice, he retained ALL the women to still work there.

It all depends on whether or not the writers have Mattson as some stereotypical toxic finbro or if he's actually more shrewd than we realize. He could've been using Shiv to make her think she had power by retaining the women (Geri and Karolina). But honestly, I feel like Mattson thinks Shiv is a hardcore feminist so he's playing to what he thinks she wants. I would hope he's not so dumb to divulge sexual harassment info to a stranger.

Itā€™s one of those themes I never skip because the song is too damn good.

I think I need to rewatch from the beginning as well. The Whitney Houston post-accident dance scene in the S1 finale is one of my favorites in the series.

I still havenā€™t watched this last ep so I have to be careful how I maneuver thru posts in here but I agree with the boldā€¦ironically rewatching S1 recently is the first time I skipped thru the intro as I couldnā€™t wait to jump back into the epsā€¦I didnā€™t realize how much the theme song was used during the eps as well in S1ā€¦in one particular episode they mightā€™ve used it at least 3x which might explain why itā€™s so hypnotic lmaoā€¦that scene you are talking about is coolā€¦kendall managed to have a nice time dancing with his kidsā€¦and despite what just went down there was still an innocence about it (granted he was probably just creating an alibi lmao)

I would be surprised if they have Mattson use that story to outsmart Shiv. Theyā€™ve done a good job showing us that heā€™s just a rich guy weirdo who lives in a bubble and canā€™t process being told no. Just like the other rich a$$holes on this show, theyā€™re telling us that rich people arenā€™t as smart as they believe themselves to be.

They cant get anything right these kids.....their father was right.
I mean, technically, Roman and Kendall got it exactly right. They got Mattson to overpay for the company.

It's just that they had to fukk up at their actual goal to do it.

fukk it, if I were on that plane, I would have been pretending I tried to blow up the deal as a bluff to get more money out of Mattson just to save face instead of sitting there moping like a bytch.

The Swede like Sollozzo. Kenny was hot for his deal, wasn't he?

Exactly what I was thinking of when I saw it.

ā€œWeā€™ve ended up at one big incestuous family convention!ā€ he says, then the bearded guy quips that Greg is ā€œtwo-metres of nepotismā€ and ā€œthe Habsburg giantā€, a reference, FYI, to the 15th Century royal family of Austria, who were such fans of inbreeding that their offspring became increasingly deformed.

We haven't seen the details of the deal. Judging by Mattson going over their heads to deliver the new deal to Frank, it's probably not good for Kendall or Roman (or maybe even Shiv) but otherwise irresistible to the rest of the board. There's a reason Mattson told Roman on that cliff that he just fukked himself after his precious dad rant.

I Got Money Stacks Bigger than You:huhldup:

...Succession writers used Takeover BARZ to showcase Mattson sonning the Roys:ohhh:

And Shiv dismantling the rest of Tom's manhood was Logan's spirit channeling through:demonic:

They own a shyt-load of shares in the business. Connor was expecting about 3B from the original deal that Logan secured.

It's not good for Kendall or Roman or Shiv from a "we get to run Daddy's company" standpoint, which is really what matters to any of them since they're all stinking rich anyway, but Mattson just made the siblings billions of dollars. I mean, at this point I guess money doesn't matter because really, Mattson just paid a premium so he could get back at Roman for talking shyt to him. Because Mattson is also a dumbass, but slightly less than Roman or Kendall is.
