Succession season 4 episode 5: Did Roman, Kendall kill the deal?
Oh, and we also saw that at the end of the day, Roman and Kendall Roy weren’t altogether sure that they wanted Matsson’s deal for Waystar Royco. Why? Well, a part of the issue here is that he wanted ATN, and they wanted to retain it. Also, Kendall wants to be in charge. He hasn’t ever had that real seat at the table and now, he gets a chance to do that. Or, he does if he can retain the company.

Kendall tried to use logic in order to tank the company; however, Roman just went in a completely different direction. He went completely haywire all over Lukas with an emotional appeal, accusing him of being heartless and terrible for dragging them to Norway days after their father just died.
The thing is, a good bit of this was carefully plotted, not that all of this was much of a surprise. In the end, this entire situation led to Shiv, Roman, and Kendall getting what they wanted — a deal at the price that they wanted.
So what happens from here?
Well, we do tend to think that the kill list is going to be incredibly important from here on out. After all, we do tend to think that the Old Guard is going to have a lot to say about some names like Karl, Frank, and Hugo being off that list.
Also, was Shiv the person responsible for that? Well, that’s certainly an interesting discussion in its own right, isn’t it?
