Succession season 1-4 spoilers below
Succession season 4 episode 3 will go down in TV history. Not only was it beautifully written, acted (people are already calling out for Emmy noms for the young Roy actors) and filmed, but it managed to be a real shocker, which is pretty amazing given that what seems like the entire internet has been speculating about every single possible element of Succession’s plot for months now.
For those just joining all the drama, we suggest you go back and watch the episode because it’s a bit of a biggie: Logan Roy suddenly dies while on a plane to Sweden to speak to Matsson. While staff were pumping his chest, and the Roy children were all aboard a boat in the New York harbour for Connor’s wedding, it was Tom who was the go-between, communicating the horrible events to each party in real-time over the phone.
But while also being a bit of a hero in that respect (it must have been dreadful having to overhear Shiv, Kendall and Roman’s desperate final words to their father while holding the phone next to the ear of a dead body) he also made one very suspicious phone call to Greg, asking him to delete a file called ‘logistics’ from a computer. He also told Greg, “I’ve lost my protector” and that Greg should keep the death “on lockdown” but that people should also know that Tom “stayed with the body”.
So, despite coming across as a pretty great guy at this time of tragedy, Tom is still very much out for himself. Which is absolutely not surprising.
So what’s in the file that’s called logistics? Here are our ideas (wrong answers only).
Now what do we think is in Tom’s “Logistics” file and how many copies does Greg have? imo, it was about the divorce and doing Shiv dirty.
