Warning: Spoilers for<\/strong> Succession<\/strong><\/em> season 4, episode 3 to follow.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n Nearly everything about the\u00a0truly shocking third episode<\/a> of\u00a0Succession<\/em>\u2019s fourth season<\/a> was a red herring\u2014from the episode\u2019s title, \u201cConnor\u2019s Wedding,\u201d to its early positioning. All were ways of distracting viewers from the secret\u00a0Brian Cox<\/strong>\u00a0struggled to keep mum about<\/a>: Logan Roy is dead.<\/p>\n In what\u00a0Vanity Fair\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0Richard Lawson<\/strong> called \u201cthe snap-of-a-finger upending of the kids\u2019 entire world,\u201d Logan unceremoniously met his fate in the bathroom on his private jet. Viewers learned about the patriarch\u2019s demise not by witnessing it themselves, but just as the Roy children (minus poor Connor) did. It was a jarring twist that few saw coming\u2014except, perhaps, those who had analyzed the season four poster.<\/p>\n
