'Succession' Season 4, episode 9 dropped a significant clue concerning the finale

Succession‘s penultimate episode ever left us with some large questions: Will the Waystar-GoJo deal truly undergo? Who will develop into CEO? And naturally, most significantly, what is going on to occur to the Roy siblings?

Whereas we will not reply these questions simply but, we can make an especially educated guess about the place the Succession sequence finale will take us. And it is all because of a fast line of dialogue from Roman (Kieran Culkin) on the best way to Logan’s (Brian Cox) funeral.

Whereas driving to the funeral service, Roman asks his siblings, “Did you guys get Mother’s invitation for a ‘Caribbean air clear?'” Apparently, their mom, Caroline Collingwood (Harriet Walter), is planning a tropical trip to get well considerably from Logan’s demise. Shiv (Sarah Snook) is skeptical — “Oh, Mother simply instantly needs to Mother now?” — and Kendall (Jeremy Robust) is a “arduous no.” Nevertheless, Succession being Succession, it is extremely doubtless the Roys will find yourself on this journey anyway.

For starters, when Succession mentions an upcoming occasion — like Connor’s (Alan Ruck) marriage ceremony, the presidential election, or Logan’s funeral — it at all times follows by on displaying it to us. The present has additionally made a sample of internet hosting its season finales in lavish worldwide places: a citadel within the English countryside for Season 1, a yacht off the coast of Croatia for Season 2, and a Tuscan villa for Season 3. A visit to the Caribbean is most undoubtedly consistent with this sample. Plus, Succession sleuths on Reddit(opens in a brand new tab) declare forged filmed in Barbados, and an Esquire profile on Kieran Culkin(opens in a brand new tab) references a “last weeklong journey to movie the final scenes of the ultimate episode of Succession,” that means at the very least a number of the Roys doubtless will likely be touring to the Caribbean in spite of everything.

Probably the most fascinating a part of Roman’s query is much less so the Caribbean point out and extra so the outline of the journey as an “air clear.” This phrasing means that the journey will not actually be a calming trip: If something, it is extra of an opportunity for the Roys to clear the air with one another following weeks of emotional turmoil. Given every little thing Kendall, Shiv, and Roman have performed to one another this season, appears like we’re in for one final spectacular Roy trip blow-up. Convey it on.

The sequence finale of Succession airs Could 28 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.(opens in a brand new tab)
