*EDITED* My original review:
This episode dragged a little bit for the first time all season, but there are some hugely powerful moments that more than make up for it. That last shot of the episode..
Upon rewatch, there's a ton more subtlety than I caught the first time. I was running on two hours of sleep and I got a little bored. That was my mistake because if you pay attention this is flat out one of the best episodes of the series. Every single line is either a callback or a culmination or a payoff to something set up earlier in the season. Finally in this episode all the masks are stripped off and we see these people as they actually are - unhappy, bitter, insecure children. This episode was amazing and it was my fault for thinking I could watch an episode of succession without paying 100% attention to it.
