The tension is high and the security is higher. We're reacting to Succession Season 2, Episode 4: “Safe Room.” A gunshot at Waystar Royco headquarters sends the entire office into a lockdown, trapping the family in “safe rooms” of very different qualities.

As Logan, Shiv, and Rhea Jarrell are whisked away to a luxury bunker, Tom and Greg find themselves shoved into a glorified storage closet, leading to one of the most hilariously stressful confrontations in the series. Meanwhile, Kendall continues to walk a dark line, and Roman’s time in the management training program takes a very strange, very "Gerri" turn.

Join us as we react to Tom’s water-bottle-throwing meltdown, Greg’s first real attempt at blackmail, the heartbreaking final scene between Shiv and Kendall, and the chilling significance of the glass panels on the roof.
