So many families go in silence. At the Roy, we talk to each other. Marriage in Tuscany (Chiantishire in the original version), the penultimate episode of this season in hell, is chanted by three intimate conversations that will probably prefer the unspoken and the discharge to the witnesses of these bloody jumpers. The wedding, they are those of Caroline (Harriet Walter), the British mother of Kendall, Siobhan (“Shiv”) and Romanesque, who laid his vessel on one of these crooks of second zone gravitating in the orbit of Westminster . The former Madame Logan Roy sweeps the suggestion of his daughter and his Benjamin who push her to establish a prenuptial contract, but she does not hesitate to ask Kendall (Jeremy Strong), who arrives The shaved skull, as in penance, to stand on the margin of the festivities, not to thwart the patriarch, come with its present wife (Hiam Abbass, which is only made of it).
Since the beginning of the series, the absence of Carolina is one of the essential components of the curse that weighs on Kids Roy, deprived of maternal protection, delivered without defense to the paternal cruelty. This is in any case what Shiv (Sarah Snook) reminded his mother, on the occasion of the bachelor party of this one – nothing like the exhumation of the resentment to give a little ‘going to the evening.

To spice up their ebels, she explains to her husband that she is too good for him, that he is unworthy of being at his side, conforming to the paternal behavior that Caroline had sketched a little earlier. The next morning, when Shiv tries to pass his tirade for a knuckle, Tom responds to him melancholy: “Maybe I should take into account what you tell me in front, at the time of our greatest intimacy.”

Logan Roy (Brian Cox) is mine to believe that his son could poison him and asks his grandson, Iverson, to taste his dish. We leave the universe of King Lear for that of Titus Andronicus. From this ferocity, Logan will not depart from the evening. When Kendall offers her almost unconditional surrender, in exchange for two billion dollars, the patriarch refuses. To the affirmations of moral superiority of his elder, he opposes the cruel irony (“you just noticed” – that atn spreads a political poison in the opinion) and the reminder of the role of Kendall in the death of a server , the evening of another marriage, that of Shiv and Tom.
