Kendall just had his big 40th birthday celebration last season. So he is 40. Roman is younger, so he's mid- to late 30s, and then Shiv is the youngest so she is early to mid-30s. I'd put her at 35 at the latest because I have a hard time believing the kids are less than 5 years apart in age -- given their family, I doubt their parents were together enough to make that happen.

A lot of people think Roman is the baby but Shiv is (and is part of what made Logan dote on her a bit more). Roman is just less mature. It actually makes sense in terms of attachment theory and childhood development -- Shiv is more mature because she received more positive attention as a child and was able to develop a positive sense of self-worth. Roman, as the middle child of three (they forget about Connor so I guess we will too) and the second son, was ignored and heavily criticized (and maybe hit) by his dad, had no opportunity to develop a sense of self in a nurturing family environment, so he's incredibly insecure and hides behind humor and sarcasm to mask the fact that he is in pretty much constant need of the validation he never received as a child.

They have never said the order of the kids ages.

The opening is a clue.

They've never said which actor in the opening is which kid. It's all ambiguous on purpose.

True, but I'm still going to chalk it up to the GYN having "concerns" that there were billable, unnecessary screening tests that her super rich patient would pay for without question.

That was brutal, not that I minded. But for a twist of fate, the $63 million apartment could have been Kerri's in a matter of months. I would also Marcia would have an ironclad prenup in place, will be interesting to see how that pans out.

They showed her negotiating her post-nup after Logan's affair with the Holly Hunter character. We know it was very generous to Marcia.

Do you think she was honest when she said that her and Logan talked every day?

Well, I wouldn't call Kerry "back." But indeed, Marcia was not shopping in Milan forever. She is mean as a snake. Her interaction with Willa was everything. Oh man.

And I guess there was also a Succession Final Season thread. I'm being annoying, but I called Shiv being pregnant too. At this point that almost seems like it didn't happen. That was crazy.

But Will had a great response. Marcia sucks.

And why was Greg on the letter???

I'm the PP who predicted they'd both be in the works! Y'all told me they were both totally out of the picture but I knew they'd be around.

I was surprised by how the board vote was handled though, with it not even being shows and just seeing the behind the scenes stuff at Logan's apartment with the kids. I get the choice, but I was expecting the vote to be more of a set piece for the show.

I missed the scenes from next week's episode, can anyone summarize?

I didn’t see any scenes from next week?

Next week they visit Mattsonn to close the sale. The preview was there.
