So just positing a theory here. If Roman breaks down during the funeral, will Gerri comfort him? Maybe decide not to leave Waystar?? Could that be what J meant when she said they’d have their ups and downs (since we’ve yet to have any ups)?

and this
Did you see how when he starts talking about jerking off she just looks so disappointed
rewatching the scene (over and over) because i can't get over how perfectly mapped onto their dynamic it is – roman's grasping at straws thought is that if he could get her alone, he could get them to sort of reset to a less fractured place, and in lieu of a real apology he's offering her a moment of renewed submission and vulnerability. even if it's couched in his typical sex-averse sarcasm/insincerity (he sounds despondent even as he says it because it's not a genuine desire, it's just going through the motions because it's the best he can do without doing what he really needs to do, which is apologize), it comes from a place of offering her a chance at exercising some power over him again, a subversion of what he did in the last episode which was exert an inordinate and untethered amount of power over her.
ultimately, though, she's so disappointed because it is a lazy, meaningless nothing offer and because they both know that it isn't what she needs from him anymore. she doesn't need power over him – he's too unstable and flighty and untrustworthy. what she needs, and what she needed all along, and what they had before he fucked it up, was respect (and assurance and commitment to Them and their shared vision). and even if it was in the heat of the moment last episode, him telling her she isn't good at her job was the biggest act of disrespect he could commit against her. there is no coming back from that, but even if there was, it would have to be a much grander gesture and falling back on the silly little jerk-off thing felt like one last reminder that they aren't those two people anymore.

no but actually gerri and rome challenging each other and knowing exacting where to stab, where it’s tender and raw, and begging to be taken in and protected and loved but being unable to do it…..it makes my chest hurt, if you must know

Earlier, while outside my building, a group of three people (early 50s, 2 women, 1 man) were walking by. I didn’t hear any of their conversation except the man saying “She’s a Pan Am 3, but a United 6.” And I swear, that’s one of the most savage and hilarious insults I’ve ever heard in real life.

I started this season of Succession thinking that the kids were going to lose the company and be left with nothing (money, but nothing else). Now I think in just two short weeks after they lose their father, they are going to destroy the thing he built, and be left with a sagging conglomerate that they can’t get rid of.

idk about y’all but im having a blast on the gerriroman train tonight. did you see him crave her approval?? did you see him lose it when he didn’t get it?? did you see him instantly regret losing it?? did you see him look more alone and isolated than ever after hurting her?? did you see her extra fucking pissed and losing her ever-present professional composure because of him?? that conversation wouldn’t have happened between either one of them and anyone else. that’s intimacy, baby! cruel and fucked up and significant because it’s them! im ready to die here

Yes yes yes. ALL OF THIS including the hashtags. I just watched the scene again and something that a lot of Redditors are missing is that there is so much more happening than “he sent her unwanted dick pics, so of course she hates him.” No, they understand each other on a microscopic level and read each other so well. goddamnit!!
Ok but the way she spends two seconds alone with him and figures out he has no intention of selling
i mean the tragedy of it is that it's SUCH a good romangerri interaction. ALL the beats are there!!
gerri is trying to be strictly business, but he's being flippant and antagonistic to a point that she fires back (matching his tone but still being glib!!!), only for it to hit him too close to home slash hurt his feelings (something that she's never really done intentionally), which sends them wavering into their old kind of blurred line conversation space with each other, but now colored by hurt and anger on both sides
and i'm OBSESSED with the fact that he couches it in that language of whether or not she respects him because a) it sets the precedent that everything he felt like he achieved before, he could do because he knew he had her respect/support and b) of course he can't admit "i'm on shaky ground right now and i can't have you around me unless you can believe in me, because otherwise i know i can't do it"...and it's SOOOO so good that she basically admits that she will say whatever he wants to hear, but she's not going to lie to him and say she has faith in him when he's literally acting irrational and irresponsible! she literally likes him too much to lie to him!! because if she didn't care about him she would've easily been able to just say it and not mean it!!
AND then to cap it off with her instantly recognizing that they're going to tank the deal (and the way she says his name in that moment – pain!) and trying to appeal to him by saying "your dad wanted the deal!!", only for him to shirk her off and conjure up something that will hurt her feelings as much as his feelings are hurt...which he does!! because he knows exactly what to say to cut her deep and she's shocked and kinda devastated that he would go there because he's been stupid and/or awful to her before but never this cruel!! ahhhhhh!!
