EXTRA EN ESPANOL EPISODE 3 SUMMARY SERIAL

After Kendall’s aforementioned act of sabotage with Shiv, she writes an open letter that describes him as “a drug addict, a serial liar, an absentee father, history of his own problematic relations with women,” and then tries to convince her other two brothers to sign off on its release. This week’s episode contains-somewhat astoundingly, given the hideousness of some of their previous actions-the cruellest behaviour from the Roy kids yet, at least in terms of how they treat each other.

It would have been interesting to see Succession put the two in the same room, Ziwe’s character expanding on what she describes as Kendall’s terminal case of “Caucasian rich brain” face-to-face, and Kendall no doubt unable to do much other than maintain that frightening, empty smile. Ziwe rose to fame, as well as earning her own late-night show on US cable channel Showtime, as a direct result of possessing exactly the opposite qualities to Kendall: a self-aware brand of cool, fearlessness and a capacity to come up with the right quip on the fly, a tendency to move at 1.5 speed in debate and conversation. It is funny to see Kendall - something of a meme in real life – become a millennial punching-bag within Succession’s actual universe, but I am half-convinced that the episode might have landed even better had we been given the chance to see him keep this particular date with destiny. Kendall – acting like the kind of person who inadvertently makes themselves the main character of the day on Twitter by insisting that they’re not offended, actually – decides that offering to do an in-person appearance on Sophie’s show will help to rehabilitate his image, and then backs out about 15 minutes before the interview is set to take place. Still, the lyrics are not a million miles away from Kendall’s own journey of self-abasement and humiliation this week: “Hate me/Do it, and do it again/Waste me/Rape me, my friend.” When he ambushes Shiv by playing Nirvana’s “Rape Me” on the PA at the conference she’s arranged to reassure the staff and shareholders of Waystar Royco, it is obviously meant to be a reference to the sexual assaults covered up by the Cruise Division. A game called “Good Tweet, Bad Tweet” that he plays with his publicists in the back of a limousine quickly turns ugly, his face slackening like Droopy Dog’s as soon as someone reads a genuinely nasty tweet.

As much as he crows that a backlash is the same thing as “being a part of the conversation,” things go sourer and sourer for him as he offers himself up to be analysed and ridiculed by all and sundry. Kendall’s newfound insistence on being a masochist-messiah takes centre-stage this week, the difference between him and his younger, freakier brother Roman turning out to be that Kendall does not, in fact, like to taste the metaphorical whip at all. If you found yourself able to stomach his exclaiming “f*** the patriarchy” at a crowd of paparazzi in the third episode of Succession season three, you’re made of sterner stuff than I am ditto the vaguely disgusting way he describes doing an interview as “opening kimono,” or the way he tells a horrified reporter that he is “good in ” and hopes that his family are “good in theirs” with the cold, dead eyes of a shark. Reports of New Woke Kendall™’s death last week were, unfortunately, greatly exaggerated.
