Not everybody appears every week, depending on how much they have to do. Or, if you will, how efficiently they are flying down the highway to hell. This season, each week, we are ranking members of the main cast of Succession based on how fast they are speeding toward moral ruin. (He has also, as far as we know, not told his siblings yet that Logan covered up the death of the waiter and held it over his head for a couple of years.) It seemed at the end of last season as if Kendall was taking power then he spent a whole season seeming to sink back into despair, and then, by telling the truth at the right moment, he got it back. Unlike Shiv and Roman, Kendall wasn't trying to hold on to any shreds of his relationship with his father. He is the one who seems the least afraid of Logan, because he's seen Logan do his worst and has little left to lose. Now, he has the strangest possible redemption: His confession to his siblings is an enormous weight off his shoulders that he never thought he would feel, and working in tandem with them revitalizes him to the point where at the end, even though he's down, he is the one who looks like he is not out. Episode Eight: Even Kendall's mother refused to take his side. Episode Seven: Roman delivered the devastating birthday card that caused him to spiral. Episode Six: Tom turned him down in the diner. Episode Five: Logan set up the fake meeting (after the shareholder meeting) to humiliate him and then told Kerry to block his number for good.
Episode Four: Greg went back to Logan's side in exchange for a rum and Coke. Episode Three: At the employee meeting, he humiliated Shiv and she spat in his notebook.
Then came the episode with the sibling summit, where Connor led the siblings in rejecting Kendall's plans. In the season premiere, he wanted to impress Rava with his big press conference, but instead, she wound up enraged by the carelessness of his girlfriend, Naomi. You can see this entire season up to the finale, episode by episode, as the process of Kendall losing hope as he is emotionally separated from everyone in his life, one by one - sometimes quite fairly and sometimes not.
