In the second episode of the final season of Succession, Karen discusses the power plays that emerged in Episode 2. The episode delves into the conflict between Logan Roy and his children as they try to gain control and influence around the sale to GoJo and the potential purchase of Pearce. The theme of power dynamics is evident in the helicopter scene when Logan cancels the helicopter ride because he is still upset about the Pierce acquisition.
