Despite the nasty reveals about Matsson this episode, this scene was weirdly adorable, like Shiv is training Matsson on how to behave like a normal person in public. Skarsgard's boyish smile the whole time added to it.
actually, bullshit. Matsson is playing her from start to finish. he just acts out the tech nerd thing. but Succession is a lot about subtlety and things that the average joe just would not pick up on.
These two's chemistry is utterly electric, even if Matsson is blatantly using Shiv. Skarsgard said in an interview how he and Snook worked together to create this ambiguous sexual tension between them, which comes through brilliantly. Matsson is a weirdo but he would've had to be at least somewhat of a charmer to form important business relationships, and these Shiv scenes really showcase that. The "Can I think?" > "No!" was so great. (And vaguely echoed the pilot - "Can I think about it?" > "Yeah." > "Yeah, I thought about it, fuck you.")
The boys (Kendall and Roman) were made interim co-CEOs which the always fragile Shiv took as a dig at her. That’s all she needed to take her ball and go home if home meant betraying your family for a shady guy you just met
Tbf she was at least smart enough to realize that neither of them had the honor or respect for her to really maintain their alliance together after the fact. The second Kendall was elected interim CEO, he was already plotting and scheming behind both their backs. Roman disregarded both of his siblings this last episode, and judging from the previews for the next episode, his first big win as CEO has already gone to his head.
Really shows how tone deaf and insecure Shiv is. She makes her pitch and Matsson says "Ok, whatever you want", and then Shiv proceeds to continue selling herself. Matsson makes the read instantly (if he hasn't already) that she's not a serious person, to use Logan's words.
Boy! Poor Shiv begged and she did not realize that Matsson was not enthused. Matsson had her number and everyone else. He told that he was not good at reading people until he was good at reading people and situations.
How Shiv thinks it’s even remotely possible Matsson would pick her to be CEO..or even on the top team…is laughable and shows her disconnect from reality. Even with the risk and her being ‘hot shit.’

A definite manipulation 💀

I definitely feel it, I admit, every time they speak, I wait for the next line to establish mutual attraction or lust & it doesn’t come 😂

Tom is going to play Mattson like a toy. Logan taught Tom well 😂

Greg is a better negotiator.
“Keep your snout out” 😒
