Another episode, another twist...Don't know what to expect from the finale

Warning: Spoilers
Just this morning while taking my usual shower I was thinking about different topics but most of all I was trying to get the answer to one fundamental question - who is gonna become the new Logan(c'mon, the title is Succession, it should be someone among the siblings, right?). My bets were that everything leads to Roman. Well, think again after you watch this episode. It definitely showed me how stupid I am and what geniuses are the writers. Once again they successfully caught me in their web and after that blowed my mind with another twist. By the end of the episode you see the 'pre-grieved' Roman totally emotionally devastated and drained, unable to continue with the big game and new front leaders in the race - the gaining power Logan-wannabe Kendal who is playing his moves like is a perfect chess game(which is the absolute opposite of his inadequate behavior at the beginning of the episode) and Shiv who is finally starting to gain some leverage from her relationship with Mattson. But this time I'll be smarter and won't make conclusions, I expect anything to happen in this epic(hopefully), like everybody is saying, finale.

Almost forgot. The speech of Ewan...oh, boy. Watched it couple of times in a row. It's really something to see. For me, this is the moment which set me in the right mood for this classical can't be better Succession episode.
