'Succession' Just Revealed Logan Roy's "Rosebud" Is His Sister, Rose

If you believe you studied the Sept. 29 episode, you're more than likely questioning who Rose is on ‘Succession.’ Is this the primary time we're learning Logan had a sister?

On a jet to his fatherland of Dundee, Scotland, Logan Roy was lower than happy to be attending a retrospective on his 50 years in the industry on the HBO sequence Succession. He's a man who likes to look forward, not again, and as the episode played out, it was transparent there are some occasions from his existence in Scotland he'd prefer to stay behind him. The maximum noteworthy was once the topic of his sister Rose.

At Shiv's advice, Kendall manipulated Rhea into giving a toast to Logan's mother Helen and sister, Rose, thereby honoring the vital women in his existence who're no longer with us. Of course, the scheme used to be meant to piss Logan off and make Rhea look dangerous. But it was once additionally the first time we're learning Logan even had a sister to start with.

So, who is Rose on 'Succession?'

We know lots concerning the Roy family tree when it comes to the dwelling. In addition to his four kids — Connor, Kendall, Siobhan, and Roman — we all know Logan has a brother, Ewan. But this episode particularly made it transparent that the patriarch doesn't relish taking a look back. 

When Connor asks his dad for a tale about his formative years, Logan says, "What, you want a big about, uh, old f-----g Rosebud?" creating a reference to Citizen Kane. "Rosebud is a dollar bill. It's whatever it took to get me the f--k out of here."

So Logan's clearly now not large on nostalgia, nor does Dundee conjure a flood of fond reminiscences. That's made clearer when Shiv, so that you could mess with Rhea, suggests to Ken that they "try Rose out on her." When Rhea consults Ken a few toast to his father, he enthusiastically advises her to toast Logan's overdue mom, Helen, "and, I don't know, maybe mention Rose, his sister Rose who is no longer with us, he might appreciate that."

It's right away obvious that Logan didn't respect that, and he puts down his glass quite than ingesting to the lifeless. Later, Logan arrives for a photograph op with the owners of his adolescence home, and he declines to even get out of the car. 

It changed into clearer that Rose died younger and that Logan blames himself for what happened when Ewan turns up. After not-so affectionately evaluating Logan to Hitler and perilous to disinherit Greg if he continues to work for Waystar, you'll assume he don't have a kind word to mention about his brother. 

And you'd be most commonly proper — there's zero love lost between the estranged brothers, yet Ewan says, "All those years blaming yourself for Rose. That really wasn't your fault. This though, this is your fault. This empire of s--t."

Despite being no fan of Waystar Royco, or the choice to call Logan's "Clickbait College" after their mom, Ewan takes pains to tell his brother the only thing he doesn't want to really feel guilt over is their sister. It's laborious to mention what that could be, or when we will excavate extra of Logan's childhood, since he is so reluctant to discuss anything else but the provide and the long run. 

Perhaps the unauthorized biography alluded to previous this season will shed some light on what took place to Rose, and its function in shaping the man Logan grew up to be.

Succession airs Sundays at nine p.m. on HBO.
