How are cerita lucah tukang kebunyou feeling? Have you recovered from the emotional rollercoaster that was Succession Season 4, episode 3, "Connor's Wedding"?

The poster depicts the Roy family standing on a skyscraper balcony overlooking the New York City skyline. However, the hint is not lurking in the crowd of brooding Roys. Instead, it lies in wait towards the reflection at the top of a poster: a lone plane, flying through the clouds.
It's as plain as the plane on the poster's face. Credit: Courtesy of HBO Aviation has always played a large role in Succession. The Roys are constantly jetting off to who-knows-where — and you know they aren't flying commercial. Succession often uses flight as a power play too, such as when Logan blocks his children from departing in a company helicopter in Season 4, episode 2. However, air travel is about to take on a whole new meaning in the context of Succession, as Logan collapses and passes away mid-flight on his way to meet up with Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård).
A plane en route to discuss an acquisition deal might just be the most Logan Roy place to die. The man is incapable of turning his business brain off, even on his eldest son's wedding day. Plus, thousands of feet in the air, he's completely isolated from any of his family. It's a physical representation of his emotional distance from his own children.
