Succession Season 4 has been a rollercoaster of emotions for Rava Roy and Kendall Roy, both individually and as parents. However, the recent episodes have brought an overwhelming weight upon their shoulders.
In Season 1, viewers witnessed the downfall of their marriage, and as the show progressed, we saw them attempt to reconcile for the sake of their children and navigate the complexities of a divorced but still functional family unit. Yet, the controversial election of Jeryd Mencken threw a wrench into the progress Rava and Kendall had painstakingly made.
In Succession Season 4 Episode 9, aptly titled Church and State, Rava's decision to leave the city with their children and abstain from attending Logan Roy's funeral was finally explained.
