As they sit side by side in their matching black baseball caps - with Logan saying he can still see his son in charge of Waystar someday, and Kendall lovingly calling his old man “geezer” - they almost seem to be playing roles they wish were real. What makes these scenes so absorbing is that it’s not too hard to imagine Kendall, and maybe even Logan, wanting to believe the fantasy they’re selling. Josh tries to tease a little honesty out of the Roys, while Logan and Kendall pretend they’re still a loving family running a viable business, and wielding acumen no outsider can match. The biggest chunk of this episode features these three guys putting on a show for each other. Is he really an important part of their business? Is he a part of this Waystar family?
He needs to know if they think of him as a smart guy who knows what to do with his money - and is thus owed some respect - or as some speculator who got lucky, and who only has value because of what he can buy. There’s another reason Josh invites Logan and Kendall to join him at his sprawling estate. Does Kendall really want his father in jail? Does Logan really think his son is a mentally ill drug addict? How does this all end? Can the Roys maybe “close up the outrage shop”? If Josh is going to back the Roys over Sandy and Stewy at the shareholders’ meeting, he needs to know how far this family feud will go. The investor in question is Josh Aaronson (Adrien Brody), who owns about 4 percent of Waystar - a holding which, he complains, has lost 10 percent of its value since Kendall started giving news conferences. Later, when he’s asked to talk with Logan briefly on a private airstrip tarmac, before they both meet up with a nervous Waystar investor, Kendall zooms off to get to the meeting first, leaving the message, “Tell Dad, ‘Meep-meep’ … It’s from ‘Road Runner.’” For the most part, that’s the level of the attacks and counterattacks this week. When Kendall has to join a Waystar conference call to strategize about the upcoming shareholders’ meeting, he uses an unprintable variation on “Little Lord Fauntleroy” as his sign-on (which is then repeated, hilariously, when he abruptly hangs up). In “Lion in the Meadow,” the Roys take a break from scorching the Earth and get back to more subtle power plays, using schoolyard insults and small gestures of disrespect to needle each other. But as often happens in this series, this week’s episode pulls back a bit, bringing some much-needed comic relief alongside the ongoing melodrama. Last week’s punishingly bleak “Succession” episode was maybe the roughest since Season 2’s “Hunting” (a.k.a.“Boar on the Floor”). However, the origins of these strange powers remain unclear.(Check out a recap of the latest episode in Season 3 of Succession ) Season 3, Episode 4: ‘Lion in the Meadow’ Though initially shocked, the compassionate Ichirou immediately uses his newfound powers to save a life, an act of kindness that fills him with happiness and newfound hope.

When he comes to, he discovers something is amiss-he has been reborn as a mechanized weapon wearing the skin of his former self. Suddenly, a bright light appears and Ichirou is enveloped by smoke and dust. Running off into a nearby field, Ichirou embraces his dog and weeps-until he notices a strange figure standing before him. However, his life takes a turn for the worse when a follow-up physical examination reveals that Ichirou has stomach cancer and only three months to live though he tries to be strong, his family's disinterest causes an emotional breakdown. Despite this, Ichirou still manages to find solace in Hanako, an abandoned Shiba Inu that he adopts into his home.
Though his frequent back problems are painful, nothing hurts quite as much as the indifference and distaste that his wife and children have for him. Ichirou Inuyashiki is a 58-year-old family man who is going through a difficult time in his life.
