The Roys go into “Tern Haven” with a singular goal - convince the Pierce family to sell their beloved company to Waystar-Royco for the princely sum of $24 billion - and by the time the episode ends, they’ve managed the feat (though the price has gone up to $25 billion). It’s also a great example of the power of episodic storytelling. It has weird hook-ups and depressive implosions. It has business machinations and double dealings galore. My wife disagrees that it’s the show’s best episode, but will allow that it is “the most Succession episode,” which I think we can surely agree upon. The second time I watched it, my love for it only increased. The first time that I, Emily VanDerWerff, critic at large for Vox, watched “Tern Haven,” I dubbed it the best episode Succession has aired to date.
