a document in Logan's safe naming Roman his successor
The document found in Logan Roy's safe names Kendall, not Roman, as Logan's preferred successor.
Full reasoning
In Succession season 4, episode 4 ("Honeymoon States"), the paper found in Logan's safe is repeatedly described as indicating Kendall should succeed him.
Two independent episode recaps describe the same plot point this way:
- NPR/WAMC says the paper "includes a note Logan wrote at some point saying he would like to see Kendall take over the company," and adds that "Kendall's name was, at some point, underlined in pencil. Or possibly crossed out."
- TheWrap likewise says the paper "indicates that at some point the old man wanted Kendall to succeed him," and notes that Shiv debates whether Kendall's name was underlined or crossed out.
So the article's statement that the document was "naming Roman his successor" conflicts with the plot as described in reliable recaps of the episode. The safe document points to Kendall, not Roman.
