#greg succession

Just started watching Succession and so far I really relate to Greg because I too call my mom every time I’m distressed

maybe i’m just really fucking slow on the uptake but am i reading into this scene right?? once tom offers himself as the beating post to logan, after having discussed it with shiv the night before, he makes the now (in)famous call to the mysterious rex hendon for legal advice.

he’d claimed to shiv (and greg) the day before that he’d be meeting a lawyer and even reports later to shiv how he was told that jail time was inevitable for someone in his position.

BUT!! this doesn’t check out? if tom only made the call to hendon AFTER getting confirmation that his girlboss wife and her dad were willing to sell him out so easily…then was he just bluffing about the previous legal advice???

idk is this dumb i need someone to tell me what they think please <3

wanna come with me, sporus?
