The most tragic episode of “Succession” may also be its most romantic, thanks to the beautifully honest scene between the quirky couple on their wedding day.
in the wake of their father’s passing. It was actually the episode's least-talked-about moment: newlyweds Connor Roy and Willa Ferreyra embracing at the altar before a handful of guests and a sea of empty chairs. Behind them is a foreboding view of New York City against a steel-gray sky that feels appropriate for these characters’ “happiest day.”
Still, it was a brief, private moment between Connor and Willa before they tied the knot that made a rather bleak episode oddly sweet. Even someone as anti-marriage as myself found a glimmer of optimism in their glaringly unsexy union., it was hard to predict whether the show’s odd but gradually endearing Connor and Willa would make it down the aisle after Willa fled their rehearsal dinner.
Despite what his family has assumed about their financially unbalanced relationship over the past four seasons, Connor finally asks Willa if she’s just with him for the money. After taking a long pause, Willa responds, “There is something about money and safety here. Yeah, there is. But I’m happy.” Their conversation ends with Willa promising that she’s “not going to walk.” “Well, at least, not today anyway,” she says, before they both burst into laughter.
It goes without saying that marriage is a patriarchal institution that mostly benefits men and often costs lots of money. Blah, blah, blah. However, I did find something ironically romantic and idyllic about watching Connor and Willa acknowledge their legal arrangement for what it is, rather than adding some spiritual meaning onto it or assuming that it would enhance their bond.
