Trying to understand Shiv Roy’s motives is like playing pin the tail on the donkey, as she can be a moving target. In season 4 of Succession, Shiv appears to be indecisive, but it’s possible that it’s all part of a larger plan to distract her enemies. Her goals are unclear, from her career to her relationship with Tom. As we approach the end of the season, it’s time to ask what her end game is.
Over the course of the show, Shiv has gone back and forth about being part of the family business, Waystar Royco. However, in season 3, she became serious about playing a significant role in the company. In season 4, Shiv seemed hurt after being left out of the discussion for CEO consideration. Her friendship with GoJo CEO, Lukas Matsson, may suggest that she doesn’t care about what happens to Waystar. However, she’s been using Matsson’s intentions to her advantage, potentially planting the seeds for a Shiv takeover.
Shiv’s relationship with Tom has been confusing, and they seem to be heading towards divorce. However, after Logan’s sudden death, they’ve softened towards each other. It’s possible that Shiv’s decision to keep Tom close is another power play, as he has more pull with the senior members of Waystar and will always be loyal to her, even if she mistreats him. Shiv’s goal may be to become CEO of Waystar, pursue political ambitions, or simply crave the power of being the head of a major media company.
As the series comes to a close, the question remains: is Shiv capable of outsmarting her brothers and taking the throne? The answer is likely yes, but it’s unclear if she’ll make up her mind and make it happen.
