CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: The phoney truce is over. Kendall, Shiv, and Roman Roy all seemed to have thrown out any hint of a power-sharing agreement within hours of their father's funeral. But as the Succession siblings fight like hyenas, which of them will emerge victorious?Or will they all lose?

The 90-minute final, which is scheduled to air at 2 a.m., looks to be in accordance with the same formula, but it could be even more bloody.
