The “Succession” writer’s room successfully kept Season 4 Episode 3’s shocking twist a secret by using code, writer Georgia Pritchett revealed Tuesday.

The episode, titled “Connor’s Wedding,” revolves around the Roy family’s reaction to the surprise death of Logan (Brian Cox).

This was a tough secret to keep! We decided it in the #Succession writers' room in Jan 22. So nobody found out we used code on the whiteboards. Larry David meant Logan Dies. So episode 403 said Connor's Wedding, Larry David. Mind you, that would also have been a great episode.
