There truly hasn't been an 'average' or 'mediocre' episode of Succession since the first half of Season 1. Perhaps I needed more time to adjust to the show itself, to the characters and the narrative, but I truly believe that it has now hit the ground running.
Now, this wasn't the most extraordinary episode ever. There were a number of brilliant moments, found in the last 15-20 minutes of its runtime. Succession seems to be making a point of beginning an episode slowly, then building up to a dramatic conclusion. Whereas this felt like the beginning of the storm or a 'tempest in a teacup' as Logan called it, the storm is certainly coming.
Great performances as usual across the board, and an overall strong, developing episode that has set up the events that will inevitably follow rather nicely.
