The Most Underrated Succession Character Is The Solely One Who’s Not A Monster

At the start of season 1, Jess’s position is simply as a generic assistant to Kendall. She was a Waystar Royco worker first, so when Kendall’s fired after his tried coup in “Which Aspect Are You On?” nobody would have complained if this was the final we noticed of her. Realistically, Jess would’ve been reassigned to another person in Waystar, or no less than we would not have seen her once more till Kendall was introduced again into the corporate’s fold in season 2. 

As an alternative, Jess sticks round as Kendall’s assistant even after he loses the no-confidence vote. With none fanfare or specific dialogue, it turns into clear that she’s loyal to Kendall first, and Waystar second. Jess sticks round as a continuing presence all through the entire present, whilst Kendall’s erratic conduct makes him more and more troublesome to work with. You might not have seen her instantly, however by the sheer energy of familiarity, you have in all probability grown keen on her over time with out even realizing it.

Up to now, it is season 3 the place Jess has gotten her most memorable moments. Within the premiere, she relays messages over the telephone in actual time between Kendall and Logan, receiving the awkward (and really humorous) job of getting to inform Kendall, “he says he will grind up your bones to make his bread?” When Kendall fails to provide you with a witty comeback and Logan cackles at him, it is on Jess to inform Kendall, “He is sort of laughing, however not, like, good laughing.”
