“Jackie, surely as much as Jack, helped make the magic we called Camelot. But when an assassins bullets shattered the dream, she showed the world that there was an unimagined strength beneath the silk. Her courage, her dignity, her grave restraint in the face of such horror held this nation together and showed us how to grieve.”

- Hugh Sidney

It raises a really interesting question about whether or not Teddy Kennedy exists in the Succession universe.

Cause… like, I know people say that the way Kennedy left campaign worker Mary Jo Kopechne to drown was why he never became president, but he certainly wasn’t locked out of power and privilege.

He was a senator for decades, even after he pled guilty to ‘leaving the scene of an accident causing injury’ (at which point, he got a two-month suspended sentence); even though he did not report the accident until the next day, presumably, so that he could give himself a chance to sober up first.

So like… does Teddy Kennedy not exist in Kendall’s reality as a reference point?

Or does he exist, and Kendall knows that the Chappaquick incident prevented Teddy from achieving his highest ambition (the presidency), and… well; Kendall just can’t swallow the idea of possibly not getting absolutely everything he wants (just because he let another human being drown).

I just noticed that in Season one finale when Logan tells Kendall "This could be a defining moment of your life. It'd eat everything. A rich kid kills a boy. You'd never be anything else." after Kendall tells him about the accident it's like a prophecy for Kendall. And just like in any tragedy, when hero's attempt at avoiding the prophecy only serves to fulfill it, same way Kendall's whole arc from then on is to avoid his father's prophecy. But in the series finale, he still ends up with nothing. He's just a rich kid who killed a boy and he'll never be anything else. And it's not about world knowing this, it's about Kendall finally realizing that this is the truth about him. That's all he is.

Teddy, Bobby, and Pat talk to campaign aide Larry O'Brien on Election Day 1960, as they watch election results.

"Even though the election was close--a cliffhanger in every sense of the word--I had always believed that Jack was going to win, even when the odds were something like nine to five against him. I suppose I believed that Jack could do anything he wanted." - Ted Kennedy
