The third episode of Succession is an improvement over the second. Like the first (also good) episode of the show, it's still a decent way away from great, but you can feel the drama kicking up a notch. Seeing Kendall and Roman in the workplace for most of the episode is a lot of fun, and this episode is kind of notorious for having two very gross/upsetting scenes in it. I think they're necessary, but they were awkward the first time I watched the show, and somehow worse the second time, even though I knew they were coming.
Logan's "return" at the episode's end is also great. You can feel things tighten when he has that scene near the end, even though he can't talk much and has to choose his words carefully. It's that growing conflict throughout the first season that eventually makes Succession become truly great; the second half of season 1 is awesome, and I'm extra excited to revisit those episodes.
