In the second episode on the television show Succession,  Clio blames the quality of her fan fiction on two separate buses and capitalism.  Mireille questions the extent to which Clio is influenced by The Notebook.  Brunch menus are analyzed, the purpose of art is  determined to be to elicit horror and despair, and the pairing of Tom and Roman is repeatedly suggested. Clio says she's not into it, but her Freudian slips say otherwise.  Listen and weep - if all else fails, you can always wipe your tears on your cat. 

The fan fiction discussed 'Cause it's All the Same to Me by JustLikeAPapercut.
