 Episode notes 
Matsson Sees The Deal As Personal Conquest
- Lukas Matsson treats taking down a legacy family as a thrilling personal conquest rather than a simple business move.
- He sees himself as a disruptive 'hand grenade' who enjoys shaking up elite institutions and banquets alike.
Playful Exterior, Restless Interior
- Matsson mixes playful prankster energy with a deeper sadness and restless attention.
- Alexander Skarsgård emphasizes Matsson's fast, wandering mind and subtle underlying melancholy.
Costume Choice Came From Actor's Own Clothes
- Skarsgård recounts wearing his own casual clothes on set to shape Matsson's underdressed aesthetic in a major scene.
- He deliberately used an old t-shirt and rubber slides to contrast with the Roys' immaculate look.
