School Trip grandparents

[Don’t skip the final paragraph.]

When Drew, Jordan, and Maury meet their friend Liam’s grandparents, Geoffrey and Diana Landers, grandma’s hand goes straight for her purse. She and her husband wonder in whispers if their son and daughter-in-law are now taking in foster children. Grandpa asks how Drew, Jordan, and Maury know Liam. They all go to the same school, Drew says, Riverdale Academy Day School. “You all go there?” grandpa asks.

And when the grandparents mention that they write a big check every year for the school’s scholarship fund (get it?), Maury, child of wealth, whose father used to be Liam’s father’s boss, says, “That’s great! So do my mom and dad.”

I think that Geoffrey and Diana Landers are drawn to look unmistakably like Logan Roy (Brian Cox) and Gerri Kellman (J. Smith-Cameron) of Succession. Am I right?
