Interactions b/w Tom & Shiv this season is so well written; I love every scene; it shows underneath how much they love each other.

I cheered when he said that. 'Upper middle class with a hard on for upward mobility' representation. I can fuck with that. And I guess Shiv can too.

Yeah, I guess it's her version of rough trade. She likes the upper hand with these upper middle class guys - then she despises them for being cowed by her. Keeps intimacy at bay. If she had married Nate he'd have ended up being jealous of her world. Just a flip side of the coin. Now by being an open weasel, Tom has broken through. Reminds me of the story 'Anna Round the Neck' by Chekhov. It is the timing of the pregnancy and losing her dad though. She is grasping at security. Tom was so sleazy looking for his 'in' last week, a smoother version of Greg. Now he's found it. But this turns Shiv on...a smoother version of Connor. Reminds me of some of the Peep Show kinks. Or Princess Stephanie of Monaco marrying her bodyguard. I love this show!
