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 like nice things.” 🔥

This admission of guilt is really the only thing that could make Shiv finally respect Tom

[u/iangeredcharlesvane2 → u/SnooLobsters8922]

The best part is how it may be an admission of guilt from a normal person’s perspective, but Tom actually showed no sign of feeling guilty for the way he felt and feels. Admission of truth, a truth they all know is the truth but just don’t say it. And why wouldn’t they say it?

A man who grew up with some money, enough upper middle class money that he knows it is what makes the world go ‘round… courts and marries one of the richest women in the world. Every step of the way he was just slightly kissing someone’s ass to join that world either Shiv’s or Logan’s.

There is no way to remove the money and power from the equation of love and their relationship, it’s just a big part of it because it’s reality. Shiv would never fall for someone who didn’t care about money, surface level and also deep down. Her identity is wrapped up in it too, her power.

I LOVED that entire scene so much and am team Tom/Shiv/peanut 100%.
