I can't quite put a finger on how Shiv really feels about Tom. Going to save his job shows she feels something for him, even if she's willing to pimp him out, throw him under the bus, cock block him and force him into an open marriage as long as she can benefit professionally and personally. From a business sense there's little reason for her to have married Tom, as the chances of Tom ascending the ranks and becoming a major head of the company and being the ideal power couple is laughable. Not sure if it made sense politically either, as Tom would have been working for the company her political client resents to the upmost. There has to be some shred of feeling there, but her quest for power stomps all over it.

Either have them go through separation or divorce proceedings or seeing them in family counseling would be an amazing thread for S3.

But yeah, Shiv is a shitty person, a pale (in comparison, not skin tone) female version of Logan, but no killer, and not built to run the company in his eyes.
