***** more spoilers for this season ahead, but--*****






Tom telling Logan repeatedly what he'd do for him, even go to jail.
Tom caring for sick Logan, feeling connected with him.
Tom telling Kendall that Logan never gets fucked.
Tom's obvious hurt at not just the baby stuff, but especially the "I don't love you" talk.

He's needed his path in, and he saw clearly at the end of last season and especially back half of this season that Shiv just wasn't going to keep him there. And whereas Shiv's given him no affection or respect this season, he's gotten it from Logan multiple times.

Even the wording of that talk with Greg seemed at the time like something where he'd end up on Shiv's side after their play. Can't believe in retrospect that I didn't see it coming. (The mark of great writing, obviously.)
