#ntm even if shiv WAS the catalyst then. it would still mean tom's own action of a proposal to her

obviously a lot of the time a snubbing from or otherwise trouble with shiv can be directly linked to tom seeking greg out, but what's interesting to me is the fact that tom first tells greg that he'll take care of him literally within an hour of successfully proposing to shiv. and like i already fully believed it anyway but it's a nice little reminder that feeling unloved by shiv is FAR from the only factor in why tom wants greg - that he did, undeniably, just plain like him a lot from the very beginning.
