The Roy family’s biggest outsider has turned his chief weakness to his advantage — kvanaren writes on why it always had to Tom
So many of the most devastating moments in “All the Bells Say,” the season-three finale of Succession, were about the Roy siblings working through the dynamics that either they or the audience already understood — that they have been divided from the start, that unification against their father would be the only way out of the endless cycle, and that Kendall’s bottomless well of guilt was fueling the most recent turn around the Waystar Royco merry-go-round of pain.
From the beginning, Tom’s outsider status has been his chief weakness. In season three, Naomi Pierce gives Kendall a watch for his birthday, and it’s a signal of how little she really knows him, how vast the gap is between what she sees externally and how Kendall truly feels. But back in the very first episode of Succession, Tom is the person trying to give someone in the Roy family a beautiful, expensive, meaningless watch.
When that possibility was removed from him this season, Tom finds himself once again at loose ends. Every scene between him and Shiv is more agonizing than the last: She tells him to his face that she does not love him, and she treats his proposal that they have children like a potentially canny power move they should keep in their back pocket . Tom’s exhaustion is palpable. He is so downtrodden that he almost disappears again.
