Eventually, they decide Kendall will be CEO and Roman will be COO. Over the next few hours, Shiv and Roman get into a physical fight, and Tom proposes to Shiv. There is a hostile moment between Shiv and Marcia over a disagreement on whether to move Logan to a better hospital. They at least agree to go with the statement that nothing happened. When Gerri Killman and Karolina Novotney arrive, they still haven't decided who should become CEO in Logan's absence-information they need before the stock markets open. Īfter Logan's stroke, the brothers are all trying to do damage control, green lighting potential obituaries for the media to run after the doctor informs them Logan had a hemorrhage stroke and is currently unconscious and unresponsive. After the game, Logan instructs all his kids to fly in his helicopter, and after a disagreement, he sustains a hemorrhagic stroke. Colin discreetly asks the boy's family to sign an NDA and re-gifts Tom's gift to the family. At one point, Roman offers a kid $1 million if he can hit him a home run but loses. After lunch, they decide to enjoy their traditional game of baseball, arriving by helicopter on an already set-up field. Logan calls for a meeting with all his children and presents them with papers to sign, leaving his wife, Marcia Roy, as Successor to the company. That evening, Tom and the rest of his family celebrate Logan's 80th birthday and are introduced to Greg Hirsch. Tom wants to get him the perfect gift and ultimately decides on an expensive watch, though Shiv warns him he won't like it because he doesn't like gifts. Siobhan (Shiv) Roy and Tom Wambsgans are out birthday shopping for Logan. Tom describes his mother as a highly respected lawyer in the Twin Cities and a "hard ass." He is a graduate of Cornell University. He is originally from Saint Paul, Minnesota, and mentions he "didn't come from money" while Shiv did. Tom is a calculating and knowledgeable person, stashing information for when it can serve him and siding with the more powerful adversary during a fight in order to win. He was cited using a human being as a foot stool, and when his building came under fire, he pushed several people out of the way in order to get to the safe room. On the other hand, among people of 'lower' status than himself, Tom is abusive and thoughtless. As the show continues, this relationship undergoes immense strain as Shiv puts her priorities far before Tom's or her relationship with him. When Shiv asks for an open marriage on the night of their wedding, Tom is clearly upset by the news, but because he loves Shiv, he bends in order to stay with her. With his wife, Shiv, Tom is deeply in love and devoted to her, but is aware of the unequal power and love dynamics between the two. He is intimidated and terrified of Logan Roy, often humiliating himself in order to gain clout with the titan of industry, but later bravely offers himself as a blood sacrifice for Logan, earning the titan's respect and admiration. Tom is a man of many faces, and that is mostly due to his standing within the Roy family.
