The finale of the TV series Succession has left fans analysing the significance of Shiv and Tom's hand-holding scene. Shiv's decision to vote in favour of the GoJo deal and appoint Tom as CEO has left fans heartbroken for the character, who had to relinquish the main role to her husband. Some believe that there was an off-screen phone chat between the pair ahead of the board vote, with Tom assuring Shiv of a role at Waystar Royco. The scene draws comparisons to the "Arnolfini Portrait Painting" by Jan van Eyck, in which a couple can be seen with their hands positioned in the same way.

Succession's latest episode features a twisted rom-com between Shiv and Tom, who play a game called Bitey at a party. The episode, directed by Lorene Scafaria, showcases the duo's chemistry and complex relationship as they navigate corporate shenanigans and romantic scheming. Despite their toxic dynamic, they can't let go of each other and engage in bizarre foreplay. The episode ends with Tom realizing Shiv has Lukas on the hook, and the emotional tug-of-war continues. Succession has crafted a beautifully effed-up rom-com that's got us rooting for Shiv and Tom.
Director Lorene Scafaria discusses the latest episode of "Succession," which sees Shiv and Tom rekindling their romance, Kendall celebrating a successful investor launch, and Roman struggling with his grief and self-worth. Scafaria also talks about bringing back Logan in a surreal promo video and drawing intentional parallels between Kendall's beach scene and his pool scene in Season 3. She also reveals that Shiv's pregnancy is causing her and Tom to trauma bond, and discusses the intense scenes between Karl and Kendall and Gerri and Roman.
The latest episode of Succession revealed that Shiv Roy is pregnant, but the timing couldn't be worse for her. The pregnancy raises questions about the father, the timeline, and the plotline for the show's only female main character. While it's confirmed that Tom is the father, the pregnancy feels cliché and out of character for Shiv. The mid-season trailer hints at potential complications, but it remains to be seen how the pregnancy will play out in the remaining episodes.
