There are two kinds of people in this world, those who are fascinated with Shiv's chemistry with Matsson and those who are fascinated by Shiv's chemistry with Tom Wambsgans #succession
I am on the Matsson side, it is chaotic and interesting whereas her deal with Tom seems very Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and contrived
Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I think both men are playing Shiv and she's largely unaware of how they know exactly what to tell her to flatter her ego. Matsson tells her she reminds him of her dad, and Shiv allies with him right away.
And Tom worms his way back in by flattering her money and power, and saying how he can't live without it, and he needs his career -- and that reminds Shiv that he's hers to control, and she forgets about his cheating for that.
Shiv is no less blinded by ego than her brothers are, unfortunately. She's just working a more indirect angle than they are.
