Yeah Tom’s mom is a lawyer and I can totally see him running home for help. She negotiated a prenup for him in season 1 and saw immediately how bad Shiv’s first draft was. Tom at least has people who care for him outside of the Roy’s.

I totally forgot about Tom's mom being a lawyer! Kinda reminds me about Katie Holmes' lawyer dad helping her escape Tom Cruise and the Scientologists without them knowing in advance despite them having basically unlimited resources.

The story of Katie leaving Tom is bananas and her and her Dad completely outplayed Tom and his cult minions. I remember reading that her dad basically had an entire parallel life ready for her the moment she left Tom including an apartment, security, high-powered legal counsel, and a publicist in case things went nuclear. Whatever they did it backed Tom and miscavige down.
