Assuming you have the 4 kids plus Logan, the ex, and maybe the current wife for 7 total so you would need 5 or maybe even more for a super majority

Logan would also know that Shiv and Roman likely wouldn’t want the deal either.

The show talks about opening up the divorce so the mom can get the London flat before the merger of equals talk even takes place which is well before the takeover talk.

So if Logan needed Tom to tell him that he needed a super majority or that the kids would come after him then he wasn’t being Logan. Tom would be there as head of ATN regardless so his presence doesn’t necessarily mean he is guilty.

So Tom is innocent but Shiv assumes he’s guilty.

The other alternative is like the prison offer, it wasn’t required by Tom as Logan was already taking care of it, but Tom did it anyways because he knows that Logan always wins.

To comment on this. Jesse Armstrong was on the Ringer Pod and confirmed that Tom had betrayed Shiv. The theory wasn't raised, but he made it as an off-the-cuff statement. He said they had shot two different versions - one where Shiv realized it; and one where Kendall was the only one that realized it.
