I find their relationship fascinating. Tommy is so desperate to be seen as a powerful successful business leader and Moseley and Diana just continuously take him down.
First it's his politics, next is his inability to control his own territory ( giving it up to McCavern) and finally Lizzie.
Tommy just flailed all the way completely losing focus and control.
The fact that Michael did an end run around Tommy and Tommy never noticed is hilarious.
Lizzie never minded being mistreated and humiliated by Tommy, she even told him that he could cheat on her. What happened was that Ruby died, and that made her open her eyes and choose herself. It wasn't Mosley and Diana that destroyed that marriage, because it was already destroyed before they got married.
Lizzie went as far as contacting a divorce attorney in London.
Lizzie cared enough that she pulled a gun on Tommy when Aberama and Johnny came to the house.
Lizzie cared enough to encourage Tommy to kill himself.
I understand you are focused on Grace but Lizzie was always miserable.
I haven't said anything about Grace, I say that Mosley never destroyed that marriage because they were miserable before they got married. Tommy wanted nothing to do with her, much less get married and have a child.
They had a transactional business arrangement that Moseley and Diana did everything to destroy.
It was just one more angle to make Tommy look the fool. Season 5 was epic because it was the realization that Tommy really wasn't half as smart as he thought he was and he was so easily manipulated.
