[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was a wow episode. But I thought it was poor writing to expect viewers to remember who Nate was. All they needed to do was drop a line into the breakfast table conversation where Ken and Roman ask Shiv if they can invite him, or when Shiv tells Tom he is coming. None of the dialogue with him made any sense because I didn’t have a clue who he was—we last saw him in, what, the second season? Judging from the discussion up thread, I wasn’t the only one at a loss. [/quote]

What?  Nate was a major character as he is Shiv's ex-boyfriend who she met through Kendall (I think they were college drinking buddies). Nate went into politics and I thought was the COS or a strategist for Gil and they convinced Shiv to come work for Gil. Then Nate propositions Shiv, telling her he still is attracted to her and that he would sleep with her whenever she wanted. Nate has a fiancé who I think is a doctor, but he wants to sleep with Shiv again. They do start sleeping together and this is how Shiv starts cheating on Tom. Shiv even invites Nate and Gil to her wedding, them attend, Nate is flirting with Shiv, Greg sees it and reports it back to Tom. Tom then confronts Nate.

Nate is super sleazy.  [/quote]

Yeah, Tom threw Nate out of his and Shiv's wedding. Tom walked up to Nate at the wedding reception and took away Nate's wine. That's why Tom grabs a glass of red wine to give to Nate before he goes and talks to him. It was a callback to the wedding scene.

I found it super interesting and really un-Shiv like that she falls all over herself to apologize to Tom for Nate's presence at that party. They have such a toxic dynamic.[/quote]
