I'm in two minds about what is going on with Tom. I think either Hodges has become fond of his own creation and is going to emphasize his positive qualities - loyalty, resourcefulness, empathy (when he choses) over his negative ones: ruthless, violent. Or we're going through a process of deliberately showing him in a positive light so that its all the more shocking when his true nature is revealed. I can easily see this going down the route where Abby finds she's backed up by someone far worse than Gavin, because they are far less inclined to temper tantrums. On the other hand he could just turn out to be the equivalent of Greg from the original, who always had a distinctly pragmatic and ruthless streak...
