Jake and Tom

This page focuses on the interactions between Jake and Tom.

## Overview

Jake and Tom form a friendship beginning from Episode 1, throughout episodes they have multiple scenes together where they open up to one another about their misfortunes. Jake also repeatedly attempts to get Tom to take off his mask, trying to flirt with him. After it's revealed that Tom is a spy, Jake immediately takes the assumption that their friendship has been built on nothing but lies. Thus ending their friendship and potential romance. After that, Ellie and Miriam motivate and help Jake to try and reconcile with Tom, but every attempt ends up futile and their relationship remains rocky. Until the Episode 9 when Jake and Tom decided to talk and apologized to each other for being so harsh and selfish, Jake asked him if he still wanted to be a spy to which Tom said he didn't know but he had no other option, Tom took off his mask saying that he not longer needed it and showed Jake that he had scars on the right side of his chin (caused months ago on his first mission in which he was neglected and his captors gave them), he confessed that the mask was out of shame for his scars but Jake told him he looked good and kissed him to the pleasure of both.
