It's a lie. It has to be. There's not a single piece of Tom that believes he would ever do this. How would he be capable? Why would he do it?
Why would he do this?!
He has to really think about it, mulling over Angel's words, seething with anger at the accusations, how eager the population is to believe it, how quickly he's been turned on, how quickly he's been thrown under the bus.
These people are his friends, his family, and this is a betrayal. And it rocks him to the core.
Jo comes barreling through the door and he jumps. There are some things strewn across the room, victims in a fit of rage. His knuckles are bleeding, matching a dent in the wall next to the door but he's still him.
He's still Tom.

And yet how can he be sure?
Fuck, no, there isn't room for doubt. He can't allow himself to fall down that hole, he's too easily manipulated, too self destructive. And he knows himself well enough to know he would never, ever hurt the people he cares about. ]
