I think it was not a deliberate or really even conscience act of Tandy to be cruel. I think it is a possibility to be aware for future episodes. Possibly an internal struggle for him to deal with.

I loved it when Melissa (January Jones) pulled the gun a blew away the drone like Betty did the pigeons on Mad Men. Does anyone else think Carol could be pregnant be Todd? After all Todd gave a sample to Tandy to test the sperm test and Tandy was desperate to get Carol pregnant.
