Tom Haverford ultimately ends up married to Lucy (portrayed by Natalie Morales).
In the series' future timeline, Tom's journey after his time at the Pawnee Parks Department takes several unexpected turns before he finds lasting personal and professional success. His marriage to Lucy marks a significant milestone in his personal life.
His entrepreneurial spirit, though initially leading to setbacks, eventually paves the way for his ultimate triumph. After attempting to franchise his restaurant, Tom's Bistro, he faced significant financial challenges, losing everything due to a combination of factors including a stock market decline, a credit crunch, and even a national beef shortage.
However, Tom leveraged these failures as a springboard for a new venture. He wrote two highly successful self-help books that focused on embracing and learning from failure. This unique approach resonated with a wide audience, transforming him into a massive success and an influential figure.
Here's a brief overview of Tom's trajectory:
| Relationship | Business Ventures | Post-Failure Success |

| Married Lucy | Tom's Bistro (franchise attempt) | Author of two best-selling self-help books |
| Losses due to market conditions | Became a massive success |
