Chuck Sr. is also a father again.
Lets start with Axe.
He beginsBillionsseason 5 premiere in the middle of the woods, somewhere in Alaska or perhaps Northern Canada.
Thats a lot ofwar to wage, says Wags.
Stoking rivalry is a surefire way to get Axe to do whatever you want.
So, they fly back, shave off their road trip beards, and head to the photoshoot.
But Wags has pulled a fast one: Axe isnt getting the cover alone.
Wags lied, but its for the best.
Any coverage is good to get more investors on board with Axe Cap.
Prince is as smooth and charming as he is ruthless.
But Wendy is determined to put an end to the relationship for good.
She asks him to prepare a statement to release announcing their divorce.
Axe tries to shift his relationship with Chuck as well.
Chuck shuts down a bitcoin mine that Axe has some sort of stake in.
That sends Axe into a fury, ready for revenge.
Its Taylor that talks him out of it.
They admit to Axe that they were sent back to Axe Cap to be an operative and gather information.
This isnt a surprise for him, really, but its good to hear out loud.
Now they can move forward together.
Taylor may still have their own motivations and ideas about how this rivalry will play out.
The New Decas is a fun, fast-paced episode that gets the season off to a great start.
Could that be the metaphorical image for the season?
Taylor is caught in the middle right now.
Will they break out and smash this whole thing to pieces and rise out of the debris?
Well have to wait and see.
