It’s been a while sinceBillionschecked in with Axe’s kids.

Ever since Axe and Laura split up, the show has been solely focused on the patriarch.

But surely his children are off somewhere doing something wrong.

I mean, they can’t possibly be too well-adjusted, right?

Once again, Prince has swept in and taken something Axe thought was his and his alone.

He’s also trying to get this bank idea rolling.

Perhaps he can massage state restrictions in a way he wouldn’t be able to with Federal agencies?

It’s one thought that he has.

The headmaster can’t be bought, though.

He’s leaning towards expelling Gordie, and no amount of money will change that.

Axe sees this as an opportunity to teach his son a lesson.

They get Hall on the case, but it doesn’t prove fruitful.

The headmaster hasn’t been pocketing that money, but rather diverting it into a scholarship for Syrian refugees.

Hardly the smoking gun they’re hoping for.

So, they go dirtier.

It looks like unpaid labor.

It’s typical Axe, but it’s also more offputting than usual.

More vengeful and angry.

This season though, he’s looking real villainous.

There’s some good movement in terms of necessary plot, but not as many fireworks.

But they refuse, saying it’s not the moral position they want to take.
