What's up everyone I'm Melissa Elise and you're watching Melissa Elise TV welcome
to my billion season three episode one tie goes to the runner review let's jump in
It's pretty clear that chuck is still riding the high from his role in axes
arrest but the new AG makes an appearance just to make sure that the
Southern District understands its priorities besides the new AG this
episode was full of people in new positions we actually get to see Taylor
in action as CIO in Axe Caps new headquarters and Axe himself is in a
new apartment in the city and though no one has actually said the word divorce
yet it's pretty clear that Axe and Lara are separated I have to say I wasn't
expecting lera to leave axe I understand her anger at him lying to her again and
not coming home before his arrest last season and I wasn't thinking that they
would be all lovey-dovey again or even on okay terms but still I didn't expect
them to be living apart with the very real threat of divorce looming overhead
if they haven't already gotten divorced but that might be the least of axes
worries right now the big question of this season is not only where does axe
stand in the case against him but where does axe cap stand and at the beginning
of this episode the company and its employees are floundering after Oliver
Dake freezes all of Bobby's assets and with no money to trade that doesn't
leave a lot of options for axe or his company so there's really two big ideas
in this episode one of which is introduced by another character in a new
position Ari Spyros who is axe caps new head of compliance
I suppose if there was anyone I expected to jump ship or switch teams it would be
Ari though it's not like axe can pay him very much if at all right now
hence Ari introduces the first big idea which is to have an axe agreed to stop
trading axe responds like you had expected to but he has a change of heart
before the end mainly because of Wendy's promptings
Speaking of Wendy, she and Chuck
seem to be doing good I'm sure I'll say this multiple times in
the season but I'm not really a big fan of Wendy and Chuck together and I'm
still holding out hope that we'll find out what's really behind Axe and
Wendy's relationship anyway I think I actually have to amend what I said
before because there's actually three big ideas in this episode in addition to
Axe giving up trading to get his money back there's also the idea dinner with
all the big hedge fund players which I pretty much assumed that Taylor was
gonna end up going instead of Axe because now he can't be seen as having a
hand in the trading side of the business we'll see if axe actually keeps to that
or not but Axe's focus or idea in this episode was to shape how the story is
told going forward and preventing it from being one that says that Axe Cap is
a crooked shop and that he built his empire by cheating this episode kinda
has me scared for axe for the first time he's never been this vulnerable but I'm
glad that he and Wendy are working together more and I love the whole team
of Axe Wendy Wags Dollar Bill and Taylor Axe Cap will definitely survive because
of them I'll also add that Dake seems a little out of his element so far last
season he acted like he was stronger and bigger and badder than Chuck but now he
looks like he's giving into Chuck's charm and manipulation partly out of
necessity they have to work together but also because he is out of his element
and Bryan is not buying his act of having it all together so in answer to
last week's question of the week I think this season could end in a draw I don't
see axe going away or doing any real time and Bryan might try to bring down
Chuck and Dake down but the AG has a reason not to let that happen and so does Foley
but this week I want to know what you guys thought of episode 1 did you like
it did you think this was a good start to the season
let me know in the comment section I'll see you guys next week but until then
