Speaking of Axe, he issonot done calling in those favors from Chuck.
Next on his agenda is having the New York State attorney general prosecute Taylor for financial crimes.
Proof of illegal activity be damned.
But first, Tense Pizza Dinner.
Wendy is stillpissedat Chuck for going public with their BDSM lifestyle.
However, I stand by my argument that disregarding his wifes wishes to serve his own needs was inexcusable.
It is not fair that Wendy lost jurisdiction over her narrative just so Chuck could take control of his.
So Axe keeps himself occupied by throwing a billionaires tantrum over the latest bruise to his ego.
Remember how Axepaid for the schoolingof his dead colleagues children?
The colleagues who perished on 9/11 while heprofited offthe days tragedy?
(Theres even aNatalie Woodreference, for crying out loud.)
All so John will spill his guts.
Meanwhile, an elite team at Axe Cap moves most of Johns money out of his firm.
Axes message is clear: There are always strings.
Cut them at your own risk.
Using the words purge and cleansed is never a good sign, even in the name of demolishing cronyism.
Now, lets move over to the two people most affected by Chuck and Axes actions from last week.
What they need isnt Mafee comparing them to Samuel L. Jackson inPulp Fiction, but a Grigor-sized replacement.
The best option is for Taylor to pitch the New York Firefighters Fund.
Taylor is now determined to do whatever it takes to ensure the NYFFs money stays with the firefighters families.
The heartfelt pitch works, and Mason Capital is financially solvent again.
If youre a Lisa Ann fan, youre a Cory Chase fanatic.
What I also appreciated about this scene is how intently Wags listens to Wendy.
The rare flicker of his human side is always a welcome bonus.
But Wendy needs more than empathetic looks.
She also discloses that Taylor called her, but she didnt respond.
Axes response to Taylors understanding of Wendys vulnerability?
Yeah,notwhat Wendy needs to hear right now, dude.
So you reach out to someone who can, even if its your bosss sworn enemy.
Wendy has beendenying herself self-carefor too long, so yo, bring on this new friendship.
Loose Change
Wags wearing alight-therapy maskis going to haunt my dreams.
Never get on a boat calledThe Vanquisher.
Ari makes aWannsee Conferencejoke in this episode.
Because, somehow, the character with a date-rape history wasnt repugnant enough already.
