The refrain that rings throughout the opening scene is an intriguing one: We can make each other happy.

Billionsis no brooding drama, though.

Those two are on a collision course yet again, and Risk Management puts the wheels in motion.

More than that, though, Axelrod needs to regroup, to find a way forward for the company.

Chuck is a complicated man, you see: a man of many appetites.

But the episode really picks up in its second half.

Both Lara and Wendy are, in their own way, reasserting their dominance after a change last season.

For Lara, that means getting a school nurse fired… while said nurse is standing right there.

So cold, and yet so much fun to watch.

Told you hes as delightfully slimy as everyone else!

Chuck is never out of ideas, and before long hes got a new plan.

Moments later, while in the judges office, he gets a call from the attorney general.

She wants to see him in D.C., in her office, on Thursday.

Thats the extent of the conversation, which doesnt bode well for Chuck.

He sees the writing on the wall, but surely this cant be it for him.

Im looking forward to seeing how he weasels his way out of this one.

And really, isntBillionsall about enjoying watching the power struggle between terrible people?

Chaos in the courts and dissension among the ranks?Billionsis back, baby.
