Prince is dealing with a PR crisis as Chuck must find a way to replace Kate Sacker.
These episodes are necessary.
Luckily,Billionsis still entertaining even when it’s operating at a slightly lower frequency.
“Beginnings and endings” seems to be the theme of the episode from the jump.
Let’s start at Mike Prince Capital, where a new hire has everyone talking.
How much change is Prince going to make at quarter’s end?
There’s an added wrinkle here too, as the kid, Philip, is Scooter’s nephew.
On top of this personnel shakeup, Prince has a bit of a PR crisis to deal with.
Instead, he calls a family meeting.
They know he’s pandering, but that’s part of his charm.
Prince successfully plays to the Governor’s vanity and gets him back on his side for the Olympics bid.
The details of the case make no difference, because this is all really about two things.
Firstly, it’s about how Chuck’s ego once again gets the better of him.
He gets slapped around and loses the case.
Secondly, it’s about how Chuck uses that loss to help himself.
It’s not the most compelling or propulsive episode ofBillions, but it still gets the job done.
