Billions Season 4 Episode 4 The Overton Window 2019

     Axe and Chuck are trying to fight their way out of a tough spot.  It is the night before the primary election to determine the presumptive State Attorney General for New York.  Chuck’s deal with Axe is paying off.  Men have been hired to sabotage school buses in the district and offer a free casino trip with plenty of chips for other constituents.  These efforts will result in a record low voter turnout.  Chuck Senior is warned by Jack Foley that he is prepared to go public with Chuck’s love of sadomasochism if Chuck doesn’t drop out before the primary!!


     Wendy tells Chuck and she says in no uncertain terms that Chuck must drop out of the race and she won’t stand for their private life to be made public!!  Axe has to dup all their positions in natural gas to avoid a $500 million loss when the new breaks that a natural gas plant is going to explode.  The moment the market opens, Axe learns that their system has been hacked and it crashes.  Axe suspects Grigor?  Taylor is working with her father on a project that could increase algorithm efficiency. 


     There is a LOT going on in this episode.  What choice is Chuck going to make?  What will Wendy do if Chuck spills the beans on their relationship?  What actions will Axe take against Grigor about the shutdown?  Douglas, Taylor’s father made a LOT of mistakes when he worked for his former employer.  How will their relationship go since Douglas has not yet adjusted to who Taylor really is as a person?  Will working together cause changes in her company?   5* (I liked this episode)
