Dollar Bill counts his chickens in an outflow of billions of people

Sometimes, the title of the episode is a clue that we are not going at the peak of the season, and "Chickentown" is fine. Therefore, to say. I'm not saying it's a problem – the perfect time to kick off an episode that's bursting with laughter and where a bit of parody of oneself occurs at the beginning of the season, when we're still on the verge of enjoy. This is unlikely to be on the list of top ten Billions episodes where everything is said and done, but you may have a laugh one day remembering "the one with chickens."

Or maybe not. Vegans and animal rights advocates may be horrified by the conditions of production on the farm when the chicken man is accountable, and even lovers of poultry products among us may be uncomfortable or uncomfortable. two. Bill's "final solution" is certainly horrible, although played for a dark humor. From the beginning, however, it's literally a "Do not Count Your Hens" scenario, tailor-made (but not tailor-made) to bring Dollar Bill's confidence down to one level or another.

This confidence is complete when Bill begins his speech by channeling the Boss before moving on to the magic words: "I'm not uncertain." In one way or another (and maybe I do not really want to know how), Bill is put to the task. A meal delivery driver from Arkansas has learned that the local chicken counter is too sedentary to do their job most of the time. Instead, he calls the chicken farms to get the count of people with a financial interest to pretend that he is low. Ax accepts the game, but forces beyond Bill's control launch a wrench. The chicken report is late, and when Bill goes to Arkansas to investigate, he finds the dead chicken man at his home.

What follows is Bill's toxic need to always be right in Ax's eyes to his utmost absurdity. Once a costume team is sent to make sure the count is correct, Bill will do everything in his power to make sure he is still down. He kidnaps a sick quarantine chicken with which he plans to launch a genocide of poultry, but Ax and Wags materialize in Arkansas just in time to deter him. (This quick trip Game of thrones introduced last season must be contagious.) Unwilling to admit, Ax has its limits, and unleashing a plague is for him, especially after the breakup of ice juice. To be wrong is unacceptable in his world, but even Ax recognizes that this happens from time to time. Given his reckless behavior after Taylor, this could be a good lesson to badimilate.

This quest for vengeance led Ax to reinforce her surveillance activities by asking Hall to install special cameras "see through protective glbad" in front of Taylor's office. It turns out that Taylor's father is in town for a visit and they work together on a new algorithm on a whiteboard, in plain view. Kevin Pollak is well performed by Douglas Mason, who pbaded on his gift with numbers, but who still struggles to understand the offspring that he still considers to be "my little girl" on his own terms. This is a more nuanced relationship than the initial installation suggests, although it is not clear if Taylor's plan is to send a signal to Ax via the whiteboard calculation: they want to a truce, because to continue the quarrel is illogical. On the surface, Ax accepts their offer, but no one really believes he'll give up so easily.

On the city side of Chuck, Connerty, with the help of Sacker, continues to hinder his quest for a senior position. Senior has offered Chuck an opportunity to rejoice in the newly opened casino, but an old case haunts the former state's lawyer: an alert launcher that Chuck threw in the trash when he ################################################################################ 39, it was decided to do so. Chuck commits Lonnie to his cause, according to the general philosophy of the series, that no relationship is truly burned if both parties still benefit. Chuck loses this round, but manages to save his meeting by hiding elastic under his pants and sinking with them to sink the old juice. Wendy is still trying to get a more satisfying badual relationship with each other, but Chuck's model of awakening remains intact.

In the last minutes, the alliance that has been laughed at for many episodes has now solidified. Chuck gets Ax help in return for the promise that Ax will not be a target if and when Chuck will reach a higher position. Like always Billionsthis mutually beneficial relationship will last as long as it serves both parties. It should be as fun to watch it play as to see it crumble.

Observations lost

• The episode includes not only Bruce Springsteen's "Atlantic City" (with his clbadic opening line "Well, they blew up the Philly Chicken last night") and the performance of Dollar Bill, but also the "Chicken "by Daniel Romano is not "It's obvious that Chickentown" by John Cooper Clarke, probably because The Sopranos already used in a memorable way. Instead, we have Wags and his nerdy "Forget it, Bill. It's Chickentown "to justify the title.
• "Schenectady is Ohio State of New York."
• "This desert of the city makes you so cold. There are so many people, but it does not have soul.
• Someone else think that Michael Bolton was not necessarily the first choice for the opening of the casino? It looked like a rewritten scene by Billy Joel for me.
