![]() How could there be in something so relatively unprecedented? Additionally, the show hasn’t relied on this particular clusterfuck of interconnected relationships and rivalries as a crutch, letting them simmer in the background until conversations need to be had. But at the same time, there are no easy answers. No one has to spend the night on the couch. And it’s an even better treat that the show seems to know what to do with it by underplaying it. It’s in this unexplainable relationship where Billions has found the most dramatically fertile ground. But of all the billions of people on Earth, Wendy was able to connect with Chuck’s white whale of a nemesis to form part of an impressive duo. No, it’s that Wendy and Axe share something markedly different from a loving relationship. ![]() Chuck and Wendy’s sex life is so specific to them that Axe wouldn’t want to be involved and even if he was maybe Chuck could work that into the ultimate trust-based kinky power play of all time. And he’s not worried about them carrying on a sexual or romantic relationship. It’s not that Chuck is worried that Wendy loves Axe, he knows she doesn’t or at the very least knows she would love Chuck more anyway. ![]() That’s pretty heady, human stuff for a show about financial fraud. Wendy tells Chuck that she loves him and Chuck responds that he loves her more than anything in the world then adds “Lots of people love each other but you and Axe. His disdain for Wendy and Axe’s relationship goes even further than that, however. *Billions’ streak of truly bizarre guest stars remains intact first with “I-Just-Love-The-Music” James Hetfield and now “Let-Me-Tell-You-About-My-IPO” Mark Texieiria And at the beginning of the episode he hates that Bobby is able to set up a meet and greet with Mark Teixeira* for the Rhoades’ son Kevin. He hates corrupt business practices, of course. He’s tried to communicate just much he hates Wendy working there previously and all the explanations have felt shallow. Not because Wendy Rhoades is a once-in-a-lifetime character but rather she is the lynchpin of perhaps one of the more interesting troikas on television right now and a unique (to me at least) plot line.Īfter Chuck gets tipsy over whiskey drinks with Bryan he returns home to Wendy and finally verbalises how he feels about Wendy’s relationship with Axe. Billions is a better show for having Maggie Siff as Wendy on it. The first aspect is something I’ve highlighted several times but escalates into an even better level in Boast And Rails: the relationships among Axe, Chuck and Wendy.
