But of course, other players had big days today, too, so lets get started.
Donnie
After a meeting at work, Axe noticed something was up with Donnie.
His employee looked unhealthy and had run from the conference room to the bathroom.

So Axe followed him in there, only to find out that Donnie is struggling with pancreatic cancer.
Hes only got a few months left to live.
Selfishly, this gives Axe an idea.
What does Axe want in return?
Donnies cooperation, naturally.
What would his quality of life be?
he asked/told the doctor, who immediately understood what Axe was really getting at.
Yet, its unclear right now what exactly Axes motive here is.
Is he selfishly worried that Donnies continued presence could cause his double-agent plan against Rhoades to backfire?
Perhaps he thinks the longer Donnie lives, the more of a chance he has to screw this up.
Or is he simply being cheap?
Or, perhaps, he was he genuinely concerned about the quality of Donnies final days.
At the moment, only Bobby knows for sure.
Everyone on the trading floor is cheering his name like he just won the Lombardi Trophy.
Hes on top of the world until Axe angrily calls him into his office.
But it turns out, Axe is just fake angry.
Theres shouting, pointing, poking, shoving, face-reddening.
NEXT: Bobby exacts his revenge
Given Dollar Bills unquestioning loyalty to Axe Capital, the plan works brilliantly.
First, Dollar Bill gives the Ionosphere trio a tip that nets them huge returns.
They eat it up, and a day or two later, realize theyve been had.
Thats when Axe himself walks into the room.
(Weirdly good timing, Bobby!)
With their tails between their legs, the Ionosphere Three accept.
Connerty and Kate
Theyre officially doing it now!
Chuck Rhoades
Few big pieces of news here.
Remember that judge that got in Rhoades way last episode, the one played by Anthony Edwards?
Well, he obstructed Rhoades will once again this week by ruling in favor of Dollar Bill Stern.
In his ruling, he even admonished the prosecutors for pursuing a personal vendetta.
And then Rhoades can replacethatposition at the A.G.s office with an evenfriendlierface.
Rhoades agrees to leave, but not before having the most awkward handshake in the world with Bobby Axelrod.
And with good reason because Wendy seems to be doing a little of digging herself.
Youre never gonna keep them down!
