Hey, rememberThe Slap?
Well, this is theBillionsversion of that, so of course its called The Punch.

Naturally, this information gets back to the Axelrods.
So what does Bobby do when he hears of Bruces irresponsible, child-endangering exploits?
Team Axelrod:Yet not even our boy Yonkers Bobby can run around punching people without consequence.
lawyer to talk strategy.
A star-studded war room like this can only work in Axes favor, right?
Not quite even at his own office, the punch has become jokey gossip.
Things are looking bad.
But these are the kinds of situations Axelrod strives in.
All in a days work!
Team Rhoades:Back at the U.S.
Attorneys office, Spyros is reaching Peak Douche.
Ever heard of a cortado?
He has, and he wants everyone to know it.
As for Connerty, he seems to sprinting ahead with the case.
Literally moments later, Donny is already at Axelrods door, very unsubtly asking for sensitive information.
But camaraderie isnt enough for Rhoades.
He wants dirt, and Connerty isnt delivering enough right now.
So he starts to put the pressure on Connerty by micromanaging his every move.
Predictably, it drives Connerty up the wall, and eventually he snaps.
He offers to step down from the case.
Rhoades hits him with a compelling counteroffer: How about you, um, just stay on the case?
Job well done, everyone!
NEXT: Wendy still needs a new job
Team Wendy:Over in Wendy-land, there is much unrest.
Shes meeting with a slick headhunter named Chase for some recon, just in case.
She finds out that she can do basically whatever she wants.
But… she doesnt know what she wants to do.
So Chase comes back to her later, over drinks, with an offer she cant refuse.
Its a more challenging job at a blue-chip company with comparable salary everything she wanted.
But will she take it?
Bank Notes:
This seems like a weirdly sloppy episode, or at least a strangely plotted one.
Best case scenario: Later episodes will follow through on this weeks many seemingly random dangling threads.
Worst case: This was aimless filler episode.
Im rooting for the former.
Which man in her life does she trust more?
Should she trust any of them at all?
It should be fun to see what happens when she realizes it.
Im getting some weird vibes from Headhunter Chase.
Im sure you are, too.
What future apocalypse world does she imagine is in her sons future?
Another week, another Paul Giamatti S&M scene.
roaddog789 is a weird password.
How about Rhoades peeping on Connerty from the closet like an A+ creep?
Opening the episode with The Replacements The Ledge and ending it with the painfully apt Pixies Debaser?
The shows music supervisor deserves some awards.
