Ep 11. Golden Frog Time

In episode 11 of season 2 of Billions, the tension between Bobby Axelrod (played by Damian Lewis) and Chuck Rhoades (played by Paul Giamatti) continues to heighten as they both make moves to outsmart each other.

Axelrod, still reeling from the losses he suffered in the previous episode, finds himself in a tight spot when he must choose between his loyalty to his longtime friend and business partner Wags (played by David Costabile) or doing what is best for his company. Meanwhile, Rhoades, still seeking a win against Axe Capital, enlists the help of an unlikely ally to gather evidence against Axelrod.

As the two powerhouses go head-to-head, tensions rise even further between their respective love interests, Lara (played by Malin Akerman) and Wendy (played by Maggie Siff), who are caught in the middle of the feud.

The episode also explores the backstory of Taylor Mason (played by Asia Kate Dillon), Axe Capital's newest employee and protégé to Axelrod. Viewers are taken on a journey into Mason's past and learn about the struggles and challenges they have faced as a non-binary individual in the cutthroat world of finance.

Ultimately, the episode sets the stage for an explosive season finale as Axe and Rhoades continue their game of cat and mouse, with both men determined to come out on top. Will either of them succeed, or will their bitter rivalry come to a dramatic and potentially devastating end? Only time will tell in “Golden Frog Time”.
