Chuck, who wasn’t previously aware of Prince’s involvement, advises Krakow to resubmit his real-estate plans on the up-and-up instead of through shell companies, the better to stick it to Prince.īut the mayor’s anti-stadium news conference kills Chuck and Krakow’s anti-Prince maneuver - which, in turn, drives Krakow and Prince into each other’s arms.

This sends Krakow scampering into Chuck’s office, demanding to know why on earth he would help Mike Prince on a matter like this. So he takes his case to the city’s new mayor, Tess Johnson (Gameela Wright), advising her to speak out against plans to build a new stadium in Manhattan, seen as crucial to the Olympic bid.Īt the same time, Chuck’s ace, Kate Sacker, uncovers Krakow’s role in the Olympics ploy and kills his various land deals. Rather than allow Krakow to elbow him out of the position he himself planned to take, Prince offers an alliance and is rebuffed. Their bank roller: none other than the disgraced former treasury secretary Todd Krakow (the ever-delightful Danny Strong). As a friend of Mafee, who quit the firm with Dollar Bill after Bobby Axelrod’s ouster, Ben hears that Mafee and Stern’s outfit is snapping up land in anticipation of New York City’s 2028 Olympic bid. The episode begins with a late-night rallying call by Ben Kim, one of the more timid soldiers in Prince Cap’s newly acquired army. In the end, Chuck may find the former more effective than the latter. It’s a feat of bargaining so impressive that it literally drives Prince’s enemy Chuck Rhoades into the street, wielding a bullhorn instead of his authority as Attorney General. “I look at every competitor as a potential partner … right up until I can’t anymore.” As far as one-sentence encapsulations of the Mike Prince Method go, it’s hard to beat this statement by the billionaire coprotagonist of the sixth season of “Billions.” In this week’s episode, titled “S.T.D.” (it’s not what you think), Prince drives one such competitor - one of the more odious figures in the “Billions” legendarium - to the edge of defeat, then rides in to save his bacon and enrich them both.
