'Billions' Season 5 Episode 10: Fans welcome Axe, Wendy's 'overdue' love confession

Titled 'Liberty', the episode sees Axe finally confess his feelings for Wendy as he tells her that she and Tanner as a duo bothered him

Spoilers for 'Billions' Season 5 Episode 10 'Liberty'

Bobby Axelrod (Damian Lewis) and Wendy Rhoades (Maggie Siff) starting off a relationship in the fifth season of 'Billions' was a storyline that saw fans sharing their theories on Twitter. Titled 'Liberty', the episode sees Axe finally confess his feelings for Wendy as he tells her that she and Tanner (Frank Grill) as a duo bothered him. It was a pleasant surprise when she reciprocated his feelings, and that marked the start of what could be a game-changing plotline for the remainder of the season.

This start of a potential relationship could be looked at in the lens of how 'Billions' just became a little more soap-opera-like, or it could be some long-asked fan wishes coming true. And from a character perspective, this could either make Axe vulnerable or make him ooze even more badassery than he usually does.
