When will 'Billions' Season 5 Episode 8 air?

After taking a hiatus of almost two months, ‘Billions’ will be back with a new episode on Showtime on Sunday, September 5 at 9 pm EST. The episode, titled ‘Copenhagen’, will be focused on the never-ending war between Mike Prince (Corey Stoll) and Bobby Axelrod. Meanwhile, Chuck Rhoades is looking for his own place to strike, while Taylor and Wendy continue to see if they can navigate what has been a rather tenuous partnership so far.

The war will surely be intense because we can see Bobby saying that “you did a terrible mistake in coming here” to Mike while Chuck knows that he needs to do something to make a mark and needs to take someone down so that he can become the main player. On the other hand, he is also finding out ways to save his father. But one mistake can sidetrack him.



 



The official synopsis reads, “Axe dispatches Wags to dig up dirt on Prince, discovering a weakness that could wreck Prince’s ambitions. A visit to Axe Cap puts Wendy and Tanner at odds. Chuck looks for alternative methods to save his father, but a college-aged mistake threatens to sidetrack him.”

‘Billions’ Season 5 Episode 7 Recap

In the seventh episode, we saw some intimacy between Tanner and Wendy. Axe goes out to see his team and makes demands, he took some type of upper and shares it with his team. Some are in, some are out. Chuck meets the doctor that Pete referred to him. He gives Chuck an outlook on how things will go down to get his father his kidney.

During the final moments of the episode, Wags and Axe sit down for a drink. However, Taylor comes in and tells them the problem has been solved to an extent. Taylor finally tells Axe that she and Wendy took a big risk in working with Prince. The conversation made Axe really upset and he doesn’t like what he was listening.
