Isaac) are confronted with a moral quandary when their employment compels them to take down “Dollar” Bill Stearn and Dudley Mafee’s new enterprise.

Here’s all you need to know about the season 6 episode 3 finale of ‘Billions.’ WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.

Recap of Billions Season 6 Episode 3

The episode’s title, ‘STD,’ doesn’t always mean what you think it does – Mafee will have you believe it also stands for “Sure thing, buddy.” Later that night, Ben Kim rushes to the office, having learnt that “Dollar” Bill and Mafee’s company, High Plains Management, had been involved in a potential Olympic bid. When Prince learns of this, he knows he has competitors even within his own city.

The next day, Chuck discovers nearly the same thing when his father arrives to complain about someone purchasing the lands that the NYAG distributes for “property usage.” This piques Chuck’s interest in the situation. While the manner in which the acquisitions were approved is not exceptional, all of the operations are recent.

Meanwhile, Wags observes Scooter switching back and forth between the latter’s impromptu office and that of Prince, and decides to abandon his own office and give it to the present general’s lieutenant. Prince instructs them to collaborate, which strengthens the professional bond between the former adversaries. By the end of the episode, they’ve decided to share an office space.

Prince, Wags, and Scooter meet with Colin Drache, President of the International Olympic Committee, to discuss how to persuade the IOC of the viability of New York as the host city. Bribes are spoken in plain English, and it is revealed that the rest of the world believes Prince is to blame for Los Angeles losing the bid. As Drache points out, the major issue will be that New York lacks a good stadium. Prince responds by assuring him that it will not be a problem for much longer.

Todd Krakow is revealed to be Prince’s secret adversary. Prince approaches him and invites him to participate in his bid. Krakow, on the other hand, refuses, preferring to go it alone. When Chuck discovers that Prince wants to bring the Olympics to the city, he decides to join forces with Krakow, despite Kate’s warnings. Since Bobby’s departure, Prince has become Chuck’s white whale. And, as demonstrated time and again, Chuck possesses the tenacity to persistently assault his opponent. This is why, despite repeated setbacks, he never gave up on Bobby.

Will the 2028 Olympics be held in New York? Billions Season 6 Episode 3 Ending: Will the 2028 Olympics be held in New York?

Mike Prince’s ultimate goal appears to be to bring the Summer Olympics to New York in 2028. Part of it stems from his desire to leave a lasting legacy in the ever-changing city. But it appears that Andy Salter (Piper Perabo), his estranged wife, is his main motivation. He hasn’t given up on them, he says her. Andy is an athlete, and he appears to be a well-known mountain climber. The entire Olympic candidacy, at least in part, appears to be a huge love gesture.

In Season 6, Episode 3, Prince overcomes various obstacles to assure the achievement of his goal by partnering with the Mayor. Krakow’s ambition to build an Olympic stadium in Manhattan comes crashing down after the Mayor says in a press conference that the stadium designs will be subjected to thorough community, committee, and environmental scrutiny.

After accepting defeat and joining Prince’s bid, the latter says that he, too, wants to build a stadium in Manhattan. He does, however, want to do it correctly. While everyone is thrilled, and they celebrate by announcing plans for the Olympics 2028, Chuck arrives, clogs traffic, and appears to shift public opinion against Prince.

The largest impediment in Prince’s path, predictably, is Chuck Jr., who appears to have acquired this anti-billionaire mindset in season 6. He considers the existence of the billionaire class to be an insult to common decency. Given Chuck’s history, Prince will have a difficult time working with the current New York Attorney General unless he can snag the latter a greater catch than himself.
