Namely, the timeline has become a little murky: We can assume that some months have passed between “Implosion” and “Liberty” because (a) COVID has hit, (b) the Axe Cap offices closed down, and (c) Senior has recovered from his kidney transplant. Because it’s had to adapt its pre-pandemic scripts, we’re dealing with a few square-peg-in-round-hole situations. The Billions universe now exists in a post-COVID world, and through no fault of its own, the show is stumbling a bit.
It’s for this reason that I’m glad things aren’t entirely clear on the scheming end in “Liberty.” As if, gasp, the writers - showrunners Brian Koppelman and David Levien teamed up with Emily Hornsby for this particular episode - wanted us to remain somewhat in the dark.
We’ve come to the point in the season where I think I know what the long game is, but given my history covering Billions, I could still be way off.
