Then he tells her that if she speaks to him again, he will cut her off and leave her with nothing, just like that.

Wags tell Axe that he wants to be the CEO of his new bank, Axe tells him that if that is the case he will have to resign as COO. They head to their meeting for the bank charter and are denied. Axe asks who won her over, she tells him to leave before she considers an outright ban.

Chuck sleeps with Kat. Meanwhile, Axe is in Yonkers, he bought the house that he grew up in and had the family evicted so the boy wouldn’t tell his story. He gives him the advice to move on and don’t think about this place ever again. Axe tells him that if he ever needs anything, he can call him and he is there for him.

Axe calls Wendy, she tells him that they are having a little party, he should come. He says no, she hears his voice and knows he needs her. Wendy arrives in Yonkers and finds Axe in his old bedroom. He talks about his father, he always knew when it was going to be a bad night. He would try to distract him so he would get after his mother.

Sometimes it worked, but never for very long. He felt so powerless. He swore to himself that one day nobody and no one would have power over him like that again. He says he is going to make sure nobody lives in this house again. He steals the car from his father, that he gave to his mother, crushes it, and gets it dumped in front of the house.
