Chickentown is that kind of episode.
Hes key to something big that Dollar Bill has stumbled on (or slept his way to).
Dollar Bill has all his eggs in the Chicken Mans basket (sorry).

OnBillions, its never good to have all your eggs in any basket.
Well get there though.
For now, thats enough.
Drip, drip, drip, she says.
If you ever get tired of working for him, call me, says Hall.
You know youve crossed into shady territory when Hall loves the work youre doing.
Taylor is unfazed by Axes move.
They recognize that its designed to get in their head.
Whats interesting is that this counterattack involves Taylors father Douglas, whos visiting the office at the time.
But, back to the Chicken Man.
The thing is, this Chicken Man on the scooter is a lazy dude.
There are lots of chickens, but he doesnt go around to the farms and count.
He just calls them up and asks for numbers.
The company gives low numbers, and prices remain high.
Dollar Bill knows that he can use this information for a huge gain, and Axe is on board.
Dollar Bill never loses.
A flock of Chicken Men, if you will.
Bill knows he simply cant convince them all.
So, he goes completely off the rails.
I have a solution, he tells Axe over the phone, a…final solution.
He grabs a diseased chicken from a separate quarantine farm and heads back to infect all the other chickens.
Axe and Wags show up just in time to stop him.
Forget it Bill, its Chickentown, says Wags in the episodes most ludicrous and delightful moment.
Alright, what else do we need to cover now that the Poultry Plot is out of the way?
Axe is convinced he has something here, but then he notices that theres a mistake in the math.
Taylor doesnt make mistakes like that, and he sees it as a call for an armistice.
So, the episode ends with two meetings for Axe.
Did you agree to a deal?
Did they buy it?
Axe isnt sure, but its his only bet.
Time to set up the next part, he says as they drive away.
Then, he meets with Chuck.
He can see that Chuck is willing to do anything to get back into power.
The Axe-Chuck partnership is truly sealed now.
Theyre getting ready for a fight, and lord only knows what them racket boys can do.
