Its a question with a literal and figurative meaning.
Well get to all the sex in a bit, but there are other things to cover first.
Or, so he says.

Sure enough, this is just the first stage of Axes plan.
Hes in awe of Rebecca, and the surefire way she pokes holes in the investment pitch.
He likes her ambition and her no-nonsense behavior, but he also likes that she represents an opportunity.
He needs a true partnership with someone who can help him take Taylor down.
He gets his employees to dig into Rebeccas portfolio.
With that knowledge in his back pocket, he sets up a dinner with Rebecca.
The two instantly have chemistry; theyre basically the same person.
He wants in on some of what shes got just to be a team.
When she lists a few ideas, offhandedly, Axe jumps on Eureka.
She seems suspicious that he wants that one so bad, but cant quite figure out his motivations.
One thing is clear though: shell let him in on Eureka, and shell sleep with him.
There was just no way this meeting was ending without them going back to a penthouse and having sex.
It doesnt take long for Axe to keep scheming though.
Rebecca sees what hes done, and shes both pissed and impressed.
As they say, all is fair in love and war.
Axe, of course, isnt the only one making more power plays.
Taylor, attempting to outmaneuver Axe, meets with Grigor.
The thing is, these guys are dumber and more dangerous than Grigor.
Its a storyline that doesnt get much play in this episode, but its fun enough as it is.
That means Axe orders Patriot Trust to squeeze the Kozlovs, which gives Taylor exactly what they want.
On top of all that, Grigor isnt upset, but rather impressed.
It turns out he was testing Taylor, seeing what theyd do under pressure.
He grins and agrees to the proposal.
Lastly, we can talk about Chuck.
Hes moving swiftly back into power, or at least close to it.
He gets even closer with the police commissioner, Richie Sansome, in this episode.
After securing the concealed carry permit as a favor, hes moved on to making deals for the man.
As Axe says, everybody wins…and maybe Panay loses.
He knows a good partnership when he sees one.
So, like I said, everyone is sharing beds right now.
Theres nothing wrong with Chuck relishing in his victory, in getting one step closer to reclaiming his throne.
But hes in big trouble if he forgets the ruthless queen who helped get him there.
