In Billions season 1 episode 3 titled "YumTime," U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades and his team make their first big break in the case against hedge fund billionaire Bobby Axelrod. While reviewing documents subpoenaed from Axelrod's firm, they discover a suspicious trading pattern and possible insider trading. However, their efforts are complicated by the fact that Axelrod's longtime friend and colleague, Pete Decker, is in charge of compliance at the firm.
Meanwhile, Axelrod's wife, Lara, is focused on expanding her delicious homemade snack business, YumTime, and enlists the help of her husband and his connections to secure a deal with a major grocery chain. This puts Axelrod in a difficult position, as he must balance his allegiance to his wife and his own business interests with the ongoing investigation.
As the episode unfolds, both Rhoades and Axelrod face challenges in their personal lives. Rhoades' wife, Wendy, begins to question her loyalty to her husband and her job as an in-house therapist for Axelrod's firm, while Axelrod faces backlash from his employees after making controversial business decisions.
The tension between the two men continues to build as they maneuver around each other in both their professional and personal lives. "YumTime" sets the stage for what promises to be an intense and complex battle between two powerful men who will stop at nothing to come out on top.
