[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the last episode, spoilers.

Doesn't chuck have two problems.  His dad invested his entire trust fund.  Not just 8 million.  And his wife invested in the short.  Isn't he going to be stuck on the sidelines now with the new US attorney taking down his wife?  And he is broke himself.

Did Wendy invest in the short because she knew what chuck was doing?  Setting up axe.

Why did Bobby care about her investment?[/quote]

I think the presumption is that the stock will shoot back to where it was prior to the manufactured bacteria scare.

I think Wendy invested because she assumed Axe had it wired like he always did and that her husband was in way over his head.  She will be dragged down with Axe because of Chuck. Axe cared about Wendy's investment because he want's to control (or at the very least know about) everything that goes on in his shop.

I really wanted Chuck and his grotesque father to lose but oh well.[/quote]

I thought Wendy invested in the short in a moment of pique.  Another possibility is she wanted to protect what she expected her kids to inherit.

And yet another possibility is that she wanted to foil Chuck's ability to go after Axe.  Not just to protect Axe but as a punishment for Chuck for being so careless when she made a personal sacrifice to save his career.  He's been drunk on hubris ever since.

What I love about this show is that all these high stakes actions are set in motion and then get derailed in tiny, tiny moments of unchecked anger.  I keep telling my husband that Lara's going to be Axe's downfall.

What I love about this show is [/quote]
