Perfect episode.

All that happened in one episode? Show keeps getting better.

This show it just hitting another level right now. The scenarios, writing, and acting these last two episodes have been ridiculous. These are the type of shows you expect for the season finale. My goodness.

Only one episode left? Bummer...

Some great cultural references:

Trading Places: Mortimer Duke, " No getting around the old minimum wage" (actually said to him).

"Cus" D'Amato and Kevin Rooney with Axe as Mike Tyson.

Godfather II: Signor Roberto, "The rent stays like before".

I never thought Chuck and Ira would be friends that quickly but it was nice to see the process.

Taylor's relationship ender was the last straw.

Don't ever get rid of Ari.

I love this show, so glad they got a season 4 approval. As much as i love Chuck vs Axel, i appreciate and admire them even more when they're on the same team or at least not going after each other. I don't know if i like the direction season 4 might head in with regards to Brian, why can't he just drop the anger he has built up for Chuck? He got himself a good job, why not let "bygones be bygones" here!!!!

Connerty might be somewhat fueled by his recent humiliation at the hands of Rhoades but the bottom line is he's always been a goody two shoes, motivated more by ethics and morality (LOL, or sanctimony) than revenge.

This season has been great from episode #1 but when Chuck pulls out that slide at the Axe-Rhodes-Wendy "save our as$" meeting it really took off.

What an ending to a great season. The next one can't get here fast enough.
