DMV is available to stream now via Paramount+ with Showtime.
It will make its Showtime debut on Sunday, September 24, at 8 p.m. By simplifying the narrative, the result wasBillions strongest season-seven episode yet.
Senior shouting about how he was social friends with Robert Moses was the perfect touch.
Which, of course, Senior vehemently denies.
a DMV employee and a police officer.
Never change, sir.
), with his billionaire boss.
Ruloff has created a self-repairing substance called bio-inspired vascular concrete.
Except Ruloff isnt selling, and hes not budging on this decision.
But thats not the argument that works on Chuck.
Oh, no, Senior absolutely knows when to pull out the big guns.
The DMV kerfuffle happened because Chuck and Wendy werent there for their son, but Senior was.
And he knows how to lay on the guilt thick.
Okay, we all know that Chuck and Wendy are hardly parents of the year.
Ruloff is in a sour mood because Philips good guy Prince has begun buying rival patents.
This is a problem because thank you, expository dialogue!
now Ruloff, just by doing his own work, could be seen as infringing upon Prince-owned patents.
Taylor notices Philips inner turmoil and promptly sends him to Wendy to unload.
While we dont see the details of their session, its not necessary.

The only legal solution here, at least according to Chuck, is a Spielbergian intervention.
One that will neutralize not only Ruloff but Prince as well.
Chuck arranges for the Department of Defense to declare Ruloffs self-repairing concrete classified by the federal government.
Ruloff is livid and wants nothing to do with his prize pupil, Philip, ever again.
We can tell Philip is disgusted, but he cant let it show publicly.
We know Wendy cant count on Philip to join the Fifth Column right now or ever.
But having Chuck in her corner is a huge asset.
Loose Change
I agree with Scooter and Wags.
Its better Prince doesnt know who Nikki Dial and Rocco Siffredi are.
Wasnt Dave Mahar supposed to beleading the case against Mike Prince?
Is that still happening?
I know we all look old, Rian, butScooterandWagsare undeniably Gen X, not boomers.
