And yet, it's all for naught. Prince has gotten to everyone he needs to, and Chuck not only loses his closest ally in the senate, but also loses his post as AG. Perhaps this isn't as shocking as Axe getting ousted last season, but this is still a seismic shift in the show.

Paul Giamatti, left, with Corey Stoll in “Billions.” “What is happening is part of an evolution which started when we were examining a certain kind of billionaire,” Koppelman said. “We wanted to see if there can be such a thing as a billionaire who isn't a drain on society.
“He lost a bit of weight, shaved off the beard (after a lot of years), lost a bit of hair (right at the top of the head), and his hair is now all white,” that viewer observed. “All those changes in his appearance, which almost all of us are seeing at once for the first time in over a year, make for a huge impact.”

It just wasn't clear that his retaliation would, in fact, be a death blow. But that's certainly what it seems to be. Sweeney and the State Senate remove Chuck Rhoades from the office of state attorney general, the result of an elaborate scheme concocted by Prince.
After bouncing back and forth to a series of flashbacks, it ends as Prince loses $3.5 billion but salvages his political career and Chuck is sprung from jail for the express purpose of ending that career. TL;DR: It's complicated!
