Episode 10 of Wild Cards picks up the story with Max reeling from her husband Olivier’s sudden reappearance. Two years after abandoning her, Olivier returns seeking help with a heist. However, Max has a deeper motive – revenge.

Olivier’s betrayal landed their mutual friend George in prison. Now, Max wants Olivier to steal the legendary Russian Imperial Egg from a wealthy tycoon, Jeremiah Greaves. But this is just a piece of her elaborate puzzle.

Max’s plan involves not just Olivier, but also her partner-in-crime Ricky and even Detective Ellis. She reveals to Ellis that Olivier’s past heist, which landed George in prison, involved the very same egg.

Max intends to get Olivier caught red-handed, fulfilling both her desire for revenge and the police’s long-standing pursuit of the notorious thief.

What is the Plan?

The heist itself is a marvel of intricate planning. Max utilizes Olivier’s skills to bypass a high-tech security system while Ellis distracts the target with a strategically timed compliment about his peacocks. Max’s quick thinking even overcomes an unexpected additional digital lock installed on the vault.

Just as the heist unfolds, Olivier confesses his lingering love for Max. While a touching moment, it doesn’t deter Max from her mission. Olivier successfully steals the egg and hands it off to Ellis.

The episode ends with a sense of anticipation. Will Max’s plan succeed? Will Olivier face justice? And what will become of the priceless artifact? With these questions lingering, Wild Cards leaves viewers eager for a potential second season.
