This season, the show is going deep on each character.
Where do they come from?
Why do they do what they do?
In Yasmins case, she finds out she doesnt know as much about herself as she thought.
Dutifully, maybe even a little resentfully, Yasmin picks up the bill.
So where does Yasmin head?
To Harper, Rob, and Guss flat!
Why does she do this?!?
She is on weird terms with both Harper and Rob!
Anyway, what follows is an extremely uncomfortable interaction.
In an attempt to open up (?)
I also thinkIndustryis great at serving up horrifically awkward interactions.
He says its just how things were handled legally, and he has nothing to be ashamed of.
Harper is anxious was Jesse at all impressed by DVDs straight-edge business-guy presentation to Jesse the other night?
The catch is that DVD advised Jesse to buy up FastAid earlier at the bar.
If Jesse had followed through on DVDs proposal, it would have been a win for Pierpoint.
But Harper tells him to short FastAid through a different bank.
The bottom line is that Harper is moving in an entirely self-interested way.
Pierpoint stands to lose on their position in FasAid if Jesse follows through with Harpers play.
Robert is not just having a sexually tinged relationship with his client but is fully fingering Nicole!
They seem so chummy its sometimes hard to remember Nicole is behaving extremely inappropriately.
Then I have to remind myself that Robert is also an adult and should know better.
Last year, when they worked together, she and Nicole had a moment.
Harper declines to go into detail, but Robert understands what shes talking about.
The person who essentially splits this episode with Yasmin is Eric.
I loved getting to see more of who Eric is and how he came to be.
This sends Eric into a rage heearnedthe rank and right to pay the people who work for him.
How dare DVD pay people!
Or do bankers just have so much cash lying around this isnt a problem?)
To go over DVDs head, Eric flies to Pierpoint headquarters in New York.
The slight is loud and clear, especially when Eric is sequestered in his old bosss office.
Over Chinese food, they reminisce about what it was like when they both started working.
When Newmans wife come-hithers Eric at the end of the meal, he opts to get the check instead.
The next day, he meets with Bill and finds out that DVD called ahead.
Eric is getting sent out to pasture and taken off the desk.
His machinations, his bravado all of it has failed.
While Harper and others on the desk are making money for the bank, Eric just isnt cutting it.
His years of service dont matter to Pierpoint; only the bottom line does.
The episode ends with Eric returning to England and climbing into bed with his sleeping daughter.
While he lies there, we see a flashback of him in New York.
Was it to feel powerful again?
Whatever it is, this was one moment I thought felt out of character.
Throughout this season and this episode, weve watched Eric come undone.
Maybe Im uncomfortable seeing our resident brash guy become so soft.
Whatever the case, Eric will no longer be Harpers direct boss.
Will this cause Harper to fly or fail?
Gus then helps said man by being nice to him.
Also Gus and Leo are sweet together.
I still love Gus, but I am confused about how this character is being incorporated into the show.
I love their easy friendship.
Unrelated, but has anyone seenBodies Bodies Bodies?
