‘Industry’ Recap: Eric Goes on the Business Trip From Hell
(Warning: Spoilers for the Season 3 of Industry.)
Anyone who has ever been to a panel discussion knows that anything can happen when the moderator hands the microphone over for audience questions. When Industry’s Eric Tao (Ken Leung) attends an international climate conference in Switzerland, this scenario quickly becomes a nightmare when former protégé Harper Stern (Myha’la) chooses this public forum to announce several business bombshells.
Suddenly, the lack of Swiss snow (no, I don’t mean cocaine) is the least of Eric’s concerns. Throughout the episode, he racks up a series of Ls, denting his professional and personal confidence. Some people thrive in new environments, but the recently promoted Pierpoint partner is far from a big deal away from ruling over the London trading floor. Eric thinks he is a “bit of a VIP,” but on this working trip, he is just another person on a panel.
