On one hand I really liked it as well - it certainly took a bold turn, in more ways than one - but on the other hand it's kind of insane how this show has, in total, essentially "killed off" four of its best characters... Gus, Rob, Rishi, and now Eric, all in somewhat unsatisfying fashion, the last two at such random, unexpected times in the season. It just feels a bit too much like they're going for cheap shock value, especially when all we're left with is ****ing Harper, Yasmin, and sad sack Henry.

My thoughts as well.
Amazing episode, but we keep losing characters I like.

I was annoyed with myself that it did not hit me until this episode that Halberstram has to be a reference to American Psycho.

Originally I wasn't sure what I thought about the Epstein angle they introduced in this episode and whether it's kind of brilliant or lazy. The more I've thought about it the more I'm not only on board with it, but it's kind of genius when I think about how it's interwoven with so much of what's happened to so many characters this season. Whitney has been an absolute agent of chaos this season, he'll be in the argument for the best single season character on Industry. I feel like I'm going to need to rewatch this whole season as soon as it's done to piece it all together because I know I haven't been picking up on everything.

If that's the last we see of Eric it's a real bummer, especially since that means it's just that much more screen time for Harper.
