Myha'la on the Industry Season 4 Finale—and the Show's De...

What’s Happening

So get this: The HBO star breaks down those sickening final twists, the power of Harper’s strength, and how she’s approaching the upcoming fifth and final season.

The opening moments of the masterful Industry season 4 finale, “Both, and,” see Harper Stern (Myha’la) stand triumphant. Having called her shot to short the fintech banking app Tender (and, by proxy, exposing Max Minghella’s Whitney Halberstram as a criminal fraud in the process), she’s just garnered herself quite a payday.

Despite her success, the moment brings mixed feelings, as Harper’s longterm mentor Eric ( Ken Leung ) abruptly stepped out of her life a few episodes prior—and she still doesn’t know why.

The Details

A well-deserved and awaited victory feels bittersweet without Eric there. As it goes in the world of Industry , good things are fleeting at best.

The episode jumps forward roughly six weeks, as Harper goes to meet her best friend Yasmin (Marisa Abela) in Paris for a fundraising dinner in support of a new British politician she’s working with. As if the dinner—wherein Harper is seated next to actual Nazis —couldn’t have gone worse, the evening takes a left turn down into the absolute depths of hell and then some.

Why This Matters

As Harper and Yas sit and converse after dinner, the show slowly reveals that Yasmin is, ostensibly, a madame and has a group of young women, ahem, engaging in god knows what with the collected men. A (rightfully) horrified Harper tries and fails to talk some sense into Yasmin, but not before her friend reveals that Eric slept with one of the girls and that he believed her to be underage. While the audience knows the truth about what happened, the reveal crushes Harper to her core, only finding some bit of solace amongst her situationship Kwabena (Toheeb Jimoh).

This is the kind of health news that affects everyday decisions.
