have proven adept at planting seeds and allowing them to flourish in the most sudden and surprising ways. For instance, it was easy to forget that Eric always had the upper hand in his power struggle with Harper throughout this season, namely because her transcript is never even mentioned.
Initially, Eric’s decision to expose Harper reads like a delicious moment of well-earned payback. But Kay thinks there’s more ambiguity to him ratting her out. “He’s basically using this little thing from her past to get rid of her before this bigger thing could potentially blow up and hurt her even more,” he explained. “I think some people will think he’s doing the paternal thing of taking a pair of scissors off a child.”
Similarly, fellow banker Robert Spearing spends the last couple episodes of Season 2 morally negotiating his sexual relationship with predatory client Nicole . On one hand, Robert is a grown man with a fetish for being dominated. On the other hand, he knows that Nicole has assaulted Harper and, most recently, new Pierpoint employee Venetia .
“Interesting thing for us is that we’ve written a version of the show which pulls away from Pierpoint. Whether that’s forever or something we walk back on, that’s up for grabs.” That’s all I needed to here so season 3 might have nothing to do with pierpoint I see.
