In the penultimate episode of Industry Season 3, Eric somehow managed to stoop even lower than Harper did when she took advantage of Yasmin to short Pierpoint. As Pierpoint executives scramble to keep the company afloat on the night of the company's 150th anniversary celebration, Eric finds himself one of the least powerful people in the room and is thus on high alert, fearing he may wind up on the chopping block.
Eric Hangs Bill Out To Dry in 'Industry' Season 3 Episode 7 As the Pierpoint board weighs their options, they meet with the CEO of Barclays about an acquisition deal, but Bill lashes out, unable to stomach the idea of becoming a subsidiary to another bank. Wilhelmina advises Eric to reel him in, indicating that he'll keep his seat at the table once the deal goes through if he's able to get Bill to"fall in line.
Earlier in the season, Bill confided in Eric about his malignant brain tumor, and was, until the Mitsubishi meeting, the only person at Pierpoint who knew about it. Since Bill had already shown some unprofessionalism that night, Eric took this opportunity to play the hero, telling Bill not to feel ashamed of his cancer-induced amnesia.
Eric and Harper Are Two Sides of the Same Coin on 'Industry' Close Though Harper already had a deeply ingrained survival instinct when she started at Pierpoint as a grad, Eric instilled in Harper his philosophy of leveraging personal relationships for professional and monetary gain, separating emotions from business.
We were reminded of the harsh consequences of Eric's philosophy when he fired Kenny in the Season 3 premiere, and with everything we've seen Eric say and do throughout the series, he has no right to be accusing anyone else of being a bad person, least of all his protégée.
