On Sunday night, “ Industry ” picked up right where we left off in the premiere, mere seconds after Lumi went public and a power outage rocked London. Unfortunately for Lumi and its CEO, Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington), the stock is trading lower than Pierpoint had projected — and everyone is in a panic. It’s total chaos.
Yasmin (Marisa Abela) and Eric (Ken Leung) are still hungover from their cocaine-laden rager and are trying to hold everything together. Rishi (Sagar Radia) is so mad and anxious — and seemingly plagued with some back issues — that he’s yelling at everyone. Henry is so scared his leadership has failed that he hides out in the bathroom while his de facto babysitter Robert (Harry Lawtey), still reeling from the death of Nicole, finds the courage to call out Henry for his BS.
The episode was jam-packed with revelations for Harper (My’hala) who is on the outs with what’s directly happening on the trading floor and is desperately trying to navigate her way back by working with new colleague Petra (Sarah Goldberg). Some big moments allow for Henry and Robert to unravel — and Yasmin notches a big win to swerve out of a big mess. We chatted about Episode 2 and all the big moments at Pierpoint, Lumi and beyond in this blog below.
