After watching Industry Season 4 episode 7, my brain is doing cartwheels.
No cap, if I weren’t holding a cup of coffee, I might have dropped it multiple times.
It made sense on paper: Harper is hell-bent on shorting Tender, and if she succeeds, Yasmin would have been collateral damage thanks to her connection to the company.

After all, she’s not just any employee; she’s married to Sir Henry Muck, the CEO.
So I was low-key expecting all the office tea and chaos to completely take over.
But of course, Industry couldn’t just let things be, and by the end of the episode, Harper and Yasmin are hanging out like old pals, cracking jokes, and actually showing an actual human side to each other.
Suddenly, the Harper versus Yasmin showdown that seemed inevitable feels off the table…at least for now.
Yasmin made a savvy move, shifting her allegiances just in time to avoid being crushed. Tender is still wobbling, yes, but the anticipated battle is officially postponed.
As a fan of Industry Season 4, I’m equal parts thrilled and side-eyeing. What does the finale have in store? Time to don my crystal-ball hat and predict the twists!
Yasmin and Henry’s Relationship is Hanging by a Thread

If I had to bet, I’d say Yasmin and Henry are about to hit some serious drama vibes, because right now, things are looking kinda shaky between them.
Yasmin deliberately left Henry in the dark about what Tender’s endgame could look like, all because of that FinDigest article, and I guarantee he’s not going to be thrilled when he finds out.
She didn’t just sit back, either: she nudged Harper into publishing it. Sure, some might call it backstabbing, but I call it self-preservation at its finest.
She even tried giving Henry a heads-up about Whitney, but of course, he just ignored it and went full steam ahead with Whitney’s ‘brilliant’ plan, like nothing could go wrong.
Also, the same Pierpoint that has been causing headaches for three seasons before Al-Miraj stepped in.

Now, let’s talk romance or the lack thereof. There’s a cold chill where sparks used to be.
Yasmin’s move makes it clear she’s more concerned about keeping her own head above water than saving a sinking marriage, and Henry isn’t exactly doing himself any favors.
My money’s on a showdown between these two before the finale ends… a heart-to-heart or maybe a full-blown shouting match that could officially call it quits on the Muck marriage.
Yasmin might walk away from the name and all its perks, but Henry?
Well, if Tender drags him down and he lands in hot water legally, he loses way more than just a title. And that, my friends, is where the real drama kicks in.

Sure, Lisa Dern resigned, waving goodbye to her shiny government title, but she’s barely the tip of the iceberg here.
She may have been cozy with the company, but the real heat lands on her subordinate, Jennifer Bevan.
Just because Lisa’s stepping down doesn’t mean everyone’s off the hook. Of course, the CFO and CEO are staring down the firing line, and that’s exactly where Henry comes in.
Now, in a perfectly just world, Whitney should be the one sweating bullets.
He’s the architect of this whole mess and has been plotting nonstop to make sure Henry catches the blame.

They bring Henry in as CEO, use Hayley as a honey trap, and set him up for a fall. With Whitney disappearing, Henry has no choice but to waltz straight into chaos.
But wait.. Whitney actually seems to have a soft spot for Henry. I know, it’s confusing.
Does that mean he might try to pull Henry out of the fire without getting roasted himself?
I wouldn’t bet on Whitney taking the fall, but maybe he finds a sneaky way to help.
My gut says Henry is going down with Tender, and with his marriage dangling by a thread, it’s shaping up to be bleak times for our man.
Did any of you guess this is where he’d end up after that redemption moment back in Industry Season 4 episode 2?
From Harper’s Triumph to Eric’s Exit: Industry Finale Speculations & Predictions
(HBO/Simon Ridgwa)
Okay, let me not forget that Industry isn’t just Henry, Yasmin, and Whitney; there’s a whole cast still shaking things up.
Harper, for one, is riding high right now. She finally pulled off her master plan to short Tender, and I cheered from my living room couch for her.
Sweetpea and Kwabena, her trusted partners-in-crime this season, are also in a solid spot, and I can’t help but imagine them toasting to their small victories.
Probably champagne in hand, and if they were cigar people, puffing away, but we all know Harper isn’t into cigars.
That said, it’s a bittersweet moment for her. Eric isn’t around anymore, and while we all get why he had to leave, Harper clearly doesn’t.

I keep asking myself: have we seen the last of Eric? Hopefully not, because losing Ken Leung‘s character now would be a major blow.
I actually loved how the show handled Eric this season.
And even though his exit in Industry Season 4 episode 6 felt like a farewell, I’m sincerely hoping the writers somehow drag him back into the chaos.
And then there’s Rishi Ramdani. What’s going on with him?
We haven’t seen him since Industry Season 4 episode 4, and yes, the rumor mill says he’s probably in a wheelchair and locked up for what he did.
(Simon Ridgway/HBO)
But that doesn’t mean he’s done stirring the pot.
I have a hard time believing the show would let him fade into background noise.
So now I’m dying to know what you think? Do you see Rishi making a comeback, or is he done for good?
Drop your predictions in the comments; I need to know I’m not the only one obsessing over this finale!
