Industry S4E2 ”The Commander and the Grey Lady” | The Henry Muck Episode

Send us a text

Henry Muck is a key character in Season 4, and this episode gives us a much richer picture of who he actually is. In an unexpectedly cinematic, poetic installment that departs from our typical finance-driven fare, this episode plays like a haunting (both literal and emotional) centered around his character. 

We fill in the missing backstory of Henry and Yas' early engagement, early marriage, and his failed attempt to get a political career off the ground. But the mood shifts from public failure to private collapse, as Henry descends into an infantilized state of drug dependence and depression. Yasmin is thrust into the role of caretaker against her will, and we see their relationship framed in a new light, one that ultimately culminates in an epic confrontation. Both Yas and Henry are forced to confront the ghosts of their past: Henry's being the emotional inheritance of his father's suicide, and Yas being the twisted inheritance of her father and his sexual deviance.

Will Yas be able to pull Henry out of his darkness by orchestrating a lifeline through a job at Tender? Or will Henry succumb to his genetic inheritance and take his own life? And will something better be born out of this union? Or is their union in fact going to birth something upon the world?
