Ken Leung on Eric’s Exit: A Meditative Walk and a Reckoning

Ken Leung discusses Eric Tao’s Season 4 exit in Industry: after being blackmailed, Eric signs over SternTao to Harper and walks away, a finale Leung views as a painful culmination and possible last chapter. He describes acting as listening to Eric, the revelations about his daughter Lily, Adler’s ghostly visit, the CNN confrontation, the Dolly affair, and the long walk on Long Island (with the song Both Sides Now) that closes his arc. He hints Eric might return if the show continues, but for now treats the walk away as an end and a moment of personal reckoning about ambition, morality, and fatherhood.
