'Industry' Season 5 Needs To Address These 8 Things (or Else)

After the Season 4 finale Harper Stern launches SternTao, a short-only hedge fund, and shorts Tender after uncovering a practically nonexistent valuation and fake offices in Accra, netting a £110 million profit. Having proven she can run a fund after Pierpoint, Harper treats the work as "life or death," and Season 5 must show her next move and whether SternTao can survive the fallout from Tender.

Eric Tao accepted Harper’s offer but leaves when blackmailed with an illicit video to protect her, so his return is uncertain. Hayley Clay is revealed as a former escort employed by Whitney to obtain compromising footage and may possess a recording of the Vienna threesome.

Whitney himself escapes with a Lithuanian passport and cash, reportedly flying to the Philippines and entering China, and the series still needs to reveal who he was working for and the full scope of the operation behind Tender.
