Basically a male Yasmin. That makes more sense. The call was to figure out what the connection was that got him the job. Looks like Eric snaked Adler just cause? Or he believed the red head shorty that was opposing him the whole meeting?
Adler told him in a previous scene. He said his family is high up in the Egyptian government, and runs a sovereign wealth fund, probably some shyt like IMDB fund from Malyasia, run by Jho Low. Which is a fascinating story, involving Pras, Tim Leisnner, Kimora Lee Simmones ex husband at Goldman.
The show highlighted this by showing his watch, his LV shopping bags lol and putting on some aftershave on the office. And Rishi said you come in here in your Versace like a faq or something like that - great foreshadowing for his character.
Adler didn't have his A game anymore. That was clear. They kept saying Mitsubishi is that a real Japanese Bank? like SoftBank?
and damn, Rishi just had no game left. Mumbling and rambling with a broken arm and a rash that was all over his neck lol
great points about Yasmin, I caught the class parts, when she refused to eat the sausage. and the whole "but that's like a basic ammenity right". but that sneering tone and delivery, about taking the 'impressionable young girl', including the finger point, I know someone EXACTLY like that, "we are not going to be doing.....any bed hopping tonight" (moves finger like you are talking to a kid) That part got to me.
and Rob's like sitting there enjoying just the beauty and romance and closeness, he's not even thinking like that. He's like hurt, like why would you act like that with your homie? whose been nothing but 100% with you the whole time.
There's something about when grown women talk about sex like kids that irritates me, men have to use like violent terms, and women tend to use very childish ones, which probably says something. I swear Yas was going to say "geting frisky" like this girl used to tell me. Like we are in the 1950's

Because women are assumed to be wh0res if we are direct about sex.
Sad thing for her is that her reputation precedes her.
And she’s used to men wanting nothing but sex from her.
I would assume Rob thinks sex is a possibility too given her behavior
For sure. That's the most twisted part about it all. used the exact phrase "where is your desire in all this" the other night...she had nothing to say, like she didn't understand the concept of the question.
they were really sexually intimate on one level, but they never had straight up sex. Did they ever even kiss? They slept in bed together, they shared secrets. Emotionally support. so it's of course something that passes your mind, every time I am alone with someone who thinks I am attractive, I THINK about it, but that's not the only reason or motive. We can sleep in the same bed, and it's cool, and I have.

In Yasmin's case part of it is what she confessed about not loving anyone, and the flip side of that is that she's clearly very broken due to the emotional/mental/possibly physical abuse from her father. You know how there are people who were abused who then cope by being hyper sexual? That's her. She never really sits with her emotions, as Rob said. She just moves from one stimulant to the next. Even with her in the bath tub and the way she immediately grabbed for the pills.
She's also not used to anyone refusing sex because of how attractive and seductive she is. Rob has to be the most interesting man she's met (on the show) because he constantly does not give her what she wants. He also managed to do what she can't: sit with his thoughts, grapple with his failures and improve as a person.
She weaponizes sex and intimacy as a guard against vulnerability/feeling vulnerable. Even their sexual relationship, it's still super intimate on some level, because the other person really sees you. Sees the you that no one else does. Even the dude Maxim, they had like really casual, boring sex. They knew nothing about the other they didn't already.
and for some, esp. a Yas, it's really hard being that vulnerable.

Like Eric said to the ceo in the bathroom, he(Eric)doesn’t believe in anything but the trade, cares about when it makes sense…
He did the quick analysis, and realized Adler was too precarious to bet on, and decided to cash out
Saw an opportunity to jump up on the totem pole.
CEO started the meeting asking who the fukk he was, now he sits at the head of the table. Latching himself to Bill meant being connected to someone that was butting heads with the CEO, someone that has 4-5 months to live.
Just listened to a podcast with the guy that plays Eric and he said that he saw it as another way Eric takes out his frustrations with Harper on someone else. Mentioned firing Kenny because he asked him about coming into the office smelling like liquor as another example.
Damn Claire Denis name drop
. She’s one of my favorite directors of all time. I love how silent her movies can be in certain scenes, allowing the landscape tell some of the storyDamn Claire Denis name drop
Have you seen Stars at Noon? Have honestly only seen two of her movies, that and Let The Sunshine In
Uuuh… if anything, I think the possible smirk meant “Wow, that MF really got me”
Not “well, if it was gonna happen, glad it was him”. It being Eric makes in 10x worse lol
Could've been. Eric said the exact same line Adler said to him in the episode when he revealed his tumor to Eric.
As much as they are friends, Adler did sideline him. Eric doesn't seem like the type to forget what others have done to him. He's been questioned and side-eyed through the season. If Eric didn't do what he did, Adler may have cut him loose at any point in the future. So once he spotted the error in the bathroom scene, along with knowledge of his illness, he was ready to strike.
Also notice how Eric seemingly made his way up the boardroom table to the head of it by the end of the episode.
