“Eyes Without a Face” is a game-changer. Industry Season 4, Episode 5 takes us from the sterile suites of SternTao to the dusty warehouses of Ghana, where Sweetpea (Miriam Petche) and Kwabena (Toheeb Jimoh) go deep into Tender’s shady expansion claims—and uncover what may be the fintech’s fatal flaw. Meanwhile, Harper (Myha’la) and Eric (Ken Leung) spiral in their own toxic dance of ambition, grief, and dysfunction.


This episode has it all: corporate fraud, physical violence, a potentially explosive whistleblower, and the long-awaited emotional payoff between Industry’s most iconic duo.
