Rich-DJ-Kid insists he recognizes Yasmin. Of course he does! This works on the jet ride over, not so much at the rich-people party Yasmin later finds herself at with Muck, where the Rich-DJ-Kid pegs her as the Hanani Heiress. Are you still an heiress if you have nothing you are inheriting? After insulting her and essentially slut-shaming her, Rich-DJ-Kid really rankles Yasmin by asking, jokingly, if she killed her missing dad. Yasmin seems to be genuinely weighing whether or not she wants to date what I can only describe as Charles Hanani Lite.
Whatever happened in the pool seems to have worked, because the episode ends with Yasmin hooking up with Muck on his private jet back to London. This happens in relatively full view of Eric and Robert, which is puzzling to me. For someone who cares so much about what her boss thinks, Yasmin sure is completely fine with getting it on in his general vicinity. Moving on to Robert and Eric! Eric receives a call from Wilhelmina, a higher-up in Pierpoint who appeared to be golfing in the dark??
Lumi is about to blow! He does this by approaching Frank in the sauna, where Frank basically comes on to him. And … cut to black? Either way, I found myself puzzled and a little disappointed! This causes everyone in the room to freak out more on this later. Europa Gas pulls out, leaving Eric with an egg on his face. Eric nurses his wounded ego by sleeping with a prostitute, introducing himself as Robert. Robert is really getting the short end of the stick this episode, though I think Harry Lawtey is really doing a lovely job with Robert as the tragic fool.
Amazing stuff. Now, onto the meatiest part of this episode: all things Harper. But no, Petra sees something like an equal in Harper, and together, they decide to go out on their own. They will start their own hedge fund and need seed money to do this. Where better to court cash than at ESG-Davos? Reader, I crowed when I realized we would finally see Eric and Harper in the same room. I understand taking three episodes into the season to put Harper and Eric in the same room has kept the narrative tension taut and uncompromising.
