From the beginning, Industry has been all about the fierce competition in finance, following young bankers trying to make it big. However, the show's third season takes a different route. Yes, there's still plenty of office drama, but now, there's an underlying mystery around Yasmin's father. This shift in narrative adds tension and leaves viewers glued to their screens.
One of the most intriguing characters this season is Yasmin. We've always known her relationship with her father was troubled, but season 3 takes it to another level. We see flashbacks of Yasmin on a yacht with her father from early on, and things quickly get intense. It’s not just a story of financial scandal; it’s about personal betrayal and deeply rooted family issues.

Did Yasmin kill her dad in Industry?
The drama on the yacht becomes a vital focus of the season. Yasmin catches her father with a pregnant woman, leading to a violent confrontation. He physically assaults her, pinning her down and throwing wine in her face. The tension between them builds to an unbearable level, with hints of an even darker past where Yasmin was either objectified or abused by her father.
Episode 6 delivers the season’s biggest bombshell. Yasmin and her father’s argument escalates until, in a moment of anger, Yasmin tells him she wishes he would die. Shockingly, her father responds by jumping off the yacht. This moment is even more intense because Yasmin hesitates after he jumps. Her father asks for help, but instead of acting immediately, she freezes, seemingly unable or unwilling to save him. By the time she snaps out of it, it’s too late.
Harper and Yasmin
Yasmin is left traumatized after her father's death, unsure whether she intentionally let him die or if she simply couldn’t react in time. Harper, Yasmin’s colleague, finds her in shock and immediately steps in to cover up the incident. Harper’s quick thinking creates an alibi, and she even returns the life preserver to its proper place. This moment binds the two women together, even as their relationship remains complicated and full of tension.
From this point on, Yasmin and Harper’s bond takes center stage. The trauma they share over Yasmin’s father’s death becomes pivotal in their relationship. Both women now share a dark secret, influencing their actions and decisions for the rest of the season. As Myha’la (Harper) explained in an interview, this event irrevocably bonds the two characters, making any previous issues seem trivial.
Yasmin’s father’s true nature
Charles Hanani, Yasmin’s father, is revealed to be deeply flawed. Not only was he involved in shady financial deals, but his personal life was full of manipulative and predatory behavior.
Yasmin’s realization of this and the traumatic events on the yacht become the key to understanding her struggles throughout the series. This relationship explains much of Yasmin’s behavior and emotional turmoil.
What was Harper's true motive?
As if Yasmin didn’t have enough to deal with, she soon learns that Harper might not be as loyal as she seems. Harper’s new mentor, Petra, wants to use Yasmin to help them short Pierpoint, the financial firm at the show's center, when its looming debt crisis hits.
Yasmin and Harper’s relationship, already fragile after the events on the yacht, is further strained by Harper’s secret agenda. The power dynamics between them shift constantly, making their interactions unpredictable and charged with tension.
The show cleverly uses flashbacks to reveal what happened on the yacht, leaving viewers piecing together the puzzle. These moments explain Yasmin’s current emotional state and provide a crucial backstory for why she is the way she is. The decision to save the full reveal for episode 6 adds to the suspense and deepens the mystery surrounding Charles’ death.
After the events on the yacht, Yasmin is left to deal with the aftermath. Her father’s death, though liberating in some ways, leaves her with a deep sense of guilt and confusion. This emotional turmoil drives much of her character’s journey throughout the rest of the season.
