"Season three's penultimate episode, 'Useful Idiot,' is a bloodbath for Pierpoint, as the bank's overwhelming debts and shoddy decision-making finally catch up to it and put Pierpoint on an irreversible path for a sale to another financial institution."
"Adler - who earlier in the season told fellow Pierpoint lifer Eric Tao that he has brain cancer - spends the episode convinced that Eric is on his side in wanting to protect Pierpoint's autonomy."
"When Eric reveals Adler's diagnosis in the Mitsubishi meeting and suggests his ailing health has caused mistakes damaging to Pierpoint, Eric's stabbing his longtime colleague in the back, just like his onetime protégé Harper Stern did to him."
