Elliot and Mr Robot are going to kick ass and take names. He's like that final game boss where he just shows up and all his underlings were shit. Dude's gonna take on the FBI and make Whiterose suck his imaginary father's dick.

It is truly a wonder how stupid Darlene's boyfriend was. He has an conversation about how he is selling her out and leaves it on for Darlene to read....and when he sees that Darlene wrecked his laptop, his only response is confusion and outrage. If he survives Darlene's attack, he's probably going to be like "Darlene, babe, we love each other, why you do me in like this?"
Also, whats happening with Trenton? Don't tell me Mobley sold her out

He probably did, wipes his phone after sending her a message knowing the FBI is probably tracking it, he doesn't show up and texts him leading to the FBI possibly finding her location.
If Whiterose is protecting Elliot would they be protecting Darlene too?

It can't be said enough how amazing the soundtrack is on this show too. Really feel like its underappreciated. If it keeps up this season it may end up being my favorite part of the show.
Fantastic episode. Maybe one of the best of the series which I didn't think I would say so soon after some earlier season 2 eps.
Have to agree about Malik's acting. It's hard to play that role without seeming a bit hammy. I actually have preferred Slater's acting this season over the first though. He's shown a little more range then I've seen from him in a while.

I think it was when Trenton's father was watching television and she heard the noise outside their place.

The therapist hack doesn't seem to make sense. Particularly because it's strange that she had a lot of time to put Elliot in jail after Elliot revealed that he hacked her, and yet seemingly did nothing about it. Not to mention, she refused to help Michael after he tried to get more information about Elliot. Not that it means that Krista condones Elliot's actions, but I don't think she'd put him in jail given what happened, and how she knows hacking to him is basically a way to connect to people.
It was the hack of his therapists shit head ex. That's why flippers gone.
Darlene's comments about lack of remorse rang true to me based on something a coworker mentioned to me about his time in Iraq- he thought that after killing someone, there would be this change, like something had happened. Instead, things just kept going. He didn't feel any different. And it scared the fuck out of him.

this 2nd season is amazing (even better than the first one, which I loved), one of this year's best tv shows
True. I'm still thinking it is unrelated to 5/9.
This might be it.

This ep was great. I think Elliot is generally the worst part of this show tbh, I'm way more interested in everyone else.

Portia Doubleday really stepped up her game since lastseason. Didn't really care for her last season, but she's one of the stand out actors/actress on the show for me now.
Admittedly she has a lot more to work with this season as well.

Loved the Karoke version of 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World'.
Just tried to look for similar covers of it on Spotify but can only various 80's style versions and a Lorde cover.
Hope they release this later.

Great episode. So glad the show is getting better, despite the mediocre start of this season.
i think he really was keeping her safe. The Dark Army/Whiterose is actively protecting Elliot and still sees him having some part to play in this whole thing, so why would they want to harm his sister or otherwise piss him off? At most they would probably want to keep an eye on her just in case they need her for leverage.
Also sort of feeling that alot of the Dark Army paranoia this season on the part of the 5/9ers is probably a red herring. They seem pretty certain they murdered the other hacker but im not so sure

Was that Muslim girl's father the guy who runs the convenience store the FBI lady shops at?
Elliot deliberately had himself sent to prison for the Krista hack I think- it's why we saw him confess to her. He did it so he could be sent to a place where he wouldn't be allowed to use a computer and he could develop a routine to centre himself and remove Mr Robot even though he came to terms with it later on.
Edit: like S1 ends with him confessing to crimes and S2 starts with him in prison. Seems obvious

No one is talking about last week's episode during the conference that Angela attended the people in it were talking about how Susan Jacobs couldn't make it because she's on vacation. Susan just got killed in this episode.

That doesn't make sense. Elliot didn't have problems with his alter ego until after 5/9 hack was initiated and after he started losing track of time (aka ended up in Wellick's car). That's when he realized he didn't have control.

Fun fact: that entire storyline with Susan coming back home and getting killed was originally in the previous episode. The conference where they mention that Susan is on vacation wasn't meant to take place before that.
Dominican Power

That's gonna confuse a lot of people. Why would they do that? So the hack, the information that was obtained from the hack - secret conference call about Berenstain - and the killing of Susan Jacobs was suppose to take place last episode?

I get it. This episode fills in the blanks that happened last episode with fsociety.

Amazing episode, that was tense as fuck. I didn't think an episode with zero Elliot/Mr Robot could be so good.
Not sure I've ever disagreed with a post in this thread as much as these two. Other actors really shined in this episode though.

How do you know this? It's not like it can't be set up in this way (unless I'm missing something):
1) Angela holds press conference with risk management group
>Suits mention that Susan Jacobs hasn't come back yet from vacation
2) Susan Jacobs returns to her smart home from vacation
>Darlene kills her
Just asking because I haven't seen Esmail or anyone else comment that the scene is supposed to be presented in the timeline differently. Also, I'd imagine ECorp would have known her return date anyways.

It really is, I totally don't get people railing on it for not being season 1 2.0. So far I think I'm liking it more than season 1, but at the very least it's on par. Depending on how it ends it may well finish above 1 for me.
Overall though arguing which season is better just means the whole show is ace!

Favorite line - "I think she's just into old dudes" haha, that was awesome
RIP DJ Mobley, your Angelfire page will live on forever
Cisco's betrayal of Darlene is intense, its really hard to read that character. I'm pretty sure he's just a big doofus over his head who loves Darlene, but what if he is way more evil and manipulative than that...

Holy shit, just caught up and that was quality tv right there. My fav of the series. In reality this story ends very soon 100% of the time. Hopefully they handle the pivot decently.
My son bitched about Doms lollypop during the scene with Mosbley and 2 seconds later she throws it in the garbage. Lol

He seems to think all of the political hacker machinations can live in an entirely different sphere than his personal relationships. But that doesn't work. They massively overlap.

Wow. Best episode of the season and not one second of Elliot stuck in la la land. That's no coincidence.
Though she was shown enjoying lollipops before, I had the distinct impression that was done on purpose to annoy and distract Mobley.
I hope there is a major payoff for having to put up with Eliott's mental chaos all these episodes. While that adds value as turning him into an unreliable narrator, it went on a little too long.
