Elliot teams up with his sister Darlene to fight the Dark Army this week on Mr. Robot… but will they both be around to stop Stage 2?
We pick up with Elliot breaking into Darlene’s safe house; when she arrives home (after a heads-up from Dom), he angrily confronts her about hacking him. She tells him to back off, warning him not to go all Mr. Robot and hurt her again. She asks if Robot is working with the Dark Army again, and he admits he thinks Stage 2 is still on, despite his best efforts. (As Elliot, anyway.) So they strike a deal: Darlene will move into the apartment next door to his and watch him at night to make sure he, as Mr. Robot, isn’t working with Tyrell and the Dark Army. She admits the plan is weird, “but I guess we passed ‘weird’ a long f–king time ago.” (Sure did!)
Meanwhile, Stage 2 is indeed still full steam ahead, with Irving informing Angela that it’s going down in just ten days. She wants assurances that no one will be inside the E Corp building when the Dark Army blows it up — but can you really believe anything that car salesman says, anyway? Plus, the feds haul in a Mr. Nouri, who made the last Mr. Robot video. Dom and her new colleague Norm hammer the guy with questions, but he remains stoically silent, only saying that “fsociety” is his leader. His eyes do flicker with recognition when Dom says the name “Whiterose,” though, and she thinks he was a little too easy to track down.
