Mr. Robot Recap: eps2.12init1.asec

Mr. Robot / Episode 4/ USA Fuck what you heard! If you’re not watching Mr. Robot you a GOT DAM FOOL. This show is absolutely crushing every aspect of great television. Cinematic shots that make you say, “Damn that looks amazing.” Dialogue that actually pulls you in, instead of rocking you to sleep. 90 minute episodes every other week? Can I get a Stone Cold, “HELL YEAH!!”

The episode opens up with a scene that blasts through the front door like the Kool-Aid Man on steroids. And the best part about it? It’s another finely crafted flashback scene where Elliot and Darlene have their first interaction in months, light up the Willie Nelson special, throw on their favorite old movie The Careful Massacre of the Bourgeois and shoot the shit. “So when did pretending everything’s okay suddenly become the almighty norm?” As soon as Darlene says that true true, Shit. Hits. The. FAN! Elliot puts on his Mr. Robot suit and mask and for the first time, and they actually begin to discuss executing a hack on Evil Corp. Well, it’s actually Elliot going OFFFFF on this ill opportunity epiphany rant as Darlene gawks in surprise and simultaneously revels in awe. Flash-forward to present day and Darlene is pressing Elliot, doing the most evil, and asking for “him” to come out because Mr. Robot is what she needs right now.

Agent DiPierro and her team begin to investigate and tear apart the Arcade Fire Headquarters that she stumbled upon last episode. They find some IG pics and get mad at themselves…
