Mr Robot - 'eps1.2_d3bug.mkv'

The fact that no-one reacts to this reaffirms that we're in a Tyler Durden
situation.

After he recovers from his fall, Elliot swears off fsociety, even when Mr Robot shows up at AllSafe. Determining to live a 'bug free' life, free from exploitable eccentricities, Elliot accepts an invitation to a staff dinner and asks Shayla to accompany him as his girlfriend. Unfortunately, there is still one bug, an an fsociety data dump reveals that Evil Corp deliberately concealed the risk of Leukemia from their toxic waste dumping; the effect which killed his father.

Elsewhere, executive douche Tyrell Wellick learns he is being overlooked for CTO and pays a homeless man to let him beat him up. He seduces his boss's secretary in order to install surveillance software on his phone, and engages in a weirdly passionless B&D relationship with his pregnant wife. Given the nature of the show, of course, this could all be supposition on Elliot's part.

The main progression this week comes from Ollie and Angela, as the hacker pushes Ollie to install his worm on the AllSafe servers. Ollie comes clean to Angela about his affair, but her real concern is that the hacker now has access to her bank records and her father's bank records, leading her to be the one pushing to acquiesce to the demands.

Ultimately, Elliot returns to fsociety to lay out his plan, and it is clear that they are all waiting on him.

Mr Robot has pretty much shot its first bolt now. It's still got some legs, but it needs to step up its game to cover the fact that its big, conceptual hoorah has hoorahed.
