    Storyline

    Edit
    Elliot refuses a job offer from Tyrell, saying he's happy where he is now i.e. working for Gideon at AllSafe. Gideon thanks him for saving the company and offers him a raise. When coming back from work Elliot finds Darlene in his apartment. They take the train to the fsociety warehouse where he meets Mr. Robot, that tries to convince him to go on with the hacking they've started together. However, Elliot is not sure he wants to continue doing this anymore and even considers turning them in. —Andreea D

    • Goofs
      Elliot exploits a vulnerability to get a copy of a server's password file and then runs a password cracker on it, but the password file he receives is shadowed (it does not include the encrypted password strings), so it is useless to a password cracker.
    • Quotes

      Elliot: How do we know if we're in control? That we're not just making the best of what comes at us, and that's it? Trying to constantly pick between two shitty options? Like your two paintings in the waiting room. Or... Coke and Pepsi? McDonald's or Burger King? Hyundai or Honda? Hmm. It's all part of the same blur, right? Just out of focus enough. It's the illusion of choice. Half of us can't even pick our own... our cable, gas, electric. The water we drink, our health insurance. Even if we did, would it matter? You know, if our only option is Blue Cross or Blue Shield, what the fuck is the difference? In fact, aren't they... aren't they the same? No, man... our choices are prepaid for us, long time ago.

    Successfully avoids the "second episode syndrome".
    What I loved about the previous episode is how they showed that Elliot has absolute power, the ability to topple lives and manipulate fates, yet he mostly uses it to fit in with people. He did some things for moral reasons, and didn't do some things he probably should have for personal gain. In this episode, he is challenged frequently on when to use that power. Straight off the bat, he is given opportunities from both sides of the shadow war. His indecisiveness is brilliantly handled by the show runners.

    One incident that really stood out was his encounter with a drug dealer. This drug dealer was dating his neighbor, and the only reason Elliot hadn't taken him down is that he is the source of his morphine. This leads to a very interesting moral dilemma. The episode was generally filled with very clever dilemmas for Elliot. I have noticed that the second episode of a series is often one of the weakest in the season. This avoids that pattern, and is even arguably better than the pilot.

    The plot twist at the end is even more intriguing than last week's. If people weren't hooked by the pilot, this'll do them in.
