  • We open to a scene just before 5/9 that we've seen before... only this time, the appearance of Mr Robot is through Tyrell's eyes, seeing Elliot. They are at Coney Island, disagreeing as to whether they can work together. The exchange of Tyrell's "Red Wheelbarrow" and Elliot's "You're not seeing what's above you" takes place as remembered.
  • Back today, they make their way into "Stage 2 HQ," an old warehouse of Confictura Industries, to the tune of "Even the Greatest Stars." "Hamburger Man" awaits beside the cargo elevator, and takes them up to their floor. Tyrell shows Elliot a PC screen of what they've accomplished.
  • Back at FBI interrogation, Darlene is questioned by Agent Dom. Darlene stands off invoking the 5th, but Dom insists "by the end of the day, you and I are going to be best friends."
  • Joanna appears at Scott Knowel's house. She confronts that he risked everything to drive her crazy. He recalls the night that he gained, and lost, everything in one fell swoop, gaining the CTO position, and a child on the way, and losing his wife and child to murder. She trades his confession for a series of insults against him and his deceased family. This provokes exactly what she wanted: a violent backlash to beat and disfigure her. Oddly, he is overcome with guilt and dials 911.
  • Dom stresses the seriousness of Darlene's disposition: identified as the ring leader behind Vincent's DC mission. She further brings back the mask from the Careful Massacre movie, the camera equipment used by Cisco, and the bullet casing from the gun of Xander Jones.
  • Elliot is piecing together the plan for Stage 2: They have the blueprints for the E Corp Data Recovery building. They have the disassembled firmware for its Uninterruptible Power Supplies. When Tyrell shows Elliot a window looking at trucks unloading paper documents, he recalls that the malware they're creating could start a hydrogen explosion that would level the building.
  • Joanna coaches Derek into testifying against Scott Knowells, framing him for the murder of his own wife.
  • Dom reenters the attempt to flip Darlene with a new determination. She's going to reveal how formidably smart the FBI investigation is, and tip the hand of the investigations course. They march to the whiteboard room with timelines and organizational charts, to the playing of "The Moth Don't Care." The FBI has been taking "the python approach" to patiently wait out the opportunity to strike down Tyrell Wellick, who they believe is the 5/9 architect.
  • Elliot now realizes people will die, so he attempts to shut down Stage 2. Tyrell draws the gun and tells Elliot to step away from the keyboard. But Elliot has convinced himself that Tyrell is just as imagined as Mr Robot, that he doesn't exist, so Elliot presses forward to erase the project... and gets shot in the gut.
  • Angela is watching Frank Cody on TV when the call comes from Tyrell. The Dark Army has briefed her on the situation so she is on her way to meet them before Elliot wakes.
  • POST-CREDIT SCENE: The music is playing. Leon is in Phoenix Arizona, driving a black Lincoln into the parking lot of the Fry's Electronics store, which now employs Mobley & Trenton, who are going by the names Frederick and Tanya. Trenton implores that he examine the prospect of recorded keys that can restore the encrypted files of E Corp, undoing the 5/9 hack. Mobley is resistant to getting involved. The two are approached by Leon, who meekly asks "Excuse me, do you have the time?"
