Just getting the thread going...

Whiterose backstory was interesting.

I don't quite remember who the butcher/drug guy was.

Elliot's plan with Olivia seemed to have worked.

I loved the documentary aspect of the IBM bad business decisions, and that WhiteRose's backstory included him being someone who took advantage of them.

Vera. He killed Elliott's neighbor/girlfriend in the first season. Then he made a reappearance outside of Elliott's apartment in the after-credits scene in last season's finale. He's the one Darlene mentioned in the last episode, which made Elliot realize he had a third personality.

That's the part I don't understand. Why would Elliot and Mr. Robot argue about it and think there's a third personality just because Darlene mentioned his name?

Because neither of them remembers that conversation with Darlene.

Yes, Darlene more then just mentioned Vera. She said she had previously told Elliot that Vera showed up:

Darlene: I mean, I knew you were up to something, but you were acting like such a total sketchball, I figured it had to do with Vera.

Elliot: Vera? What are you talking about? What does he have to do with anything?

Darlene: Well, that's what I was wondering. I mean, he freaked me the f*** out when he showed up at your building a couple months ago, but when I told you, you just blew it off like it was no big deal.

Thanks, that explains it.

Sorry this is off-topic, but have there been any after-credit scenes this season? I've been watching on the USA app. If there have been scenes after the credits, the app is not showing them.

Sort of, in 401. They showed one credit screen, after Eliot was left for dead, and then resumed the scene to show Eliot being revived. I assume you caught that, because otherwise these subsequent episodes wouldn't make any sense!

 

[Dawghows]

Yes, that one I saw. Since then, nothing after the credits. Thanks.

Very interesting episode. It was nice to get Whiterose's backstory, but it was kind of sad. Who knew Elliot/Mr. Robot could get a girl that easy.

I'll be sorry to see this show end the production/style is like anything else I've ever seen.
