History Heartwarming / MrRobot

* Doubles as a Tearjerker but Mastermind Elliot telling Darlene that despite only being a part of the real Elliot, he loves her. And even though the real Elliot has (almost) everything in the fantasy he’s been trapped in, it’s not worth it if he doesn’t have his sister.

** "Hello, Elliot."

** Gideon's [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure kind and fair treatment of Elliot]] can feel really wholesome in general too. Elliot despises corporate capitalism, and yet his own fairly wealthy business-owning boss is the polar opposite of the corrupt suits Elliot wants to bring down. Particularly notable when Gideon gives Elliot a hug at the party, and tells him in an almost paternal fashion that he never has to feel pressured or put upon. Doubly heartwarming when you consider what [[spoiler: Elliot's [[AssholeVictim actual Dad]] was like. And crosses into Tearjerker when Gideon [[BeingGoodSucks suffers a tragic fate]].]]

* Shayla giving Angela the confidence to follow through with her goals, stating that she is the only person who she needs to worry about. [[spoiler: Though it does later become HarhsherInHindsight as she becomes the person ''everyone'' worries about.]]

* Elliot recounting to Krista the story of a snowman that he and Darlene built as children, and how they tried to borrow their father's camera to take a picture of the snowman before it melted. It is a very pleasant scene filled with mirth that is not only rarely ever seen in the show, but it is a case in which Elliot looks back on his past with nostalgia instead of heartbreak. [[spoiler: It then swerves into tearjerker territory when Elliot reveals that it was on the same day of his window accident]].

* Most of "Don't Delete Me", from [[spoiler: Elliot's trip to the movies and back home with Trenton's little brother]] to [[spoiler: his conversation with [[DespairEventHorizon a broken Angela]] through her door]]. It's a relief coming off [[WhamEpisode "Kill Process"]] and [[TearJerker "Frederick & Tanya"]].

* The final scenes of "Shutdown" before the credits: [[spoiler: after learning that his father never pushed him out of a window and that Mr. Robot was the one who made a backup plan in case the hack went bad, Elliot finally reconciles with Robot on the bench where the first met. As inspiring music kicks in, Elliot returns home and finds out the data [[ChekhovsGun was embedded in one of the secret images of Elliot and his father]], and Elliot uses this to undo the hack.]]
* From S4 E3, "Forbidden", [[spoiler:Elliot's romance with Olivia.]] Sadly though it doesn't last.
* The final scene between Elliot and Darlene in "405 Method Not Allowed": [[spoiler:Elliot narrowly escapes the police after being picked by Darlene. Still catching his breath, Elliot wordlessly places his hand on Darlene's as she drives. While she doesn't react, the two share a look that just ''screams'' relief that they are both okay,]] making for the purest interaction the two have had since season two.

** Elliot's protectiveness towards Krista throughout the episode. He makes it clear to Vera that he won't agree to any partnership with him until he knows Krista is alive and unharmed. When Vera takes Elliot into the next room to see her, he immediately asks her if she's okay, attempts to physically attack Vera when he begins to grope Krista, states that he needs her when Vera asks him why he cares about her so much and keeps her calm when Vera is holding them both at gunpoint during their impromptu therapy session. [[spoiler:[[EveryoneHasStandards Even Mr. Robot]], who isn't much of a fan of Krista himself, shows concern for her safety]] and makes it clear to Vera that a partnership is off the table if he doesn't let Krista go first.
** Also in that episode [[spoiler:[[EvenEvilHasStandards ''Vera'' of all people]] is moved by Elliot's anguish]] from his father's actions to him as a child and spends his final words comforting him.
*** Though it should be noted this is a subversion as [[spoiler:Vera's the one who put Elliot in this anguish in the first place, and he was only feigning affection in order to [[{{Gaslighting}} gaslight]] Elliot and make him his accomplice.]]

* The sitcom nightmare in "eps2.4_m4ster-s1ave.aes" turns out to be the work of Mr. Robot, who wanted Elliot to avoid pain as he was getting pummelled by Ray's thugs.
** Shortly after this, Elliot is forced to finish working on the site, at which point Ray agrees to one final game. While they play, Ray reveals how and why he set up the site in the first place, revealing he didn't actually ''know'' what was being sold there, and he'd mostly kept it up because it was important to his late wife. He then reveals that he knows Elliot tipped off the Feds to what he was doing, but due to the immense guilt he now has upon finding out his site's true purpose and client base, he quietly allows himself to be arrested, but not before first encouraging Elliot to get moving, and warning him to be careful.

* In "Gone", Darlene and Dom try to rebuild their relationship on a road trip. It... doesn't quite work out, but Dom does give Darlene a big hug before they part and hints that if Darlene could grow up a little, they might be able to have a mature relationship.

** At the end of the episode, Elliot reconciles with Mr. Robot, who does what Mr. Alderson would never do - sincerely apologize for what he did.

* S4 E7 reveals why Mr. Robot was originally created: to protect Elliot from his sexually abusive father (even though Mr. Robot is modeled after said father)
