History Recap / MrRobotS04E05

'''Elliot and Mr. Robot''' come across Tyrell's corpse lying in the snow-covered woods. The two throw his body into the van before setting it and the evidence within ablaze. Meanwhile, Darlene is closing in on Elliot's last known position at the gas station only to find that he isn't there. Frustrated, Darlene quickly notices the smoke from the torched van billowing up through the trees. When she stops to investigate, Elliot arrives and the two return to the city.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: [[spoiler: Price is set to meet with the Deus Group despite Tyrell's absence, Janis sends Dom after Elliot and Darlene, and Krista is confronted by Vera after she catches on to one of his spies.]]
* DespiteThePlan: [[spoiler: The Virtual Realty heist should ''not'' have worked out in Elliot and Darlene's favor based on how sloppy they were, but it does. Granted, they come very, ''very'' close to being captured.]]

* IndyPloy: Once Elliot and Darlene [[spoiler: are busted by Virtual Realty's security,]] the rest of their time is spent doing this:
** [[spoiler: As the cameras begin to reactivate and a Virtual Realty guard is approaching, Elliot quickly hacks the building's electronic infrastructure to cause a blackout in the server room. He and Darlene use this opportunity to leg it out of the server room.]]
** To save Darlene's hide while also giving her a chance to escape, [[spoiler: Elliot lets himself be detected so the authorities focus on him and give chase.]]
** [[spoiler: Elliot desperately leaps over a rail and into an embankment to finally shake the cops,]] at which point Darlene pulls up in a car just in time to collect him and get the hell out of dodge.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The opening scene features Darlene picking Elliot up from the events of [[Recap/MrRobotS04E04 the previous episode]] and saying, "It's cool, dude, we don't have to talk." After an entire episode of people [[NoDialogueEpisode giving each other the silent treatment]] (or just unable to speak) for one reason or another, it closes with a single line: "[[spoiler: It's time we talked.]]"

* SternChase: The chase between Elliot and [[spoiler: the police]] is fucking '''relentless,''' with Elliot bobbing and weaving through oncoming traffic, tumbling across a skating rink, hopping on a transit bus, [[spoiler: being hit by a car, and falling twenty or so feet after jumping over a railing!]] All of this with his pursuers never lagging behind. [[spoiler: He's finally able to shake the cops once Darlene pulls up to retrieve him and the two make a hasty getaway.]]

'''Some time later,''' Krista is about to leave her home before she receives several texts from Jason, her boyfriend. Originally planning to attend a family gathering with him, Krista instead proposes that the two have dinner at her house. Jason agrees.
