History WhamEpisode / MrRobot

* "Hello, Elliot"(4x13): As it turns out, the Elliot we've been following for the past 4 seasons was another alternate personality, created to deal with the anger and rage the real Elliot had towards the world. Mastermind!Elliot then trapped his real self in a [[LotusEaterMachine utopia]] and removed Darlene (his only connection to reality) to maintain control. As Mastermind!Elliot awakes in the real world having survived the power plant explosion, he's visited by Darlene, who reveals that she knew that this personality had supplanted her brother's the whole time. After this, Mastermind!Elliot decides to finally let go so his real self can take control again, after which he sits with his other personalities inside a theater to watch the real Elliot live out the rest of his life.

* "Proxy Authentication Required" (4x07): During their impromptu therapy session, Krista asks Elliot about the incident from his childhood, which he remembers as a psychotic break where he hid in a closet, swung a bat wildly and ended up jumping out of a window. As it goes on, Elliot begins to remember the day, eventually coming to the realization that Mr. Robot is not the friend Elliot has idolized for his entire life and that he's always been there, [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating his memories and lying.]] In reality, his 'psychotic break' was a reaction to his father sexually abusing him. It's enough to [[HeroicBSOD completely shatter Elliot]], who was already broken enough in this season to have no reaction to Angela's death or Olivia's attempted suicide.
** [[spoiler: To cap the episode off, Krista manages to break free and kill Vera by stabbing him in the back, finally ending the psychotic drug lord once and for all.

* "runtime-error" (3x05) is [[TheOner shot in just a few takes made to look like one]], making for one of the most visually arresting things the show has ever done, and as for the content: Stage 2's schedule is accelerated so it will happen hours from Elliot's awakening, the E Corp building is taken over by rioters aggravated by the Dark Army, and Elliot finds out that both Darlene and Angela betrayed him after the latter fulfills her part of the hack.]]

* "kill-pr0cess.par2" (3x06): [[spoiler: As Elliot rushes to stop Stage 2 despite Mr. Robot [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind fighting to control his body]], Darlene relays his information about Tyrell's location to Dom, who conducts a raid on it; Tyrell barely manages to escape while the Dark Army set up the scene to make him look like an unwitting hostage when he's arrested later. Darlene confronts Angela about her involvement with the Dark Army, only for both to be distracted by [[{{Foreshadowing}} something on the news]]. Elliot manages to successfully stop the attack after [[EnemyMine convincing Mr. Robot that White Rose played them both]], but just as [[HopeSpot he's celebrating his major victories]], he sees news reports revealing that Stage 2 actually went off [[NiceJobBreakingItHero in the 71 other buildings he sent the paper records to]], resulting in thousands of deaths and the worst terror attack in American history. ''Wham.''

** And all of this is without mentioning [[spoiler: Angela learning that Price is [[LukeIAmYourFather her father]]].
