Why would Eliott, as a child, have blamed his real father for the window incident?
If we assume Mr Robot already existed at this point in the story, and Eliott had been interacting with him for a while, wouldn\'t it make sense for Eliott to have realised they were two different people much sooner and subsequently, not blame his dad?
What I mean by this is, living in the same house as his father while already having visions of/talking to Mr Robot seems very difficult. Surely Eliott would have had moments of seeing both at the same time, his father and the hallucinated Mr Robot, and realised something was up.
Even if we assume the window incident was the first time the Mr Robot persona kicked in, wouldn\'t the family have talked about how said incident happened? I\'m sure at least at the doctor\'s office they had to come up with some story, and surely Eliott would have realised that his version of events clashed with that of his parents. Even if he believed his father was lying, what reason would he have to mistrust Darlene, who apparently witnessed the whole thing?
I\'d understand if the implication were that Eliott once knew what happened and forgot it in the same way he forgot about so much of his past, but in the flashback we\'re shown of him and his dad at the movie theatre, he seems very angry at his dad. Even stranger, and this is what I really can\'t wrap my head around, Edward apologises. Why would he ask if Eliott can ever forgive him if he didn\'t actually do anything? Is he sorry for making him promise not to tell his mum about the leukemia diagnosis in the first place? Surely this potential \'trigger\' of Eliott\'s episode wouldn\'t be as noteworthy as the actual episode itself and the possible mental illness that might have caused it. Wouldn\'t his dad be more concerned about finding out exactly what happened rather than apologise and thus fuel Eliott\'s distorted view of reality?
And what exactly is the implication when Edward dies in the movie theatre? Does Eliott realise but not care and go to see the movie with Mr Robot? This would once again mean he\'s aware they are two separate people/entities and should have made it easy to understand what happened during the window incident. Clearly it would make more sense if the \'angry\' version of his dad he sees would have done that than the relatively meek and friendly Edward we\'ve been shown so far.
The other thing that does not add up is, if Eliott has been seeing Mr Robot for decades, how are Angela and Darlene who\'ve known him from childhood only just learning about it now? Once he finds out himself he is relatively quick to tell both of them. More importantly, how did Eliott himself forget? I know its still unexplained why he forgot such large chunks of his past, like Darlene, but he always seemed to remember his own life fairly well. He never seems confused about his parents, where he grew up, his dad\'s diagnosis, his mum\'s abuse etc. Not to mention that after the memories of Darlene return we hear him give glimpses into his childhood on multiple occasions throughout the show, such as hacking into the public library at 11, playing the wishing game with Angela, building Kevin McCalister with Darlene, etc. How does he remember all of this but not the fact that Mr Robot has always been a part of his life? I suppose this is connected to how he forgot about Darlene, but in my opinion even more confusing since Mr Robot would have been responsible for many of Eliott\'s own actions or perhaps caused him to \
