He did. The guy wanst able to fix it. Then he found that he had this pro-hacker in his very own prison and decided to hire him

I thought that guy was another inmate, huh.

I mean if he wasn't then how did Elliot see him? Bringing in the pro-hacker guy to the prison seems like a dumb move if he's not a prisoner.

Okay I guess that makes sense, yeah. He'd need the other guy to show Elliot the server because he didn't fully understand the darknet himself. Still risky but whatever.

It's that or losing a major income stream and it's not like he can get Elliot out of the prison

Basically the timeline is:

Ray's wife sets up the server after they talk about it
Cash starts pouring in
*somewhere in here, former webadmin shows up to take care of website issues*
Wife dies, Ray doesn't know poo poo about the technical stuff but everything is running fine so :shrug:
Site needs a domain transfer, the webadmin doesn't know how to do a migration
Surprise! Ray's got a genius that he's got total control over right in front of him, but he's not a total monster so he buddies up with Elliot, former webadmin comes in, spills the beans to Elliot, that's all she wrote

Also it's the most useless B-plot in the series that only earned its keep by giving us the 90s sitcom episode.

Agreed.

That 90s sitcom episode was gold though. Would be genius, although Too Many Cooks and David Lynch's Rabbits kinda beat them to it.

You know, when your comprehension of the plot is utter dogshit, you don't really get to complain about the show not making sense or being contrived.

Just wanted to repost this song they played earlier this season during a conversation between Angela and Mr. Robot

Touch by Daft Punk feat. Paul Williams

I was sort of struck today by just how loving sad Angela's arc will be if it turns out whiterose fed her a bullshit story. She was 100% bought into believing that consequences wouldn't count this time, but now she's maybe realizing that it was the wishing itself that she actually enjoyed so much, getting to be a part of something bigger that also avenged her dead mom. And now thousands of innocent people are dead, thanks directly to her.

Remember when she just wanted to get high and watch Back to the Future 2 with Elliot? :unsmith:

this show is sooooo loving good, i'm really glad there's no scifi supernatural bullshit going on. Just people being people in high stakes situations. Though this episode sure did jump around the timeline a lot. Darlene/Dom was pretty cool, but like... end of that was unfortunate. Dom might be catching wise to santiago.

I'm not really sure what Elliot was doing with his hacking at the end tho; how did he own the dark army?

Remember those long episodes about routing packages all over the place? He now has DA to clog up, sending different packages all back and forth! Hopefully with some Cheers references, or monologue about Coach dying, the FBI agent is Kirsty Alley, poo poo I'm halfway to fanfiction.

They copied a file that was sent to one of their hackers to review as part of the fake stage 3 plan. Hidden in one of those files (presumably camouflaged somehow) was an exploit that gave elliott access to their network after it was executed.

It seems really basic and stupid for a hack that is gonna seemingly have such a major impact on the narrative but sometimes that's how that poo poo works I guess? I don't really know much about viruses

It was funny how relieved Dom was once she realised what Darlene was up to -- like, 'thank god, she was just conning me, I can go back to FBI mode, I don't have to deal with having a genuine connection with another human being.'

I love Dom.

I am hoping there was a scene in which Darlene and Dom made the other agent and the interview was part of a plan to expose or turn him. Darlene already knew the FBI was taking orders, and there’s no reason she wouldn’t have told Dom somewhere in between getting caught and ending up in that room.

edit: okay vv

Darlene told Dom about her plan to retrieve the keyloggers in her apartment. Dom realized this was an opportunity to out her boss as a Dark Army plant. The interrogation was staged, they’re working together now, because during the sex they realized they weren’t just using each other, they were making love. :colbert:

Yeah, that definitely sounds like the kind of twist Esmail would pull. It seemed really weird to me that Darlene would immediately tell Santiago everything in great detail knowing that the FBI is compromised.

That's what I thought when they went to the interview, Darlene challenging Santiago about the Dark Army owning the FBI seemed very pointed. Also I don't think it would make sense for Darlene to wait to be dragged to the FBI before explaining herself.

I can only hope that last part turns out to be true.
