How long was Elliot in prison for? I know his sentence was eight months, but I vaguely recall him being let out early.

So the showrunners have a deal with snopes to make fake pages just like they did with reddit?

No. There is a not-exactly-conspiracy theory, older than the show, floating around the internet that occasionally this universe intersects with parallel universes, and that's why some people remember the existence of this Shazaam movie (or of Mandela dying in the '80s, or of the Berenstain Bears being called the Berenstein Bears). The showrunners put in a little detail alluding to this theory.

Reasonably convincing, although given Darlene's confession it's possible that Mr. Robot emerged again and that the Elliot we see running around and at the end isn't Elliot. Or it's some rando. Or it's possibly the synthesis between Mr. Robot and Elliot that we've kind of been waiting for. If he can summon a facsimile of him at will then why not follow that through to it's logical conclusion?

Elliot seemed very Mr. Roboty during the confession scene.

Anyway, in order to have found and followed Angela, Elliot (or MR) must have intuited that the protest going violent was fomented by the conspirators, mixed in with the crowd, and figured out where Angela would have to go to override his firmware patch. Although if it really was him in the background of those scenes, it raises the question of why he didn't try to stop (or at least confront) Angela while she was doing the hack, when he already knew roughly what was up.

It would be cool and all, but I don't see how an FBI informant who is constantly monitored can get away with meeting up with Tyrell Wellick like every night.
