Didn’t like this episode much. It was super weird and obtuse, even by Mr. Robot standards.

Everything that was left open ended last week, remained so, which I don’t like. It felt like not much happened in the end.

• We have a scene with Dom in the hospital. She wants to hit the ground running but she’s told to take some time to get some rest. She’s all about cracking skulls for going through another assassination and her boss says we’ve gotta get actual proof of what’s been going on. Nothing about Angela and Cisco.
• Angela meets Whiterose in a super weird scene. Whiterose wants to meet her because she doesn’t know why Price has kept her around. After telling Angela she should have been killed 3 months ago it looks like she’s going to get her request: Angela backing off from anything hack related and ditching the investigation on the Washington Township accident.
• Role reversal! Elliot goes in to find Mr. Robot and becomes the silent observer. Together (depending on how you look at it) they decipher a cipher that decodes a phone number. A meeting place is stated and Elliot meets…Tyrell! Or does he?
• Joanne talks with her right hand man about the address Elliot found for them last week. That’s it, it goes nowhere.

The whole episode felt like standing at the edge of a cliff waiting for that rush to come and never does. There’s some rather complex puzzle solving to figure out the cipher, Elliot can’t trust anything he sees so we have no damn clue either and we’re just as bewildered as Angela meeting Whiterose. My two highlights: Dom talking to her Alexa was some crushing stuff. BD Wong is a brilliant actor. Unrecognizable as Whiterose and the cadence he does for her speeches is the perfect topper to such a mysterious character.
