USA's 'Mr. Robot' Ep 9 Spoilers: Twitter Reacts Christian Slater, Rami Malek's Elliot/Tyrell!
The highly anticipated hacker drama, Mr. Robot, continues on USA Network. In last night's Episode 9, Twitter had lots to say about how the confrontation between hacker Elliot (Rami Malek), anarchist Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), and Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallström) came to a shocking conclusion.
In our previous recap, after discovering Angela was in trouble, Elliot had to hack into his Gideon's email and remove the honeypot for the Dark Army. Realizing the revolution is happening, Elliot kissed Darlene, which freaked her out. After hacking himself, unlocking the photos in a CD, Elliot discovered Darlene is his sister and Mr. Robot is his father. Unfortunately, neither of them realize Mr. Robot is secretly working with Tyrell.
In our recent recap, Elliot revisited his childhood with Mr. Robot, who is indeed his dead father. While Angela and Darlene looked for him, Elliot found himself staring at his father's tombstone. Fired from Evil Corp, Tyrell then paid a visit to Elliot and revealed how he committed the murder. After Elliot showed him FSociety's Coney Island hideout, Tyrell knew the two of them would be working together.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, creator/showrunner Sam Esmail explains that plot twist, "I've always said that when I initially wrote this, it was a feature, and that the first season was the first act of that feature. And that was to really say that the story is really about this relationship with Elliot and his father. Really, that's the story of Mr. Robot. And we really, initially kick into high gear with that in episodes 9 and 10. Episodes 9 and 10 will obviously reveal more answers about their relationship, but 8 obviously answered the question of who he is - who Mr. Robot is."
