USA's 'Mr. Robot' Episode 10 Spoilers: Do Christian Slater/Rami Malek See Elliot's "Betrayal?"
The first season finale of Mr. Robot, arrives on USA Network. In the upcoming Episode 10, are Angela (Portia Doubleday), Elliot (Rami Malek), and Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), in danger of being "betrayed" by the murderous Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallström)?
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, Esmail reveals Tyrell has a tendency to switch sides, "The best way I can describe it without judging him as a character is that he's incredibly damaged. The fact that he takes the moniker of the quote-unquote "bad guy" is not something I feel comfortable about either way - as much as I wouldn't even put the moniker of "good guy" on Elliot. I think they're actually just both very damaged people, and they've both been motivated by very different things. Obviously Tyrell has crossed more ethical lines. And Tyrell's obviously all about self-preservation and I guess operating more under a selfish desire to get ahead, whereas Elliot on the flipside is seemingly altruistic and operating more on the benefit of other people."

Esmail adds, "But the interesting thing is that you could think that's a clear-cut thing, where you think one is good and one is bad. That's not really the case. It gets murky on both ends, and both sides of the coin can actually reveal a lot of narcissism. So I'd say that's how we're going to keep Tyrell - as marquee as possible."
Mr. Robot continues for one last Wednesday at 10pm on USA.
