* A not-so-subtle swipe at our current president during that Robot/Tyrell argument, when Tyrell yelled: “No puppet! No puppet! You’re the puppet!” She packed up her possessions, ignoring calls from her dad, and pushed a cart through the streets like a bag lady until a van pulled over and a man in a suit told her to get in. * Speaking of poor Angela: That girl went on full-on loony tunes this week, sharing her paranoid delusions with Elliot before retreating to her terrifying apartment, with hundred of photos taped to the wall, jugs of water everywhere and dirty dishes piled up in the sink.
Hmmm… will Price’s obsession with Miss Moss be his ultimate undoing?
* The episode opened with a flashback explaining how Allsafe came to handle E Corp’s security: Then-CTO Terry Colby laughed off their pitch - I had forgotten what a jerk that guy was - but Angela caught Phillip Price’s eye, and he ordered Colby to hire Allsafe, despite his objections. And as Elliot puts it, “now I own the Dark Army.” (And they kiss!) But Elliot might be a step ahead of them: When the Dark Army copied over his laptop data, it included an exploit that allowed him to access their servers. They agree that it’s time to delete Elliot’s file, as it were. Grant reports back to Whiterose about Elliot and Stage 3, and adds that he thinks Elliot is now targeting the Dark Army.
(Dom does finally seem suspicious of her boss, though.) Santiago also calls Irving and tells him about Darlene… which doesn’t sound like very good news for Darlene. Dom wants to let her try, with supervision, but Santiago - dragging his feet as always - says no and reassigns Dom. Elliot doesn’t seem all that disappointed, though…ĭarlene, now stuck in an interrogation room with an angry Dom and Santiago, accuses the FBI of working with the Dark Army, and explains she needed access to Sentinel to undo the Five/Nine hack. Elliot explains he wants to destroy E Corp by attacking their E Coin currency, but Grant isn’t interested and brushes him off. He offers to demonstrate on his laptop, but a Dark Army henchman just takes his laptop and inserts a flash drive to copy over all of his data. It’s not with Whiterose, though, but his right-hand man Grant (hey, I learned his name!), who wants Elliot to explain Stage 3. So much for that romance.Įlliot gets his meeting, thanks to an assist from Leon. In the morning, Darlene tries to sneak into the safe, but Dom catches her red-handed. So they go back to Dom’s apartment, where the flirting turns into kissing - but Dom stashes her gun and badge in a safe before they head to the bedroom. Darlene has a scanner stashed in her backpack, and brushes up against Dom’s FBI badge, but the scanner can’t get a reading. Irving asks the same question we’re all asking: “The f-k is Stage 3?”ĭarlene tells Elliot she has an “angle” into the FBI, and she means Dom, who she meets up with for a night of drinking and flirting. Elliot assigns Darlene the task of finding a way inside Sentinel while he sets out to handle the Dark Army - which he does by telling Irving he needs a meeting with Whiterose to discuss Stage 3. Darlene says they could do it if they can access Romero’s key logs, but they’re being held on Sentinel, aka the FBI’s “Fort Knox” of a data server. Resident Alien Season 2 to Premiere in January, Will Be Split in Two PartsĮlliot and Darlene meet up at the old arcade lair, and he shows her Trenton’s email about undoing the Five/Nine hack.
