I have no recollection of that. Cisco told him to destroy the hard drives?

I just wiki-ed SI. There's a lot to read!! I just called out from work so I could learn all about it. How awesomely ironic is that?

Last we saw, he was with Darlene at the end of episode 9. Hopefully she still has him

I like the Vera character too (see my post below). A lot. I referred to "balance," etc but I left out the parallels between Vera and Elliot.
It's like Vera is the anti-Elliot. Like how cops make good criminals and criminals make good cops. The mindsets are similar.
These guys are nearly identical, yet vastly

Definitely classic emotional/mental/physical abuser behavior. Even Ron had more moral fiber than this guy. Ok maybe not, but it's close.

I think they left that intentionally ambiguous. Mr Robot says in an earlier episode "She's not there any more…" or something like that, in reference to mom.

Did you ever see Mulholland Drive? I think the final scene in Mr Robot is not meant to be taken literally. I think it's how Elliot perceives the world to be controlled. Sort of like the dream sequence in ep 4.
In Mulholland Drive, the first part of the movie (before they put the key into the box) is Naomi Watts'
