Sisters Doing It For Themselves
Darlene continues to spin her webs getting ECorp to publicly burn $5.9 mil and letting them know that fSociety can and will brick every ECorp computer in the world whenever they want. While ECorp is busy looking at that Darlene is planning five other attacks because that’s how my girl rolls.
Over at ECorp Angela continues to climb the ladder of the PR department, crushing everyone in her path and losing more of her soul in the process. After all the shite she went through last year I can’t even blame her for actions but I am deeply concerned about her sanity.
Joanna is getting her BDSM on but has a schedule to keep so her slampiece gets the boot with the quickness. That’s fortunate as she receives a mysterious package shortly afterwards. Wonder who that’s from?
But What Game Are We Playing?
This episode does a fantastic job of showing how everyone, whether they realize it or not, is playing the game. Phillip makes that painfully clear when D.C. tries to get him to step down and he’s like, ‘Hard pass.’ While he’s not wrong in that people need to see their leaders being confident in crisis he is wrong about what exactly the crisis is. Gideon plays himself when he tells the FBI everything he thinks he knows about Elliot. It doesn’t end well for him, at all. The question is: just who came after him: fSociety, ECorp of someone else?
Who Are You?
Just as I suspected Elliot is totally going crazier. He realizes this when his new friend Ray thanks him for agreeing to work on his computer issues. Except Elliot and Ray realize Elliot doesn’t remember having that conversation at all.
Oops?
Backup Files
- This show’s soundtrack is fantastic.
- Ahmad is totally one of Dom’s informants, yes?
- There are so many cameos in this episode it’s kind of insane.
- Elliot laughing is terrifying.
