6 Unanswered Questions We Have After The Mr. Robot Season 2 Finale

Earlier this week, fans finally got some of the answers they've spent the past few months desperately craving in the season two finale of Mr. Robot. The show has really taken a slow burn approach this year, introducing as many new mysteries as those it provides solutions to, and while "eps2.9_pyth0n-pt2.p7z" was satisfying in many ways, it was also extremely frustrating in others. Now, as the long wait for season 3 begins, a large list of questions that the series is going to need to answer upon its return is beginning to arise - as expected. And while there's certainly a lot that we're left to wonder about, what you'll find here are 6 of the most pressing questions we have. The episode dropped some massive teasers about what's to come and set up a pretty drastic new status quo for season 3 now that Mr. Robot's plan has finally been revealed...well, mostly. Regardless, it's essential that all of these questions are addressed sooner rather than later. 6) Can Elliot Ever Overcome Mr. Robot? As Mr. Robot himself points out in the finale, he is Elliot, so it's important to remember that while we spend a lot of time with a man seemingly struggling to do the right thing, his dominant personality is essentially that of a murderous sociopath willing to do anything and everything to bring down E-Corp. Something we've learned throughout the first two seasons is that Elliot can't control Mr. Robot, and it becomes clear in this episode that he's been getting up to an awful lot we didn't know about as he secretly plots Phase 2 with the Dark Army and Tyrell Wellick. However, after being shot by Tyrell (with the gun Mr. Robot gave him apparently with the intention of doing just that should Elliot try and stop the plan), we see Mr. Robot beginning to flicker out of existence as Elliot loses consciousness. While it's fair to say that he won't be going anywhere - Christian Slater is just too good for that - could this be a sign that the trauma has gotten rid of him for now? Either way, the question of how Elliot can exert control over this alternate personality and stop his machinations will likely remain a focus of the series for the foreseeable future. 5) Will Darlene Help The FBI? While they've mistakenly identified Tyrell as the ringleader instead of Elliot, the fact that the FBI has known all about F-Society this entire time comes as a shock to both the audience and Darlene in the finale after Dom reveals everything in an attempt to flip her. How she's going to achieve that remains to be seen, but there's a chance that Darlene learning Tyrell really is working with her brother (rather than just being a scapegoat) could lead to her turning on him. After all, regardless of him wanting the same thing as them, Tyrell is still in many ways the "enemy" as a former E-Corp lacky. If Darlene does end up helping the FBI though, will it be for her freedom or to try and save the people she cares about like Elliot and Angela? There really are any number of ways this could go, but seeing as Darlene has now killed in order to stop F-Society's plans from being brought to a halt, it's going to take an awful lot for her to give that up. Of course, should the target be the Dark Army after the murder of her boyfriend at their hands, it's easier to picture her working with the FBI to try and bring that group down regardless of their involvement with Elliot's plans for E-Corp. 4) Why Is Tyrell So Loyal To Elliot? The finale kicks off with a scene showing Tyrell opening up to Elliot about his past and attempting to find a connection between them. Of course, other than revenge for being fired, we've never been given a really compelling and believable reason why Tyrell would want to bring down E-Corp, but the version of him we see here - who has now been confirmed as being very real - is fully committed to the cause and changing the world. It's clear then that these two have spent a lot of time together that we haven't seen with those moments taking place when Elliot was Mr. Robot. Why is a man like Tyrell so fiercely loyal to Elliot and what led to him expressing his love for him when he calls Angela later in the episode? Has their relationship taken a romantic turn somewhere along the line so Mr. Robot could emotionally manipulate him, or does Tyrell just love Elliot like a brother because he believes so much in what he's attempting to achieve? It's impossible to say right now, but after an entire season spent teasing his fate, it's essential that season 3 delves into the link between these two and where they go from here as Phase 2 comes to fruition. 3) Is Angela Part Of The Dark Army Now? In the penultimate episode, Whiterose told Angela something which led to her abandoning her mission to bring down E-Corp in order to allow the Dark Army to continue with whatever Elliot is planning. It's already been confirmed that we'll find out what that was down the line, but is Angela truly loyal to the Dark Army now, or just playing along until she can find a result which best suits her and possibly rescues Elliot from their clutches? Whatever the answer is, she's definitely become one of Mr. Robot's most fascinating characters, especially when it comes to where her loyalties lie. What's particularly interesting about the finale is that she's clearly been fully clued in to what's happening as she expected Tyrell's call and seemed to already know that he would have had to have done something to incapacitate Elliot so he couldn't stop Phase 2 from happening. After the Dark Army filled her in on what they're planning for E-Corp and the world, could Angela have explained to them that Elliot has a split personality? Is she going to be there when he wakes up to convince him that moving forward is the right thing to do? For now, we'll have to wait and see. 2) What Exactly Is Leon Up To? Leon ended up being one of Mr. Robot's biggest surprises after it was revealed that he was in prison alongside Elliot in order to protect him on behalf of the Dark Army. The way he dispatched of the men attempting to rape Elliot also showed that he's a force to be reckoned with, so the fact that he's managed to track down Trenton and Mobley could be very bad news for them. Is that final scene supposed to be a sign that he's there to kill them both so they're unable to interfere with Phase 2 in any way? Seeing as Mobley has found a way to reverse the hack, that does seem likely. It's also possible, of course, that he's there to recruit them and bring them back into the fold (despite the Dark Army attempting to kill Darlene and her boyfriend, comments from Dom point to them initially not having it out for the hackers until they started scattering and asking too many questions). If they do want them back, will the duo attempt to secretly set things right? Or, if Leon is there to take them out in a horribly gruesome fashion, was Mr. Robot the one who sent him knowing that his former allies - like Elliot - have the potential to stop the plan from being enacted? 1) What Comes After Phase 2? The finale reveals that E-Corp is using paper records in order to essentially undo the hack. Throw in the fact that they've also introduced their own currency, and it looks like they're about to become more powerful than ever before. It's understandable then that Phase 2 is going to involve destroying those records even if, much to Elliot's horror, that will mean hundreds of innocent people will end up being killed in the process. While Phase 2 is bad enough then, that doesn't really address what comes next either for F-Society or the Dark Army once they've achieved that. Why is Whiterose working both with and against E-Corp? We've heard power plants mentioned a few times, so it's feasible that she]s using the hacker group as a way of essentially bringing down America so China can take over. If that's the case, does Mr. Robot know about that, or is he too fixated on bringing down the corporation and possibly redistributing wealth so that everyone is on an equal playing field? Whatever the answer may be, it's clear that there's still much more to this than meets the eye, and Elliot and Mr. Robot may find themselves forced to work together to stop it.
