This is my recap of S2E eps 2.9_pyth0n-pt2.p7z

On this episode Elliot realizes an uncomfortable truth, Darlene sees herself in pictures, and many theories are debunked.

Sadly, this is the end of our Season 2 journey friends. Who is Mr. Robot's Landlord? Is done until next Fall. Thanks so much for all the support.

Still several episodes of Halt and Catch Fire to go and soon you will see my recaps of The Flash and Luke Cage.

I am kind of angry, which is rare for me, especially around my favorite show.
