Simple story, brilliant execution. Elliot is in a bad place, but a fateful encounter with Trenton's little brother averts his deletion and he starts using his skills (with Mobley's brother) and his memories (with Angela) for the better. We have also seen what appears to be his father's death - it could not be, but I'm inclined to believe it is.

Back to the Future returns, this time more prominently than ever set in the day of the travel to the future, and I don't know quite what to make of it. It is just an homage to the film? Is this day just supposed to be a game-changer in Elliot's mind?

I was glad this episode did not contain a lot of other characters and no Mr. Robot. I'm sure the next will double down on them as Elliot follows the information from Trenton's e-mail (which suggests the FBI currently has useful data from Romero in the form of evidence, but they don't know it).

This season is shaping up to be the best season of television I've seen unless the next remaining episodes go horribly wrong. But that doesn't seem like what will happen, at all. This season seems completely planned and carefully constructed in a very inspired way.

@playsonic2 Just watched it again as I rewatch the whole show so far... this might be the best episode of all time for me. 10/10 is just not enough.
