There's quite a lot to process and my mind is all over the place, but I'm really happy with this episode and the season in general. I'm among those who liked season 1 slightly better because I feel the story was more focused, but it doesn't mean that this one was any less spectacular. (I'd rate season 1 as 100/100, and season 2 as 99/100).
One of the reasons I believe the episode solidifies this as a great season is that it gave us plenty of answers... but not really. I was worried about that, but I'm very satisfied with the information we now have. The FBI reveal was definitely what shocked me the most and I'm still not sure what to make of it exactly, but I'm very excited to see what's next on that front.
Tyrell has really great chemistry with Elliot/Mr. Robot and it's always enjoyable to see them together on screen, particularly THAT scene. I really hope he appears more in future episodes - even though at the same time all the secrecy and not knowing what happened with him was interesting.
The only thing that I felt was a bit disconnected was the side plot with Joanna and Scott Knowles. I feel like it seemed to be going somewhere but was just a side plot to throw us off. However, I also really like how Joanna is played and it was entertaining nonetheless (and who knows, maybe it's more important to the main plot than what I think).
This show is the complete opposite of the norm and as long as it continues to be this way, it will be one of the best on television. Once again, thank you Sam Esmail.
PS: Extremely happy about Rami Malek winning the Emmy. Him and Tatiana Maslany really deserved it.

I'm in awe.
