Mr Robot: 10 Worst Things That Happened To Elliot Alderson

9. Being Forcibly Overdosed On Heroin

We know how Elliot has "died" several times throughout the series, but this near death experience has to be the most ****ed up thing ever.

I've mentioned that Elliot was completely hell bent on raining down doom upon Whiterose and the Dark Army, but as Whiterose's assistant said: "he needs to be kept on a short leash and trained not to bite his master." This scene was a proof that she wasn't kidding.

Elliot gets kidnapped by a group of men in black (one of them being Sam Esmail himself) and gets taken back to his apartment, Esmail comes forward and tells Elliot "goodbye, friend" before injecting him with a very lethal overdose of heroin. This leads to Elliot's long, painful and agonisingly slow death, where the key memories from the series flash before his eyes. But the credits cut back to Elliot being brought back to life by Phillip Price using Narcan.

While it's a relief that Elliot survived, we can't deny that this was one of the most painful and harrowing near-death experiences he went through. And the fact that he had a history of drug addiction makes it even worse.
