Mr Robot: 10 Worst Things That Happened To Elliot Alderson
5. Being Unable To Stop Stage 2
Throughout Season 3, Elliot tried to prevent Stage 2 from happening. In order to do so, he first needed to fight off Mr. Robot and his psychological beatings, which would have prevented him from doing so.
After taking too many punches, kicks and slaps from himself, Elliot finally convinces Mr. Robot that the Dark Army fooled them and that there are no paper records in the building, as all of them have been moved to other facilities. They both team up and stop the plan from happening. Elliot believes that he has finally stopped the attacks, but when he walks out and sees the citizens shocked and crying over something they saw, he joins the crowd and discovers he wasn't successful in stopping stage 2 as it already happened in 71 other facilities, killing over 4000 employees.
This was the most shocking moment not just for Elliot, but for us too. For the entirety of the season, he worked hard to stop something that could have a disastrous impact, only for this to be all for naught.
