In the next episode of "Mr. Robot," Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) attempts to disappear from the internet and not leave a trace of his existence online.

The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "eps3.7_dont-delete-me.ko" was released just recently and showed Elliot laying low and avoiding any interaction with computers. He wears his black hoodie and covers his head to avoid detection from anyone who may be familiar with him. He meets up with his sister Darlene (Carly Chaikin) whom he has not seen in three weeks. "I'm getting worried about you. What happened with the attacks...that's not you," she says to him with concern. However, Elliot tells her in return, "Even if it was him, it was me." Apparently, it was his split identity Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) who was part of the attacks which killed many people. Now, Elliot is trying to disappear from the internet to erase any of Mr. Robot's tracks.

The troubled hacker breaks all his hard disks by drilling holes into them. Moreover, he microwaves his other disks so that all the information will be burned and corrupted. Elliot is determined to vanquish himself from the web to become a virtual ghost. However, he is still bothered that E Corp is able to get away with the bombings. "E Corp is going to be just fine because I wanted this," he says to Darlene.

In the last episode, the Black Army staged the suicides of computer hackers Trenton (Sunita Mani) and Mobley (Azhar Khan) to make them appear as the masterminds of attacks. The FBI found their bodies and ruled that it was them who hacked the system and orchestrated the bombings. They later closed the case because of the overwhelming evidence.

"Mr. Robot" season 3 episode 8 will hit the airwaves on Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 11 p.m. EST on the USA network.
