The latest episode of Sam Esmail's drama-thriller television series "Mr. Robot" airs this week and will see Elliot (Rami Malek) seek help from his therapist Dr. Krista (Gloria Reuben) as the FBI closes in on him. The upcoming installment titled "Eps3.6_Fredrick+Tanya.Chk" will also take on Angela (Portia Doubleday) recalling an event from the past.
The trailer for the third season's seventh episode shows Elliot in a crowd witnessing the destruction of the buildings on the news flashed on screen. Having seen enough, Elliot covers his head with his hoodie trying to look as inconspicuous as possible. The following clip shows Elliot talking to Dr. Krista who asks him what the problem is as he seemingly struggles to put into words what is in his mind. Edward (Christian Slater) is also featured in the promo saying it is not him Elliot should be worried about, but the real string pullers who mean him harm.
In the previous episode, Elliot was in a race against time as he tried to undo a hack he pulled off into the E Corp internal system that could cause a building to collapse. Unfortunately, he does even more damage when 71 other E Corp buildings explode and catch fire, resulting in the death of thousands of people. Elliot could not believe what he has caused as he watched the destruction on the news.
In an interview with Collider, showrunner Esmail revealed that Elliot's predicament could only get worse from here on. Esmail also praised the show's writers and the rest of the crew for taking up the challenge of producing such a complicated storyline. He also added that Elliot will eventually get through his current situation, but it will never be like the way it was before.
"Mr. Robot" season 3 episode 7 will air on Wednesday, Nov. 22 at 10 p.m. EST on the USA Network.
