Elliot (Rami Malek) will do the unthinkable and bail Fernando Vera (Elliot Villar) out of jail in order to save someone important in the upcoming episode of USA Network's cyberpunk-thriller drama series "Mr. Robot."
In "eps1.5_br4ve-trave1er.asf," the young hacker will attempt to get the evil drug dealer out of prison. Fashion & Style reveals that it will be because of Shayla (Frankie Shaw), his new girlfriend. It appears that Vera's goons will not leave the former drug addict alone and it will be Elliot's job to make her safe. After all, it may be him whom Vera is targeting in the first place, since he is the one responsible for his incarceration.
Last episode, Shayla was starting a new job as a waitress when she suddenly went missing. Elliot found her phone ringing when he got into her apartment. It was Vera on the line, telling him that he knew Elliot was the anonymous informant. What kind of demands will the drug dealer impose on Elliot? And is Shayla really being held hostage by Vera and his men?
Meanwhile, TV Guide reports that Angela (Portia Doubleday) will be looking for more information about her mother's death in episode 6. After walking out of her cheating boyfriend Ollie (Ben Rappaport) and framing him for hacking AllSafe, it seems like she has a bee in her bonnet that will not let her rest until she digs deeper into the incident. She has moved out of the apartment she shared with Ollie and is staying at her dad's.
Elsewhere, Darlene (Carly Chaikin) has informed fsociety that their mission at Steel Mountain was a bust. The Dark Army has foiled their plans after bailing out at the last minute. She wanted to go solo and do her thing to bring the facility down, but the rest of the team members were against it. While the plan, which involved Elliot pretending to be a tech billionaire who went on abusing the staff, did not work, fsociety may be hatching another stratagem up its sleeves.
"Mr. Robot" airs Wednesday 10 p.m. EST on USA Network.
