'Mr. Robot' Season 1 Recap, Spoilers: The Attack on Steel Mountain Begins

In the last week's showing of USA Network's hit TV drama series "Mr. Robot," Elliot (Rami Malek) and the rest of the fsociety male members embarked on the trip to destroy Steel Mountain, the most secured data facility in the entire country.

Thanks to Elliot, Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) has to forgo his initial plan to just blow up the facility which, if it happened, would endanger the lives of people living around the area. The show's main protagonist instead concocted and proposed a strategy of implanting a device that could raise the temperature on a dangerous level to fry the data machines.

Unfortunately, Elliot's severe withdrawal symptoms from his morphine addiction kicked in and it derailed everything. The tech savants needed to get to a motel room to allow their young companion to detoxify.

During the ordeal, Elliot experienced such highly vivid hallucinations including getting shot fatally, speaking in front of the camera for fsociety, seeing his childhood self, watching his best friend Angela (Portia Doubleday) eat his pet fish, and more others. The whole cycle hindered the group from carrying out the plan.

What came as a surprise to fans was how the events turn out to show that the gang, especially Mr. Robot, actually cared for him.

Moving on to this week's episode titled "eps1.4_3xpl0its.wmv," the synopsis posted at The Futon Critic said that fsociety arrives at Steel Mountain. The operation requires Elliot to "get in and get out" from the vicinity.
