The highly anticipated hacker drama, Mr. Robot, continues on USA Network. In the upcoming Episode 8, are the plans of anarchist Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), hacker Elliot (Rami Malek) and his best friend Angela (Portia Doubleday) "crumbling" as they go up against Evil Corp and Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallström)?

In our previous recap, with the clock ticking, Elliot had to come up with a plan to save Shayla from her ex lover/crime lord, Fernando Vero (Elliot Villar). Hacking into the prison network, Elliot found a way to cut off the lights, open all the prison doors so that Fernando could escape. Unfortunately, though Elliot's plan was a success, he found Shayla (Frankie Shaw) dead in the trunk of a car, with her throat slit.

In our recent recap, while Elliot confessed to his therapist (Gloria Rueben) that he needs to hack to escape loneliness, Evil Corp's SVP of Technology Tyrell Wellick continued his plan to climb up the corporate ladder. After being passed up for promotion, Tyrell and his wife sought revenge against the man who took the high status from him. While Tyrell seduced his way and had an affair with the executive's wife, he ended up strangling her to death. Angela discovered her attempts to hit Evil Corp would also hurt everyone at AllSafe.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Malek teased what's next, "I think it will be interesting watching Elliot try to compose himself and formulate a new plans as his world is crumbling before him."

In an interview with Forbes, Doubleday reveals how Angela's schemes are backfiring on her, "She thought that by going after this monster and this company that she would be avenging her mom and that it was the right thing to do, but inevitably she is hurting people and she persists anyway. So what does that say about her character? That's definitely a huge shift."
