Origin of the Title[]

  • In computing, metadata is data that provides details about other data, such as when created, file size and data creator.
  • The extension: A .par2 file contains error-correction data that can be used to fix files corrupted during a download or used to re-create missing files.

Summary[]

The episode takes place immediately after Episode 2. While on the train, Darlene is pickpocketed, but she only asks the pickpocket to return Elliot's family photo, believing that she also stole from everyone during Five/Nine. Returning to her apartment, Dom advises Darlene not to blow her cover to Elliot, but Elliot still brings her to his apartment. The siblings plan to bring down the Dark Army by themselves, with Elliot giving Shayla's apartment to Darlene to monitor Mr. Robot's movements. The FBI capture the fsociety member who posted the video a few days ago, but he keeps mute about his employers. Darlene watches Angela interact with Mr. Robot, and asks Dom to allow her to investigate without a wire, for fear of harming Elliot. At the Dark Army hideout, while Tyrell attacks Mr. Robot for Elliot's actions in delaying Stage 2, Elliot reawakens, but is knocked out by Angela, who forcibly keeps him in her apartment and requests Phillip to fire him from E-Corp because of his actions. Together, Tyrell and Angela plan for Stage 2 to happen on Monday, September 29.
