But even now, there are intriguing loose ends and charming plot threads not covered in a description of the main action. Take Philip Price, for instance. As played, brilliantly, by Michael Cristofer, Price seems to have known his time was almost up the moment he allied himself with Elliot to take down Whiterose. So when he realizes he has arrived at what is clearly meant to be his place of execution, he is resigned to his fate and spends the ensuing meeting getting hammered on champagne.

This leads to some of the night’s funniest lines. “You think I can’t survive being doxxed?” Whiterose shouts at him at one point after Darlene’s new video goes viral.

“I have no idea,” Price deadpans. “I’m as curious as you!”

And later, when the hack goes through and Whiterose begins to realize it, you can hear the laughter in Price’s voice as he asks, “Something wrong, old sport?” Price has the most dramatic death of all the main characters who’ve bought the farm this season; it seems fitting that he has the most fun on his way out.

I reviewed this week’s episode of Mr. Robot for the New York Times.
