Robot and Tyrell want to get on with it is a prime example of that. Robot is often a funny show in its way, and the cashier blathering on as Elliot/Mr. There is humor in these scenes, and it’s worth noting. So it’s back into the station and the attendant Tyrell told he was on Big Brother except this time she realizes who he is. After they stop for gas (not for the van-or, well, for the van but not in the normal way), they exit Salamano’s Stop and Shop to find that the vehicle is gone.

He proceeds to believe that the man is dead, as he tells Elliot, and is right on to a plan about how to dispose of the body and the van.Įxcept the guy isn’t dead. This time, though, it’s from the perspective of the Dark Army agent sitting outside in that white van, where he has been listening and eating Pringles.Įlliot and Tyrell engage in some trickery we don’t see, as we stick with the Dark Army guy, until they arrive to the van and Tyrell bashes him in the head with a hammer. Or, well, it already happened at the end of S4E3, when he told Elliot he’d been promoted to CEO and enthused about taking ECorp down from the inside, but we see it again here.
Yes, he’s devoted to Elliot, but that’s not it-we have to think about why.Īnd it’s that level of devotion, and enthusiasm, that gets them in trouble in S4E4. Robot took an episode to fill in what he was up to while Elliot was in prison. This often enigmatic and strange character, it turns out, really does want to make the world a better place. He’s still on his side, not just because Elliot is Elliot, but because Tyrell is Tyrell. So now he’s grasping at Elliot’s plan to take down Whiterose.
Joanna is killed, his baby is taken away, and it turns out he helped the Dark Army kill a whole bunch of people with Phase 2 (something he clearly didn’t want). Of course, everything goes terribly wrong. He means it in a more Christian way: he believes that they can be saviors of the world. But ultimately, I don’t think he means this in the sense of something like the ancient Greeks. Thus his statements about how he and Elliot can be gods. Plus, it’s always been clear that he desires power. He’s always felt like an outsider trying to fit in, and he’s seen in Elliot a way to break out of that. The truth is, I think, that Tyrell actually cares, as he says in this episode-not just about what others think of him, but about the world.

But that doesn’t feel like a full explanation, either. And certainly there is something there, which makes it cut in S4E4 when Elliot yells that he doesn’t care about him. Williams (Wallace Shawn) that he will always be loyal to Elliot. Of course, he gets passed over for the CTO position at ECorp, and we could think about resentment there, but that hardly explains his motivation to ultimately help Elliot carry out the hack, and be so devoted to Phase 2.Īt times it has seemed as though his devotion has been to Elliot himself for some reason, as when he tells Mr. Why was Tyrell onboard with the idea of 5/9? Why did he ultimately seem even more committed to the cause than Elliot did himself?Īt the beginning of the series, when he first proposes working with Elliot, he seems to be doing well. Indeed, it’s his enthusiasm which leads to the blunder that provides the impetus for this episode. Regardless, the end of S4E3 and the start of S4E4, wherein Elliot returns home to find that Tyrell is there, is reminiscent of that cliffhanger, except now we know that Tyrell really is with Elliot. We were left with a cliffhanger insofar as Elliot had lost time and didn’t know what happened. Remember wondering who came to Elliot’s door at the end of Season 1? I know I thought it might be Tyrell, and I’m sure others did as well.
