Episode Summary & Review
Summary
At fsociety, Elliot lays out his plan to hack Steel Mountain’s climate control system and raise the heat high enough to melt all the tapes that record the data. Romero points out the plan’s many flaws but when Elliot remembers that they only have a few days left before Evil Corp switches over to their new redundant security protocols based on what Tyrell Wellick told him, they reluctantly agree it’s now or never.
Our Take
This is the heist-episode kickoff, and it mostly works as a tense planning session, though it leans hard on exposition to get everyone up to speed. The back-and-forth about why the plan will fail gives Romero a welcome moment to shine, but the pacing drags in spots. Worth your time, even if it feels like setup for bigger things.
