BD Wong will expand his role as Whiterose, a hacker from the Dark Army involved with Phillip Price.

'Mr. Robot' Season 2 Plot, Spoilers

Mr. Robot Season 2 picks up 30 days after fsociety’s cyber-attack (dubbed Five/Nine) on Evil Corp, an attempt to release the bottom 99 percent of America of their debts. Elliot’s first challenge will be to recover the memories he lost in the three days immediately following the hack, after he wakes up in Tyrell Wellicks SUV. If he can’t discern what’s in his head from reality, which he probably won’t (let’s be honest), Elliot’s bound to take us on a thrilling rollercoaster that’s even darker than the previous season. We’ll learn more about Elliot’s childhood by way of flashbacks, the traumatic upbringing that made him who he is today. Elliot must learn to rid his mind of his incessant delusions of his late father, but now that Elliot is at least aware that Mr. Robot doesn’t actually exist (or does he?), will he be able to control his alter ego?

There appear to be multiple characters associated with Ray, and considering he’s rumored to help Elliot, it’ll be interesting to find out exactly what kind of assistance Ray can provide. The FBI is going to be investigating Tyrell Wellick’s disappearance. The teasers show he is indeed the face of the madness, but that doesn’t mean Elliot is in the clear. He’s going to have to make sure he’s covered his tracks to make it out unscathed, especially since FBI Agent Dominique "Dom" DiPierro is going to be all over his shit.
