Mr. Robot's Stage 2 Was Explained
We've been wondering all this time what Stage 2 was and now we know. Stage 2 was the destruction of the paper backups of E-Corp -- backups that were going to let E-Corp get things back to normal after the major hack at the end of Season 1. But destroying those backups involves another hack that will ultimately destroy the E-Corp building and likely kill a lot of innocent people. Mr. Robot put all this together. He's at the center of the plan. But Elliot doesn't want innocents killed and was ready to pull the plug. Tyrell, however, was going to have none of that. Although he may have been brought into the plan by Elliot/Mr. Robot, he's going to make sure the plan is carried out. Fans also know now that Stage 2 is a collaborative effort among the Dark Army/Whiterose, Angela, Mr. Robot, and Tyrell. (USA Network)
