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.

Elliot attempts to hack Vera out of jail in order to save someone he cares about; Tyrell's "game" gets crazy; and Angela digs deeper into her mother's death.
