[Mr. Robot] S2E03 "eps2.1_k3rnel-pan1c.ksd" - Post-Episode Discussion

[SPOILER](#s "Rewatching this episode for the first time since hearing that interview. I feel like a lot of people were looking at the aderol scene for the aformentioned easter egg. Im not even sure if this qualifies as an easter egg but here goes... I think maybe earlier in the ep when Ray is having breakfast with his wife , who he later explains is dead, the camera lingers on some kind of life support machine behind Ray for the first few seconds of the scene. I'll have to rewatch the scene when Elliot goes to visit his mom after getting out of jail and take a look at that machine. I know this multiverse of Elliot personalities is played but look what happened with Tyrell. I thiiink everything that happened with Ray: Ray's understanding of Elliot, the website, the chess, the beat down, then when he locks Elliot and robot up together in the basement, even Ray's arrest could just be him defeating the corrupt part of himself that he felt he needed to have arrested before he could be ready to embrace tyrelliot and phase 2.

Also of note: • I remember thinking it was interesting that Ray said Elliot was like moses or something. • There are still some things about the prison reveal that I still find far fetched and a lot of that revolves around Ray. • Elliot doesn't play chess with Leon , who I'm gonna assume is real but does play chess with Robot and then Ray. •Romero (who lives with his mom and just got out of jail) mentions a son falling out of his fathers window (with that easter egg gun on the poster pointed to his head). Anyway, I'm pretty new to reddit, not sure if these theories have been posted elsewhere, just trying to use the spoiler tag correctly and do a little tldr down here...

Tl;Dr Ray is part of Elliot? (Relliot?). The easter egg being Ray's breakfast with his wife, could he talking to Elliot's mom? Ray was Elliot's guilt / sense of vigilancy, ultimately defeated (in chess) before being ready for tyrelliot and phase 2. ")
