Some people are calling this a filler episode, and it essentially is. The plot doesn't really change much throughout this episode, but why does that matter? If the episode is still enjoyable and engaging, then why is it important for there to be big advancements in terms of the plot? This episode was easily the funniest in season 4 so far, but more than that, the atmosphere and side stories with Darlene and Dom were fantastic. It showed a more caring and vulnerable side of Darlene, as she was helping this random stranger, that we don't often see. And having Tyrell and Elliot/Mr. Robot spend the entire episode together on the run/lost in the woods was very refreshing after Tyrell's absence from the show. Also the atmosphere of the woods, along with the random noises being heard throughout, was pretty creepy and gave the show kind of a horror feel, instead of a thriller, for the first time. And it technically did advance the plot, because whatever those noises were coming from, and that Tyrell found at the end, I can only assume is something pretty wild and possibly pretty important, and I'm stoked to find out what it is and it's relation to the story.
