Season 4, Episode 9
10/10
Illuminati Confirmed
2 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
My chest hurts from how tense this episode was, I'm gonna need a lie down and a glass of whiskey! in this episode we finally get the "Conflict" between FSociety and the Deus group, the opening lines of the first ever episode set this conflict up and if the Deus Group are bowling pins then this week, Elliot and Darlene are the ball. We get more ominous hints to a possible twist involving Elliot's seemingly many personalities, we get more Whiterose and Phillip which is never a bad thing and we get ever closer the origins of Whiterose's mysterious "project" the machine. (I still think it's a time machine) other show runners would have used this episode as an opportunity for mindless action and violence and although we do get some of the latter this episode is on the surface, slow and methodical but underneath that surface is a break neck thrill ride which will keep anyone who's been paying attention on the edge of their seat. I also would like to add that the final scenes between Phillip and Whiterose are some of my favourites in the whole show, Phillip finally got the better of her and even though Price is the one left lifeless at the bottom of the stairs he is the true victor. Not much else to say but another incredible hour of television from Esmail and Co. I'm going to give 409 Conflict a 9.9
