There's some satirical 80's American family television show at the first 15 minutes of the episode, I guess? I don't really know about American television because I don't live there. It's actually funny and refreshing because it's very different from this show's theme, and it's beautiful because you can see the Alderson family trip with full member even though it's not real.
After I watched the first season I always wanted to see the real Elliot's father more because most of the time his figure throughout the show were shown as Mr Robot and I don't really like him. Finally, at the last minutes of this episode there's a flashback scene of Elliot's father talking to young Elliot revealing about his illness and telling him not to tell anyone about that (it was mentioned before in season 1) and the origin of the Mr Robot name. I was crying so hard throughout the scene, everytime Elliot's father talk I cried even harder because he was actually a sweet dad. Well, at least that was as far as what this episode reveal of him, I'm not sure about when he was dying in hospital and he wasn't nice to Elliot when he was around him but I hope Elliot's father was a great father until his death.
