This scene analysis focuses on Darlene and Dominique’s missed encounter at the airport in Mr. Robot. It considers how the movement of Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘Run Away with Me’ between the scene and its soundtrack shapes the failed romantic reunion. The essay uses this interplay of content and form to examine the scene’s fantasy of romantic completion.
