#Black mirror season 1 episode 3 summary tv

The two strands meet when Rachel's Ashley Too doll watches the news report on the TV about the real Ashley O slipping into a coma and freaks out. It becomes clear that she has stopped taking her medication, which leads her aunt to give her an overdose which leaves her comatose. She is depressed, and under the control of her aunt/manager who is using medication to keep her true creative instincts (which tend towards nihilistic rock music) at bay. Strand two gives us a look at Ashley O's life behind the scenes, and it ain't pretty. The doll mostly spouts meaningless motivational speeches, and convinces Rachel to enter a dance competition at her school, which causes her some embarrassment after she falls off of a chair during her performance. On Rachel's birthday, her dad buys her an AI doll called Ashley Too, which has been modelled on the star. We see Rachel struggle to connect with her fellow classmates, and devote all of her emotional energy to her love for her idol, Ashley O. The first strand of the story is centred around loner Rachel, her brooding sister Jack and their father, who runs a humane mouse control service (it probably doesn't help Rachel's cause that he picks her up from school in a car adorned with mouse ears).
