History Recap / BlackMirrorBlackMuseum

* ADateWithRosiePalms: [[DefiedTrope Almost.]] Rolo Haynes has to physically prevent a white supremacist from pleasuring himself while watching Clayton Leigh screaming in the electric chair.

** The fates of Clayton Leigh and Rolo Haynes. Clayton Leigh's consciousness was downloaded by Rolo before he was killed by electric chair for the weather girl killing. He didn't expect that Rolo would have his recreated digital self re-living being executed by the chair over and over again for a tourist attraction. By the time Clayton's wife and daughter arrive to the museum, he's a vegetable from all the shocking. For revenge, his daughter poisons and downloads Rolo, placing Rolo's downloaded mind in Clayton Leigh's digital mind. She then turns the lever on the chair enough to make the image of her dad "die" for good, but Rolo's mind is trapped in pain forever.

** The tablet Sara used to bludgeon her mother from ''[=ArkAngel=]'' is shown, still covered in blood. A news ticker reports that the [=ArkAngel=] system has been pulled.

** In the third segment, a man sentenced to be executed agrees to have his consciousness digitally duplicated and sold, to provide for his family after he dies. Unfortunately, he end up as a macabre sideshow attraction where he is repeatedly electrocuted by strangers [[ForTheEvulz to satisfy their sadistic desires,]] eventually reduced to a [[EmptyShell mindless drooling husk.]]

* HerosClassicCar: Nish's teal 1961 Ford Thunderbird coupe rental, converted to electric power, with an upgraded sound system and a portable solar panel stowed in the trunk capable of fully charging the battery in just over 3 hours.

** The eventual fate of Carrie in the second segment. She gets her consciousness transferred to a stuffed monkey who's later abandoned by her child, able only to communicate through 'monkey needs a hug' and 'monkey loves you'. This gets doubly terrifying when it's revealed that not only is she still in the monkey in the museum, it's illegal to end her suffering by deleting her from it.

** At the end of the first segment, we see Dawson with a RagingStiffie. Nish reacts dismissively and Haynes admits, "okay, I added the boner. I couldn't resist." This is an early hint that he isn't being entirely truthful, and will add or leave out details to the stories he tells as he sees fit.

* AGlassInTheHand: The doctor in the first segment stays home in an attempt of GoingColdTurkey from addiction to his patients' pain. There he accidentally breaks a whisky glass in his hand by which he discovers the excitement of self-inflicted pain which sends him right OffTheWagon.

** In the first segment, a doctor uses a technology that allows him to feel exactly what his patients are feeling, just so he could give a better diagnosis. But this allows him to experience actual death, which apparently impacts him so deeply that he ends up developing an addiction to pain, which first results in him neglecting his duty to save dying patients in order to get high, then mutilating himself when he is fired from the hospital, and finally resorting to murdering innocent people to satisfy his craving.

* KarmaHoudini: Jack transferred Carrie from his brain into a stuffed toy, and Emily convinced him to make the second transferal out of jealousy and then threatened Carrie into behaving like a normal toy; plus both of them allowed her to eventually be thrown away. They don't appear to receive any comeuppance for the treatment of Carrie's consciousness, even though Haynes was punished by being fired from the hospital after the ACLU "raised a stink". It's implied that it was legal then because the law hadn't caught up with the technology (which is sadly TruthInTelevision). The law now requires any interface to express at least five emotions for it to be humane.

* MenacingMuseum: Takes place in the eponymous roadside tourist trap, a museum focused on examples of criminally-misused technology from across the series. At first, it seems to be just morbid and creepy, but as the owner explains the backstory of his collection, it turns out that some of the "exhibits" are alive and suffering hideous torment - and the owner is directly responsible for their current condition.

* MonochromeApparition: Clayton's hologram being in black and white.
* MundaneLuxury: The comatose woman in the second segment gets excited by the taste of an apple after years of not getting to taste anything at all.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: What Nish ends up doing to Rolo is plain old murder, followed by an eternity of torture in a digital version of suffering in {{Hell}}, but the guy really had it coming, so no tears are shed on either side of the screen.

* RagingStiffie: Rolo adds a stupidly large boner to the end of the story of Dawson.

* SharingABody: Two people can choose to share a body by having one person's consciousness downloaded into the body of another. The "digital" consciousness can see and feel everything the body's owner can, but can only react without exerting any control. It's compared to having a backseat driver.

* SoapBoxSadie: Nish suspects that Rolo considered the people who protested against his treatment of Clayton to be "social justice warriors." They eventually got bored and moved on to another cause, having protested just long enough to get Rolo's business model ruined but not long enough to save the consciousness that he'd already been victimized from further torment.

* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Nish poisons her water bottle for Rolo to drink.

* TragicAbandonedToy: Carrie's mind is [[BrainUploading Brain Uploaded]] into a stuffed monkey for her and Jack's son Parker, with her only method of communication being the ability to say "Monkey loves you" and "Monkey needs a hug." Parker eventually gets bored of the monkey and forgets about it, and it winds up as an exhibit in the Black Museum [[AndIMustScream with Carrie still conscious inside it]].

* TrophyRoom: Rolo's museum pieces are artifacts back from his work at TCKR.

* UnwantedAssistance: Protesters flock Rolo's museum on Clayton's behalf, and drive Rolo's attendance into the ground. This WOULD be good for Clayton, if they hadn't moved on to something else upon realizing the state isn't going to be doing anything. This left only truly undesirable people with deep pockets left as the only people wanting to see Clayton get shocked. For longer than the "safe" time.

* LivingMuseumExhibit: The exhibit of Clayton Leigh's digital self re-living being executed by the chair.
