* FridgeBrilliance: When Frank and Amy finally leave the simulation, it's revealed that of 1,000 simulations, there had been 998 escape attempts. Meaning 99.8% of the time, they rebelled against the system in order to be together. The system claims to have a 99.8% success rate - success is achieved when participants rebel against it because they ''truly'' want to be together. In other words, the system does work.
* FridgeBrilliance: When Amy asks Coach to count to 4, this happens in episode 4 of season 4, 44 minutes and 44 seconds into the episode.
* FridgeHorror: The "real" society has set up but is deliberately critical of the System society, which can suggest that even though they disagree with the Stepford society, they're not so different (by how they have set it up with their own "this is wrong" morals, how they believe in the app as much as the sims are supposed to believe in the System, how they will easily exploit kind-of sentient digital copies, etc.). The System society is real inside of the app, with the "real" Frank and Amy on the outside judging. Just like how the worlds of all the episodes are real inside the episode, and we're outside judging them. Enjoy your crisis.
* FridgeHorror: The sims seem to think they are having a happy ending, but the reality is that that are just all being executed now that their purpose has been fulfilled. They've been in miserable relationships their entire lives, and now that they have one moment of freedom and happiness, they are erased. In truth, they are being enslaved and used and used up in a manner that is even colder than the USS Callister group.

*** Of course they're having a happy ending! The sims aren't built to be eternally-tortured replicants, they're built to ''be sims'', including the part where they have goals and seek to achieve them. They aren't being enslaved and they aren't being used up: if they successfully escape the simulation with their partner, that is a successfully concluded life and a peaceful, resolved death. It isn't what a human would call happiness, but they aren't human, their simulated world is as real to them as ours is to us. For them, they lived, fell in love, beat the system, and were rewarded with truth and a moment of happiness that will last for as long as time exists for them, and it will live on in the real world. If you believe in the theory that our dimension is a simulation, that's as happy an ending as anyone can reasonably hope for.

Removed because there is an assumption that Amy sleeping with a woman is "out of place" when there is no evidence that this is true. It is most likely a nod to the audience that Amy is bisexual (but with a stronger preference for men because most of her assigned dates were men). Additional evidence of this is Amy using the gender-neutral pronoun "they" when talking about the ultimate match with the Coach system.
Deleted line(s) 6 (click to see context) :
* The one woman we see in Amy's string of one night stands seems out of place in a world without any other same sex couples, and that's giving out some breeding-program vibes. But in the context of a dating app, this was probably a closet-check, i.e. making sure Amy's perfect match is in fact a man.

Removed because it doesn't belong in the Fridge section and is arguably natter. The ending shows the real Frank and Amy who are viewing the results of the dating app (which were created by the simulations of Frank and Amy).

* Reading this wiki is relief if you were one of the people who didn't quite get the ending and thought that the moment in the pub was just another simulation of Frank and Amy being run, in a different setting where the coach was downgraded to a dating app to fit the period. Then some horror when you wonder if that might just be the case, and every time Frank and Amy break out they are subject to a GroundhogDayLoop...
