* HilariousInHindsight: Two based on Creator/HannahJohnKamen's involvement:
** She's set to play ComicBook/RedSonja in a film adaptation, meaning Black Mirror is only the first time she's played a Sonya.
** As mentioned on the main page, the episode's Resident Evil influence is ironic, considering she's also set to play Jill Valentine.
** Fans of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse would likely find the idea of [[Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier John Walker]] and [[Film/AntManAndTheWasp Ava Starr]] hooking up with each other in this series to be amusing in it of itself. It becomes even funnier when Creator/WyattRussell and Creator/HannahJohnKamen were both announced to be co-starring as their characters in a ''Thunderbolts'' movie for the franchise.

The bleakness is nothing new for ''Black Mirror'', but the inability to wrap the plot up tidier is.
