In the lead-up to her latest film premiere, Marina resumes her habit of impersonating Jules on a dating app, and meets bartender Anna while waiting for one of her matches to show up. The pair go home, have wild sex, and the next morning Anna leaves nonchalantly, showing little interest in continuing their affair—which leaves Marina insatiably obsessed. Pathologically determined to recapture the magic of their night together, Marina launches into a deranged pursuit, putting the lives of multiple people at risk as she tries to Single White Female her way into Anna’s life. Meanwhile, Beer weaves in Reddit comments analyzing Marina’s behavior, and occasionally checks in on her husband, Henry, who’s hiding a secret of his own.
