Frank and Amy are set up on a date
by a matchmaking system
that only allows them 12 hours together.
They spend the night and go their separate ways.
Both critical of the AI's matchmaking,
they quickly assign their next dates
which lead to long, painful relationships
and short, shallow ones.
The two are eventually paired up again
and agree not to check their expiration date
but Frank does and they break up.
Amy's ultimate match is calculated
and as a last farewell, the two meet for dinner,
and climb the walls and find
it was all a simulated dating app.
Bella and her friends attempt to retrieve
a mysterious box to help their sick friend Jack
but are attacked by a mechanical guard dog.
It chases after Bella but she manages
to drain its battery while stuck in a tree.
Bella breaks into a house to steal supplies
but the dog catches up and though she blinds it
with paint, the dog's shrapnel shoots her
with a tracking device.
She destroys the dog but when she notices
she's been tagged, she sends a goodbye
to her loved ones and kills herself.
The mysterious box contained teddy bears.
Nish visits a museum where owner Rolo Haynes
explains in his past how he pioneered
a neurological implant for Dr. Peter Dawson
to feel what his patients felt.

to pain and killing others,
eventually becoming comatose.
Moving on, Rolo explains the story
of a stuffed monkey that came from a man
named Jack whose wife Carrie was in a coma.

and eventually the monkey.
Rollo shows Nish a conscious hologram
of a controversially convicted killer.
He explains how he swindled the rights
of the prisoner and allows museum-goers
to activate the electric chair.
Nish reveals that she is prisoner's daughter
and has poisoned Rolo, swaps his subconscious
with her father's, and with the help
of her mother's conscious, frees her father
while leaving Rolo in eternal agony.
And that is the story of Black Mirror, Season Four.
