As Brooker has continually explained sinceBlack Mirrors arrival, tech aint the problem we are.

Retribution is exactly what Verity has planned.

None of it though, satisfied her because her sci-fi superpowers couldnt change her unhappy past.

So, shes taking action by hurting the people that once hurt her.

Shes a pedant whom we first meet correcting her boyfriend on the location of a potential holiday destination.

Changing realities that Maria knows to be fact is a silver bullet for a character like hers.

Veritys plan works like a charm, until Maria fights back at the last moment.

Well, according to Kae, she always did like to be top dog.

Anybody have a pendant they can use to zap us out of this reality?

All six episodes ofBlack Mirrorseason seven are streaming now on Netflix.
