She punches the bathroom mirror, but it repairs itself, and she’s left without a scratch. Yorkie, distraught, leaves, and Kelly gets angry at herself. In fact, she gets defensive, saying their night together was just for fun. Yorkie can’t wait to talk to Kelly, but Kelly refuses. (It’s our first hint to what else San Junipero is! Let’s see… it’s a place where anyone can aspire to be anything.)įinally, in 2002, Yorkie finds Kelly playing Dance Dance Revolution against the man she’d encountered at the arcade in past visits. But for Yorkie, the glasses are comforting she had them when she was in school. “Why glasses?” Kelly wonders, because most people don’t look authentically like themselves - they base their appearance on stuff they’ve seen in movies. She grabs a drink with her, and lets her take the lead on both choosing drinks and questioning. Wes buys it, and Yorkie can’t get enough of Kelly. It’s an adorable (and somewhat dark) meet-cute: Kelly spins a cover story that casts Yorkie as an old friend who’s dying in six - oh wait, five! - months. A man tries to chat her up, but Yorkie floats away to a booth, where Kelly crashes her reverie and asks her to play along with a plot to avoid Wes. Yorkie follows, slipping past Rick Astley clones and revelers before reaching the arcade for a round of Bubble Bobble. She wanders through a neon-drenched street before spotting a fellow tourist, the purple-clad Kelly (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), trying to escape a man named Wes. Let’s instead begin with Yorkie - yes, like the dog breed - a bespectacled, wide-eyed tourist played by Halt and Catch Fire‘s Mackenzie Davis, plucked from one fictional ’80s reality into Black Mirror‘s.
