How To Tell White Bear

My friend summarized an episode of one of his favorite shows, Black Mirror, for me titled White Bear.

1. He started by explaining the time period and location in which the episode was set.

2. He then went on to set up the main character’s first arrival on screen.

“We first see the protagonist waking up due to an obviously painful headache. Her house is trashed, and there is a bottle of pills lying at her feet, forcing the audience to wonder if she attempted suicide the night before.

She informs the main character that a signal broadcasted through television and phone has turned the townsfolk into inaudible, zombie-like filmers, while the few not affected have turned mad with power.”

4. My friend then told me the rising action of the story.

“The heroic woman then states that the only way to save themselves, as well as the people in their town, is to destroy the facility broadcasting the signal, called the White Bear. After a slight detour in which the two are kidnapped and nearly tortured in the woods, they arrive at the facility. Just as they are about to burn it to the ground, the man with the rifle appears and kills our brave sidekick. The protagonist valiantly tackles the man to the ground and takes the rifle from his hands. When she pulls the trigger, no bullets come out, only a large amount
