Michelle Weaver (Morena Baccarin) is the ultimate professional in the hospitality industry. She has strived to be the perfect manager at a top hotel.
On this day, her dream comes true. She gets her much vaunted promotion. Her first step is to de escalate a situation of a newly married couple who have not got the room they booked.
Then something strange happens. Michelle gets a splitting headache. Outside a giant spaceship shaped like a metallic orb emerges in the sky. There is a crowd that appears to stare at it and get mesmerised.
Michelle rushes to her house and to her husband. Only for him to step outside and stare at the orb. He tells her this is downtime, maintenance is taking place.
Michelle is on her own in a world that is not what she thought it would be.
Jordan Peele wrote this episode about people living in a virtual reality. For a subpar reboot, this one had an interesting premise but then just petered out. Like Peele run out of story.
