Most Black Mirror episodes have a twist near the end and a dark, satirical tone, but some have been lighter, with a few even getting more positive endings than others. Ash is killed in a car accident the following day, and as she mourns him, Martha learns of a new technology that allows her to communicate with an AI imitating Ash, which later turns into an android that looks and acts almost exactly like the real Ash. This is the moment where Martha realizes that what she has done is the opposite of moving on, and that this Ash, although he looks and sounds like him, is not the real one. In the course of the following days, Martha truly understands that no matter how much information android Ash has, he will never be like the real one. One night, Martha tells him that if he's going to pretend to be asleep he should at least pretend to breathe, too. Martha then tells him to leave again and starts punching him, telling him to fight back, something he wouldn't do as Ash doesn't have a record of aggression. Martha finally demands that he leaves the house and he does. The next morning, she finds him near the fence of the house, and he explains that he can't stay farther than a certain distance from his "activation point" in this case, the bathroom , unless his administrator Martha is with him. Martha later takes him on a hike and they walk to a cliff. She asks him to jump, which he is about to do after some confusion, with her breaking down and telling him the real Ash wouldn't do it, and instead would be afraid and cry for his life.
