1. Doppelgänger

"'There is nothing better happening anywhere else right now. Breathe in, hold it and say your affirmations with me. I'm not missing out on anything, isn't that right Noa?' - Mindfulness Narrator"

BBC Episode Synopsis:
Noa (Patsy Ferran) a young Gen Z Urbanite, suffers from continual FOMO. There is always someone somewhere doing something better than the choice she has made. When trying to keep a birthday arrangement with her mum and sister and attend a fun night out with successful friends, her wish to be in two places at the same time turns deadly.

Summary:
"'Why do I keep waking up at 3:44am exactly?' - Noa"Noa awakens alone in her flat which she shares with her cat Gingy. She questions the meaning behind waking at 3:44am exactly 3 times in one week. After she debates with herself whether or not she should check her phone, she seemingly falls down an obsessive social media rabbit hole. She ends up chatting online with her friend Asher after getting serious FOMO after seeing her photos from a girls trip away which Noa had to miss for a work commitment. Noa laments being 25 and feeling like she hasn't done enough in the time she has been alive. Asher wants to see Noa on Friday at a private members club but Noa has plans with her family to celebrate her mother's birthday which has already been rescheduled to fit around Noa's schedule. Noa goes to the kitchen to get some food for Gingy, who alerts her to the front door being open.

Speaking to her sister Jen in a cab, Noa thinks its best not to tell her about her dream of the door to the Dentist's. She tells Jen about waking at the exact time and having the same dream about leaving her apartment, except her doorbell app on her phone showed her actually leaving her apartment. She mentions having a strange feeling of being backstage to her own life like someone was living it for her. Noa tells Jen that the doorbell app didn't catch her coming home which she finds strange. Jen is disappointed that Noa is going to see Ash and not her and their parents. She calls out Noa and her FOMO being a constant issue.

Noa tries to call Ash to reschedule, but the connection is poor and Ash speaks as if she has already met her, mentioning that her friend really likes Noa. At the entrance to the private members club she discovers that someone using her name already checked in. A man approaches her asking if she wants another cigarette mentioning that he thought Noa was a social smoker. Calling her sister Jen, mentions that she has seen Ash's Instagram and tells her she doesn't need to lie. Noa approaches the man again and takes him up on the smoke he offered. She tells him she cannot roll cigarettes and the man says that she told him this before. He tells her he always remembers a face.

Ash calls and asks her to stop wandering off, Noa tells her that she didn't as she's still outside the club. Ash tells her that they left and went to a bar called The Swan down the street. Ash continues speaking as if she has already seen Noa. As Noa walks to the bar in the rain she gets a phone call from herself. Noa's doppelgänger mirrors Noa's words. She asks Noa if she opened the door at the Dentist's Office. She tells Noa that she helps her to be in 2 places at once which is what Noa mentioned wanting at the beginning of the episode. Looking in the bar window she sees herself at the bar.

Noa's doppelgänger tells her she won't see Ash again and that she is the one without a shadow. She tells her to watch as she slits Ash's throat. Upon going in the bar Noa finds that everyone has disappeared. On coming out she has lost time. Noa calls Jen and cries asking her to come and get her. But Jen says she can see Noa outside her home on the video intercom and lets her in. Noa tries to tell her that it isn't really her but Jen hangs up."'There is a door in the city. It looks like any other door. Crowds pass by it everyday but no one knows what's behind it. Nobody remembers the day the door appeared, seemingly out of a dream. It has always been there and yet perhaps it never was. The real question to ask is, is it locking something out, or is it keeping us locked in?' - Noa"
