Black Mirror 'Hotel Reverie' Ending Explained: Issa Rae and Emma Corrin - Netflix Tudum
April 14, 2025 - Despite the unintentional changes to the plot, the new Hotel Reverie is a streaming hit. And in a touching move, Kimmy (Awkwafina), the Redream representative who’d been coaching Brandy through filming, sends her a Redream package containing a rotary phone that allows her to talk to Dorothy, the actress who played Clara, anytime she wants. Black Mirror creator and showrunner Charlie Brooker knew early on what he wanted in the episode’s final moments. “I knew exactly what the ending should be,” he tells Tudum.

'Black Mirror' Season 7, Episode 3 “Hotel Reverie” Ending, Explained
April 25, 2025 - As a heartbroken Brandy celebrates the popularity of her Hotel Reverie Reborn, she receives a gift from Kimmy and the ReDream team—a phone with a connection to Dorothy’s old screen test, now reprogrammed into a chat-ready AI. Brandy picks up, and Dorothy says she has “all the time in the world” to talk. It should be a happy reunion, but it’s not. This Dorothy doesn’t remember Brandy, because she doesn’t exist. Womp womp. It was high-time Black Mirror tackled the ethics of digital resurrection, and with Issa Rae and Emma Corrin at the helm, it couldn't have been better.

r/blackmirror on Reddit: Realized something about Hotel Reverie's ending
February 24, 2025 -
When the company sends Brandy a way for her to communicate with Clara again, it's not even Clara she's talking to, it's Dorothy.
At the start of the episode, Brandy researches Dorothy Chambers before landing the role of Alex and watches a video. You can see the company recreated the footage (from the ending) of a video called Dorothy Chambers Screen Test, so it's not even a version of Clara she's talking to, but a version of Dorothy playing her role as Clara. It's not even a semblance of the character Brandy managed to fall in love with, but of the actress who hasn't even started playing the role in the movie. Same face, but totally different person. Makes the ep's ending more bleak in my opinion.

Brandy was in love with Dorothy, not Clara

Isn’t that kind of obvious? Yes it’s not the same person she fell in love with, but there’s the same potential for them to fall in love with each other. I kind of took it as a soft reference to kill the DJ in that if they really loved each other, their different versions would as well.

April 10, 2025 - Issa Rae and Emma Corrin in "Black Mirror." Credit: Courtesy of Netflix · The AI construct of Clara whom Brandy meets in Hotel Reverie finds self-awareness over the course of the episode. Even after being reset, she still recalls a major turning point in her journey: Brandy mistakenly calling her Dorothy. That moment is enough to send Clara down her own path with her own agency, even if it ends in death.

Everything inside the VR system I really liked, such a moving story. Being stuck for weeks if not months in a frozen hotel would have been insane but they had each other. Then being ripped back and expected to carry on like nothing happened. Brutal! Everything outside the system I hated. All the staff sucked, there is no way they would only get one take, a studio even one in so much debt would be able to get a room for the whole day, not just two random hours to time crunch them. They really expected an actress to memorize every single line for a main roll and nail it on the first go in like one day or a handful of days. It is like the script was written by someone who knows nothing about theatre or film making.

ok well i liked this one. but im also a lesbian and a sucker for old hollywood accents and aesthetics. sure the premise of this is kind of silly, but i thought it was fun and sweet. i do wish the thing Brandy received was footage of their weeks together.
