      Victoria Skillane: I woke up in this house. I don't even know if it was my house. I don't even know who I am.

      Jem: You must know something.

      Victoria Skillane: [Victoria shakes her head. Then pulls out a photo of a little girl from her pocket] I think this is my daughter.

    Twist in the tale
    I never saw the twist in the tale of this fine episode of Black MIrror. Much has been written about this seminal episode from the mind of Charlie Brooker. I'm especially impressed by the English gloomy skies, which add more than a touch of realism to this harrowing episode where we are desperate to make sense of the horror. What is the white bear? We soon find out.
