The Black Mirror season 6, episode 4 ending is a wild one, as Mazey Day’s revealed to be a werewolf that slaughters everyone nearby, but not before Bo can get her paparazzi photos. Ooft.

Bo and her companion photographers are gradually chased down by Mazey after she transforms due to the full moon. Having disappeared after running someone over while driving under the influence of mushrooms, it turns out Mazey’s victim was a werewolf.

Once clawed by the monster, she becomes a lycanthrope herself. Of course, our intrepid photographers find out about this the hard way. They discover her chained up in a new age rehabilitation facility, Bo takes off her shackles, and all hell breaks loose.

Mazey runs rampant, eventually reaching the diner we saw earlier in the episode. Everyone’s clawed to death, but Bo manages to shoot Mazey using a sheriff’s gun. On the ground, mortally wounded, Mazey begs for death.

Bo hands her the firearm, choosing instead to photograph the exact moment the actor shoots herself. Grim, even by the standards of one of the darker Netflix series.
