Plot

Lacie Pound ( Bryce Dallas Howard ) is a singer-songwriter and singer-songwriter. Lacie, who is obsessed with being well received, begins the episode with an approval rating around 4.2. She lives with her brother Ryan ( James Norton ), who has a lower approval rating and does not worry about it. Their lease is expiring, and Lacie is eager to move out to the “luxurious” Pelican Cove, against her brother’s advice. In order to live there, she must either pay an exorbitant rent or earn a discount by having a rating of 4.5 or above.

Naomi ( Alice Eve ), Lacie’s childhood friend, asks Lacie to be her maid of honor at her wedding. Naomi has a rating of 4.8 and many “upper class” friends and lives on a private island. Lacie believes if she delivers a perfect maid of honor, her rating will be pulled up to the 4.5 she needs. She goes to the wedding, but is dismayed to learn that her original flight has been canceled. The airport attendant informs you about the location of this hotel. Due to an earlier argument with Ryan over Pelican Cove and several unfortunate encounters with random strangers on her way to the airport, Lacie’s rating has dropped to 4.183, so she is refused the seat. In a combination of frustration and confusion, Lacie causes a scene by mouthing off the attendant and security gives her a 24-hour punishment that temporarily lowers her rating by one whole point to 3.1 and all downvotes she will incur a double multiply. After being asked to leave the airport, Lacie is forced to make the nine-hour drive to Naomi’s wedding.

Because of its low ranking, Lacie can only rent an old model with controls that are in Czech . After driving for some time, the car loses power and Lacie can not charge it. Lacie then attempts to hitchhike, but passing motorists are shocked at her low rating and refuse to stop, with some even downvoting her for no reason. Susan ( Cherry Jones ) , Susan ( Cherry Jones ), who was diagnosed with cancer, was diagnosed with a cancer.

Naomi calls Lacie and tells her she is no longer welcome to the wedding, as her rating has now dropped to 2.6. Enraged, Lacie gets drunk and decides to go anyway, breaking into the island and gatecrashing the wedding reception. Naomi’s new husband Paul ( Alan Ritchson ) by calling him a “jackhole”. She then rips into Naomi for sleeping with her boyfriend when they were younger, and all the guests subsequently rank her down until she got a ranking of 0, though she was unfazed by this. When Paul attempts to take away the microphone, Lacie suddenly threatens him with a knife. As Lacie continues to rant about Naomi, one of the guests deliberately trips her, allowing security to restrain her.

While in her cell, Lacie begins to exchange with another prisoner ( Sope Dirisu ), and their mutual anger turns to mutual delight as they realize they are free to speak to each other without fear of being ranked down.
