[Dark Mirror] The Common People Episode 1 Season 7 Ending Explained - Probably The Saddest Entry In The Series! *SPOILER*

Although it was Amanda who went through the procedure, it was Mike who was
deeply affected by the whole thing. Mike clearly loves his wife, is a
supportive husband and is not ready to let her go. That is why, when he first
met Gaynor, he looked at the whole Rivermind thing as his lifeline. He
subscribed to the whole thing without even thinking about the long-term
consequences. To cough up the monthly 300 bucks, Mike started picking up a
few extra shifts here and there, but over time, the overtime became his
normal routine. Amanda, on the other hand, started running ads around Mike
without even realising it. This led to Mike thinking about the next tier of
the Rivermind so that they would not have to worry about the ads and the
consequences. That is when Mike decided to join DumDummies.
