Elder people can visit San Junipero for a trial period, but are limited to 5 hours a week, ending at midnight.Īn aged Kelly (Denise Burse) goes to visit Yorkie, and discovers that she is a quadriplegic elderly woman living in an assisted living facility. In reality, the consciousnesses of the dead are uploaded into a newly developed virtual reality system, where they can live in a simulated place called San Junipero as their younger selves forever. Yorkie begs her not to, but after some persuasion, she tells Kelly where she is in California. The two sleep together again, and Kelly tells Yorkie she wants to meet her "in real life", implying that they are actually in an alternate reality.

She confesses that she is dying and that she only meant to have fun, and not make connections while in San Junipero. Feeling bad, Kelly goes back and finds Yorkie on the rooftop. Kelly brushes her off, and Yorkie is hurt and leaves. She eventually finds her in 2002, playing Dance Dance Revolution. Yorkie continues searching for Kelly in San Junipero, seeming to have traveled time. Spotting Wes at the sex club Quagmire, Yorkie asks him where she is, but he tells her he doesn't know although she should try looking "at the 80s, 90s, and in the 2000s". The following week Yorkie searches for, but cannot find, Kelly. The scene ends abruptly when the clock hits midnight. Kelly shares that she is bisexual and was once married to her husband. Yorkie reveals it was the first time she'd had sex, with anyone. The two kiss, and then go to Kelly's bungalow where they have sex. She again spots Kelly, this time flirting with a different man, and follows her into the bathroom. The following week Yorkie tries to dress up, before settling on similar clothes to the week before. When Kelly comes after her and propositions her for sex, Yorkie is intimidated, tells Kelly she is engaged, and reluctantly leaves. Embarrassed to be seen flirting with Kelly, Yorkie runs away. Kelly talks to Yorkie to ditch Wes, pretending they are old friends, and then compliments her "authentic" look and invites her to dance. One of the first people she sees is Kelly (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a vivacious party girl trying to lose Wes, a man she had a fling with. In 1987, a shy young woman, Yorkie (Mackenzie Davis), visits San Junipero (a so-called party town) for the first time.
