60% Informative
"Plaything" follows the criminal investigation into reclusive gamer Cameron Paul Walker .
The episode is set in a timeline of Bandersnatch in which Colin Ritman was a character in the show's choose-your-adventure holiday special.
In 1994 , young Cameron 's understanding of the Throng grows because of " Lump ," a drug dealer who supplies Cameron with LSD.
The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst was explored in the 2015 true crime mini-series.
The episode, "Plaything," is about a man whose body was found dismembered in Galveston Bay , Texas , in 2001 .
In the episode, Cameron becomes the messenger of the "Throng" He tells the cops he is free from fear and free of conflict.
The episode ends with a bloodied Cameron holding out his hand to the man who attacked him.
It'd be a hell of a way for Brooker to end his series.
"Plaything" is the second -to-last episode of Season 7 .
No season 8 has yet been announced.
