The episode begins with Karen in her bedroom taking selfies of herself before sending one of the photos into the her iPad.

48 Hours Ago, Karen is seen moving in to a house with her boyfriend, Eric, helping move her items in. Karen then told Eric that she wanted to be the old Karen she used to be on Lifegram, and expresses her anger towards her parents for falling into a scam started by their business partner. Eric then tells Karen that she is lucky to have parents, while Eric only had his grandmother to take care of him after his parents abandoned him and have different families. Karen then comforts him by promising that she wont leave his side.

The next day, Karen finds out that her friend, Jesse has cut ties with her after no longer used to the old Karen who goes live all the time. She then returns home and begins editing her photo and posting it on Lifegram that she "was staying in Olive`s Hanging Garden Spa and Resort as a three day VIP guest", thus setting up the stage of the episode`s opening scene.

Back to the present, Karen wakes up the next day only to find herself in a different room. She opens up the curtain and finds herself in a resort. She briefly wonders where she was, before looking at a menu on her dresser with the name "Olive`s Hanging Garden Spa and Resort'. Karen wondered how she got to the resort before seeing a note from the resort staff. She then runs out of her room and towards the pool area, screaming in joy and attracting the attention of nearby guests. Karen then began taking selfies of herself before taking pictures of her food served by the resort staff and herself in the swimming pool.

The following night, Karen posts pictures of a dress she bought from the resort`s boutique, now liked by many people and regaining the popularity she used to have. She then calls Eric the following night. Though Eric asked Karen on her constant lies, she sarcastically shrugs it off before telling Eric her story of how she ended up in the resort. When their call ended, Karen posted her wallet about bringing a lot of cash before picking up her wallet and found lots of packed money inside.

The next day, Karen finds Eric and asks him to picture her on someone`s car. Few minutes later, they share an intense argument before Eric reveals that he had another girlfriend, one who is better than Karen. Angered, she types a fake news stating that "Eric and his girlfriend died in a freak accident" before doubting whether she should post it. Karen then runs back to Eric in the resort`s parking lot before Eric apologized to Karen, revealing that he doesn’t have another girlfriend, and that the girl he was talking about was in fact Karen. Karen then apologized back. As she tried to hug Eric, a thunderstorm approaches, striking a nearby lamp post. The lamp post then falls towards Karen, but Eric`s attempt to save her fails and he and Karen were both electrocuted to death, implying that Karen has posted the fake news moments before forgiving each other.
