Upload (VR distracts from intruder)

Brief description

In the last episode of season 1, Nora is in her apartment using a VR headset to break up with Nathan, and is so immersed that she does not notice an intruder entering her apartment in real life. The intruder brandishes a knife, then, hearing voices in the hallway, the intruder opens Nora's front door and looks out. An alert displays in Nora's headset: "SimpleSafe Alert: Front door open". She frowns, says, "That's weird", and takes off her headset to check, disappearing from Nathan's view in the VR. The intruder meanwhile has hidden in the bathroom. Nathan calls her again, but on video chat this time, allow Nora to see him and her physical space at the same time. Wondering why her window is open, she goes to close it, and spots the intruder brandishing the knife in the mirror. She jumps out the window and is followed by the intruder. Nathan sees what happens and uses the "icon" Nora gave him earlier, that allows people in the VR to see and edit the code of the VR world, to help her.
