Baby Reindeer – Season 1 Episode 2 1

Donny has secretly been dating Teri, a trans American therapist. Despite seeking out a trans partner, Donny is ashamed of his feelings and has told Teri he is a builder named Tony. Martha’s stalking intensifies. She leaves comments on every photo on Donny’s Facebook profile, and jealously sends harassing messages to his ex-girlfriend Keeley, whose mother, Liz, is Donny’s landlady. Martha also begins to follow him home after his shifts at the pub. Teri encourages Donny to go to the police but he refuses, believing that Martha is harmless. 

He attempts to get his coworkers to ban her from the pub, but one of them sends her a reply from Donny’s account asking for anal sex as a joke, leading her to believe he returns her feelings. Donny has a successful date with Teri while high on cocaine, but when Teri asks Donny to kiss her in public, he panics and abandons her on the train. As he walks home, Martha follows him, pushes him against a wall, and gropes his crotch.
