Jennifer (Natalia Tena) was a villainess from "White Christmas", episode 2.04 of Black Mirror (airdate December 16, 2014). She was an attendant of an office Christmas party attended by Harry, a socially awkward man who crashed the party in an attempt to find a romantic partner. Aiding him was Matt Trent, a dating coach who was able to watch events transpire from Harry's POV thanks to an augmented reality device called "Z-Eye", as well as communicate with him.
Harry took an interest in the attractive but reserved Jennifer, and was able to quickly bond with her thanks to Matt's advice. The two went to an empty room to talk and share drinks, with Harry becoming reluctant to keep going allow other men to watch the date through Z-Eye. As he talked with Matt about ending the stream, Jennifer briefly caught him (without Harry's knowledge), but seemingly ignored it and invited Harry back to her place.
Once there, Jennifer took Harry to her bedroom and gave him a drink, seemingly preparing for a romantic tryst. But instead, Jennifer once more talked about the voices in her head--though it was now revealed that they were the result of untreated schizophrenia, as Jennifer had stopped taking her medication some time prior to the episode's events (having stated earlier that she "used to take pills"). She also revealed how her plans to leave the company were really plans to end her own life, calling herself a "coward" for having second thoughts in her plan.
As Jennifer was revealing this, Harry began to cough excessively until he was spitting up blood, revealing that the drinks Jennifer had prepared were poisoned. After seeing Harry talking to Matt over Z-Eye, the psychotic Jennifer was led to believe he had the same affliction as her and decided they would both die together. Harry attempted to explain to Jennifer what he had really been doing, but she dismissed his claims as delusions and used a funnel to force Harry to drink more of the poisoned drink after drinking some herself. Harry was later confirmed to have died, and it can be assumed that Jennifer also died as a result of drinking the poison.
