The Great Escape is the second episode of the Season One of Russian Doll and the second episode of the series overall.
It appears that things have already started to drastically change, as she stops off at the grocery store she was last seen and asks Ferran about his friend that was having troubles, except he doesn’t have a clue what she’s talking about, making Nadia feel very confused as to what’s going on.
Eventually, Nadia gets in touch with Maxine’s drug dealer, Wardog, in order to set up a meeting to talk about the cocaine. Before that however, she needs to get to this Code Review her phone reminds her about every time she dies. Her manager accuses Nadia of putting a bug in to the gaming system they are currently creating, in which Nadia responds by calmly fixing the bug in a mere two seconds, putting all of the men in the room to shame. Nadia then gets a text from Wardog and rushes out of the meeting to finally get some answers.
Wardog lets Nadia in on the password to their secret room at the bar and he also tells Nadia that he rolled the joints himself and from his new supplier, added cocaine to them. After leaving the bar, Nadia’s ex-boyfriend, John, calls her with concerns, leading to an argument between the pair and Nadia falling down open cellar doors to her death.
When Nadia escapes from the party, again, she runs straight back to the bar where Wardog is and uses the secret password he gave her prior to her death down the open cellar doors. Nadia then learns that Wardog’s new supplier, Dr. Daniel, actually used Ketamine and not Cocaine in the joint she smoked. The plan is to use it as a treatment for cancer patients.
Outside, Nadia see’s her grocery store friend Ferran, leaving with his sick friend and unfortunately, falls down the same cellar doors as before and dies.
After having a row with Maxine, Nadia knocks in to a man on the stairs falling to her death. With every attempt to leave the building, no matter how Nadia goes down them stairs – she always ends up with a broken neck. After multiple rows with Max, Nadia sticks around for the full event by drinking and doing drugs by herself until she passes out on the couch. The next morning, Nadia tries a different exit strategy and leaves through the fire escape, with the help of her other best friend, Lizzy.
