|ShortSummary = Donny confesses his actions and real name to Teri, who angrily asks him to leave. Martha befriends Liz under a false name, leaving a scantily clad photo of herself in Donny's bedroom.

His performance is interrupted when Martha begins heckling him from the audience, escalating to a violent rage when he mocks her from the stage.

|ShortSummary = After six months, Donny attempts to report Martha to the police. When the officer asks him why it took him so long to report her, he flashes back to a few years earlier. As a young comedian he has a chance encounter with Darrien, the writer of a successful television show, who has worked with Donny's comedy idols. Darrien mentors him and encourages him to move to London, before suddenly disappearing from his life.


Donny moves to London and attends drama school, where he meets and moves in with Keeley. He gets a call from Darrien and begins writing a [[television pilot]] under his guidance. Darrien encourages Donny to do drugs and sexually assaults him while he is high. Not realising Darrien is [[Sexual grooming|grooming]] him, Donny spends regular weekend-long drug-fueled "working sessions" at Darrien's apartment, impacting his relationship with Keeley. During these drug binges, Donny blacks out and is assaulted by Darrien, culminating in Darrien raping him while he is on [[LSD]] and [[GHB]]. Donny finally leaves Darrien but his relationship with Keeley breaks down. He realizes that he is attracted to men but associates his feelings with his assault and feels shame, beginning a period of unsafe sex with a variety of partners. In the present, due to his guilt over Darrien's assault and never reporting him, Donny fails to give the police an accurate reporting of Martha's stalking.

|ShortSummary = Martha is banned from Donny's pub after causing a scene while he is working. After she assaults Keeley on the street, Liz asks Donny to move out. He moves into a new flat with friends from drama school, but is dismayed to learn that they spend every night throwing drug-fueled parties. He spends increasing time with Teri, hiding in her flat and coming out to her as [[bisexual]] for the first time. Their relationship begins to suffer due to her trauma over Martha's attack and his [[erectile dysfunction|inability to maintain an erection]], caused by his trauma from Martha and Darrien. Teri convinces him to report Martha again. At the station, he finally gets an officer to look up Martha; after realizing she has prior convictions, the police take the case seriously.


Martha complies with the police, and ceases contact with Donny. However, he finds himself obsessing over her and even masturbating to her image. This helps him successfully have sex with Teri, and their relationship improves. His mother leaves a frantic voicemail, having been told by Martha that Donny is in the hospital after an accident.

|ShortSummary = Donny is horrified to realise Martha has begun harassing his parents and has accused his father of being a pedophile, getting him in trouble at work. After the police are unhelpful, Donny tries to entrap Martha into violating no-contact. However, Martha has been recording all their interactions and he is cautioned by the police. As a result, Teri breaks up with him.


The day before Donny is set to perform in the comedy competition finals, Martha returns to Donny's pub to harass him. When he brings up her previous stalking charges she attacks him, smashing a glass into his face. His coworkers convince Donny not to press charges, which would reveal their mismanagement of the pub, and he complies. At the competition, Donny gives up on his act after a joke doesn't land, and instead breaks down onstage, confessing in frank detail his guilt, shame and self-hatred after his rape, stalking, and his poor management of his relationship with Teri to the audience before walking out of the theater.

|ShortSummary = A video of Donny's confession goes viral, earning him a significant boost in his career. He thoughtlessly sets an out of office message on his email that includes his phone number, leading to Martha gaining access to his phone for the first time. She calls him and threatens to tell his parents about his rape and sexuality. Hoping to pre-empt her, he travels to [[Scotland]] and tells his parents everything. His father confesses that he too was sexually abused, and Donny spends a comforting week with his family.

Martha begins calling Donny obsessively, leaving him hundreds of voicemails. The police suggest he listen to the voicemails and report any threats. Over months, his habit of listening to Martha's voicemails becomes an obsession as he once again begins to pity her and catalogs her messages. However, after she threatens to stab his parents, he finally reports her and she is arrested. Martha is sentenced to nine months in prison and five years of probation. Donny never sees her again.

Donny struggles to adjust in a world without Martha's constant presence, shuts himself away at home, and continues building a sequence of events of his relationship with Martha. His roommates call Keeley, who, worried for his mental health, asks him to move back to Liz's house. As he moves back in, he finds the screenplay he was writing for Darrien. In an attempt at closure, he goes to Darrien's apartment, but instead of confronting him, politely chats with him. Darrien, who has seen Donny's video, offers him a writing job. Donny accepts, but has a panic attack after leaving. Stopping at a pub, he listens to a voicemail where Martha explains why she calls him "Baby Reindeer": it is because he reminds her of a stuffed animal she would hug when her parents would fight, the only positive memory from her childhood. Donny begins to cry, gets his drink, and realizes he has forgotten his wallet. The barman, feeling sorry for Donny, gives him the drink on the house, in a mirror of Donny's first encounter with Martha.

After six months, Donny attempts to report Martha to the police. When the officer asks him why it took him so long to report her, he flashes back to a few years earlier. As a young comedian he has a chance encounter with Darrien, the writer of a successful television show, who has worked with Donny's comedy idols. Darrien mentors him and encourages him to move to London, before suddenly disappearing from his life.

Donny moves to London and attends drama school, where he meets and moves in with Keeley. He gets a call from Darrien and begins writing a television pilot under his guidance. Darrien encourages Donny to do drugs and sexually assaults him while he is high. Not realising Darrien is grooming him, Donny spends regular weekend-long drug-fueled "working sessions" at Darrien's apartment, impacting his relationship with Keeley. During these drug binges, Donny blacks out and is assaulted by Darrien, culminating in Darrien raping him while he is on LSD and GHB. Donny finally leaves Darrien but his relationship with Keeley breaks down. He realizes that he is attracted to men but associates his feelings with his assault and feels shame, beginning a period of unsafe sex with a variety of partners. In the present, due to his guilt over Darrien's assault and never reporting him, Donny fails to give the police an accurate reporting of Martha's stalking.

Martha is banned from Donny's pub after causing a scene while he is working. After she assaults Keeley on the street, Liz asks Donny to move out. He moves into a new flat with friends from drama school, but is dismayed to learn that they spend every night throwing drug-fueled parties. He spends increasing time with Teri, hiding in her flat and coming out to her as bisexual for the first time. Their relationship begins to suffer due to her trauma over Martha's attack and his inability to maintain an erection, caused by his trauma from Martha and Darrien. Teri convinces him to report Martha again. At the station, he finally gets an officer to look up Martha; after realizing she has prior convictions, the police take the case seriously.

Martha complies with the police, and ceases contact with Donny. However, he finds himself obsessing over her and even masturbating to her image. This helps him successfully have sex with Teri, and their relationship improves. His mother leaves a frantic voicemail, having been told by Martha that Donny is in the hospital after an accident.

Donny is horrified to realise Martha has begun harassing his parents and has accused his father of being a pedophile, getting him in trouble at work. After the police are unhelpful, Donny tries to entrap Martha into violating no-contact. However, Martha has been recording all their interactions and he is cautioned by the police. As a result, Teri breaks up with him.

The day before Donny is set to perform in the comedy competition finals, Martha returns to Donny's pub to harass him. When he brings up her previous stalking charges she attacks him, smashing a glass into his face. His coworkers convince Donny not to press charges, which would reveal their mismanagement of the pub, and he complies. At the competition, Donny gives up on his act after a joke doesn't land, and instead breaks down onstage, confessing in frank detail his guilt, shame and self-hatred after his rape, stalking, and his poor management of his relationship with Teri to the audience before walking out of the theater.


NOTE: The episode is dedicated in memory of Llewellyn Harrison, a key grip who worked on Baby Reindeer.[4]

A video of Donny's confession goes viral, earning him a significant boost in his career. He thoughtlessly sets an out of office message on his email that includes his phone number, leading to Martha gaining access to his phone for the first time. She calls him and threatens to tell his parents about his rape and sexuality. Hoping to pre-empt her, he travels to Scotland and tells his parents everything. His father confesses that he too was sexually abused, and Donny spends a comforting week with his family.

Martha begins calling Donny obsessively, leaving him hundreds of voicemails. The police suggest he listen to the voicemails and report any threats. Over months, his habit of listening to Martha's voicemails becomes an obsession as he once again begins to pity her and catalogs her messages. However, after she threatens to stab his parents, he finally reports her and she is arrested. Martha is sentenced to nine months in prison and five years of probation. Donny never sees her again.

Donny struggles to adjust in a world without Martha's constant presence, shuts himself away at home, and continues building a sequence of events of his relationship with Martha. His roommates call Keeley, who, worried for his mental health, asks him to move back to Liz's house. As he moves back in, he finds the screenplay he was writing for Darrien. In an attempt at closure, he goes to Darrien's apartment, but instead of confronting him, politely chats with him. Darrien, who has seen Donny's video, offers him a writing job. Donny accepts, but has a panic attack after leaving. Stopping at a pub, he listens to a voicemail where Martha explains why she calls him "Baby Reindeer": it is because he reminds her of a stuffed animal she would hug when her parents would fight, the only positive memory from her childhood. Donny begins to cry, gets his drink, and realizes he has forgotten his wallet. The barman, feeling sorry for Donny, gives him the drink on the house, in a mirror of Donny's first encounter with Martha.

Harry Brocklehurst of The Tab, describing the show as "darkly funny, deeply unsettling and very moving", criticised fans of the show, branding them "vile", for attempting to expose the real woman based on "Martha" after speculating which social media accounts might belong to the real person.[12] After further theories about the real-life inspirations for the show's fictional characters emerged online, Gadd, in a statement made in April 2024, asked fans of the show to stop any kind of speculation.[13] After being falsely accused to be the real-life counterpart to the character Darrien, theater director Sean Foley contacted police.[14] Foley reported the false allegations, which led to a police investigation.[14] Gadd confirmed that Foley was not behind the character Darrien.[13]
