How did it happen in the fake world? Was it just something that was illogically shoehorned in to make her discover the whatever the hell who cares exit place?

There's so many unanswered and nonsensical things going on in this movie.
My guess is that whatever crap she's seeing or experiencing is brought on by the person controlling the simulation. But what would be the point in trying to wake her up and get her attention if that would ruin it? So confused 😕
Too many plotholes

Here's another plothole: why are they struggling to pay bills if she's a surgeon working 30hr shifts??

Right? I think the premise is that she's a smart capable high level career woman and he's a leeching loser, hence him turning all that around in the simulation.

If that's the case, why is she apparently living in squalor with a deadshit who only takes advantage of her? Is it about girl power, or not?

Where they are living in the real world wasn't squalor. In New York an apartment like that would be extremely expensive.

Or she's a resident who just finished med school, paying off a ton of student loans?

I get that the plane crash doesn't make sense, but I really didn't think that with their ages that it was too unrealistic that they weren't rich with her profession.

Likely a glitch she noticed that manifested itself as a plane crash.

Possibly something that Margaret manifested somehow. While this hardly answers the question of how she managed it, the plane is very, very similar to the toy that Margaret's son had (and that Margaret carried). So, I think the connection is there.

SPOILERS

Super-dark thought: did Margaret kill her son? If she found out that she and he were trapped in a fake world, would she murder him to get him out? Seems like her suicide was a way of escape, so she might have done the same for her kid.
