Good story but full of plot holes
1) How do they hire Sue, she is a woman without any documents at all
2) How can a person consume the substance and disappear every 7 days? Do they not work? Do they not have family or friends who don't realize this?
3) What happened to the maid who comes to clean Elisabeth's house?
4) How did no one notice the smell coming out from the secret bathroom door with Elizabeth practically rotten, along with remains of bodily fluids in those 3 months?
5) Why did Sue not suffer the consequences in her body during those 3 months??
6) Why does Demi More look like Glen Close when they put old woman makeup on her?
7) Incisors do not have double roots

Suspension of disbelief. (lmao)

Good questions in all honesty.

The biggest plot hole is how Elizabeth knows exactly where to stick the syringes and IV kits to inject or extract stuff without it being ever explicitly explained by the "official instructions".

Since the activator is one-use only, why did the company include enough for two uses? Everything else seemed to be measured out quite precisely.

Yeah! That was weird as well! She didn't use all of it!

Yeah that was bad. The bottle having some dregs in it would have been enough to advance the story.

Let’s not forget why the treatment is free. What’s in it for the people that run the program? That makes zero sense

I thought there was going to be a twist where the "other selves" were aliens or something.
