"Things might finally be looking up. In the penultimate episode of Pluribus ' first season, Carol (Rhea Seehorn) actually seems to be happy. That's a pretty big deal for someone the show describes as the "most miserable person on Earth," who also happens to be living through an odd sort of apocalyptic scenario that she is desperately fighting to stop. But what does her change in demeanor mean for the show as it moves toward the finale?"
"The show follows Carol as one of a handful of "survivors" on Earth after a virus of unknown origin turns the rest of the world into an interconnected hive mind. The hive is cheerful, Carol is not, and all kinds of drama follows. Each week, I present a handful of questions from the latest episode to get a conversation started, so feel free to chime away in the comments with your own thoughts, theories, and questions."
In the penultimate episode of Pluribus' first season, Carol (Rhea Seehorn) experiences unexpected happiness despite enduring an apocalyptic scenario. A virus of unknown origin turns most of humanity into an interconnected, cheerful hive mind, leaving Carol among a handful of unassimilated survivors resisting the collective. Carol's newfound optimism contrasts sharply with her established label as 'the most miserable person on Earth' and complicates her desperate campaign to stop the hive. The shift in her demeanor raises questions about her motivations, the hive's influence, and how the finale will resolve the looming conflict.
