• When I (carol) am in the, "who is the most mentally unwell and unhappy individual on earth" and my opponent is Manousos
• I'm glad I knew enough about latam geography and migration corridors to know that nobody gets past the jungle to Panama so I was patiently waiting for him to get folded and taken in by the pluribus. The cinematography and sound design was a treat to go through and I'll probably revisit that part of the episode just for the vibes. Really unwise of Manousos to not take a boat but I guess he didn't have enough money for it and spent it all on paying nobody for gas (and then destroyed the car that he could've used to "trade" for the boat). But like what to expect from a tipo from paraguay?
• Carol still an unhappy traumatized alcoholic queer woman as ever. But now she's basically been stripped away from any belief she can live without the plurb. It'll be interesting to see Carol go through a reversal of her ideals from the beginning of the pluribus event to now (it hasn't even been like 2 weeks right?)
• Also, based on the last episode, if the pluribus have discovered a way to bypass the immunity via stem cells, that must mean that some of the unaffected have willingly joined the plurb? I feel like this show isn't a multi-season thing then since it seems like it should be wrapping up.
• I also agree with @thefunkycomitatus@hexbear.net that Manousos will probably be the villain or antagonist figure since it's chekov gunned' that the unaffected can still hurt each other and there's not much the plurb can do to stop it. I wonder if Manousos figures out that he can disable the plurb through outbursts and just keeps doing that to one plurb'd node and Carol would have to stop him. If this plot ends up happening I'd be disappointed because I just came up with it in 30 seconds.
