“Please, Carol”

Carol goes on the offensive in an attempt to discover what chance she has on finding a way to reverse the Joining. She comes up with a plan to inject Zosia with a truth serum (via heroin) but Zosia goes into cardiac arrest, which is where the episode ended.

This gives Carol the start of her investigation into what exactly is going on with the earthlings and their new hive mind.

Carol lists the things she knows on the board:

1. Eager to please—would give me A BOMB?!
2. Can’t kill, not a fly
3. Don’t play faves, like all jerks same
4. ***Trying to change me!***
5. Weirdly honest?

Very funny. A little creepy.

The cold open of the episode returned us to the phone call Carol made on the airplane to the man in Paraguay. His name is Manousos and we get the conversation from his POV this time. I figured that character would return to the show and he is back just a couple of episodes later. He is fairly bizarre as he was licking the lids of pet food cans for remnants of remaining food. The cold open was mostly dialogue free and was just wild. He wrote down Carol’s name at the end of the scene so he is clearly on his way, one way or another.

This was a fun episode, though Carol’s desperation really has placed Zosia in jeopardy a couple of times.
