Pluribus continues Carol's journey in this series to understand and navigate a post-apocalyptic world. However, unlike post-apocalyptic dramas like The Last of Us and The Walking Dead, the Apple TV Vince Gilligan sci-fi drama is set in a world where most of the population is taken over by a virus that turns people into part of the hive mind.The third episode, "Grenade", further continues to intrigue viewers about the hive mind virus. That's because they seem kind and nice, despite some strange behaviour. What makes Pluribus special is that it paints Carol as the mean-spirited one to the nicer hive-minded Zosia. In the third act of the episode, she pulls the pin on a grenade, expecting it to be a fake, but it turns out it wasn't.Zosia saves Carol's life by throwing the live grenade outside, but she is injured in the explosion. Carol takes her to the hospital, where Zosia's condition stabilizes, but Carol learns something from an encounter with another hive-minded individual.Carol learns that hive-minded people want to please her in Pluribus Episode 3 GrenadeAfter Zosia is stabilized in the hospital, a DHL representative who works there assures Carol that her hive companion is out of danger. In this conversation, Carol further learns that the hive-minded people would do anything to make Carol feel happy. It is worth noting that they are still trying to determine why she and a handful of others are immune to the virus.They want to attract Carol to the hive-minded way of life, which is why they are accommodating of Carol's needs. In the closing minutes of this Pluribus episode, Carol learns that she can demand a nuke (either sarcastically or sincerely) from the hive people, and she'll get them.As of now, it is unclear where Pluribus is heading View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThree episodes and two weeks in, it is unclear what this new Apple TV is about or where it is heading, which only adds to viewers' curiosity. Like Vince Gilligan's other iconic shows, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. The Apple TV sci-fi series, for now, has painted the hive people as an idyllic, kind, and cooperative community.It is Carol who is stuck to her old ways of individualism, who has killed several hive-minded people with her emotional breakdowns. But there are still questions that we need to know about the hive-minded people. On the surface, it appears the hive mind's consciousness is linked 24/7. However, it is unclear how this works, as of now.While Carol expresses a desire to cure the people infected with the hive virus in the second episode, several fan theories suggest the virus may not survive without a host. Many believe that the people who have turned can't be brought back, which is why the ones who couldn't accommodate the virus, like Carol's romantic partner, Helen, died in the premiere episode.Three episodes of the series are currently streaming on Apple TV.
