Pluribus just leveled up hard with episodes 4 ("Please, Carol") and 5 ("Got Milk"). Episode 4 pulls Carol deeper into morally questionable territory when she drugs Zosia with truth serum to extract intel on reversing the Joining. The Joined can't lie, so Carol exploits that vulnerability without hesitation. It's ruthless, clever, and leaves Zosia collapsing at the end in a gut punch of a cliffhanger. Then episode 5 isolates Carol completely. The Joined abandon her in Albuquerque, leaving her utterly alone in a city buzzing with invisible hivemind chatter. Her investigation into the strange milk substance spirals into full detective mode, and the final reveal under that tarp is one of the creepiest moments of the season.

Vince Gilligan keeps tightening the screws, and Rhea Seehorn is crushing it as Carol navigates loneliness, paranoia, and ethical free fall. The atmosphere is suffocating in the best way, and every episode raises more questions than it answers.
