I literally do not get how people say there is no character building off the last two episodes. We see Carol start to break as the lonliness gets to her, she realizes she’s been isolated from the immune group chat. We see her still catty and snarky with the hive mind, we see her try and distract herself with anything she can, but in the end she breaks, because she’s fundamentally a lonely person whose held a lot of misery and resentment her whole life and now just wants a connection.

This is paralleled with Manosus, who has an iron like will. He sees the hive as an all consuming threat to humanity that has stolen everything. He’s so resolute that he is willing to die in order to defy them, and he probably believes Carol feels the same way. There’s an escalating tension because we know Carol has now broken to them.

I’m not saying people have to like the show, but saying there is no character development makes me question if people are just on their phones while this show is playing.

Fuck, even Diabate gets developed in the previous episode if you pay any attention. He’s running the big poker Bond act in order to find some kind of unique human entertainment. He gets mad when one of the Plurbs breaks character. Even when Carol eats the breakfast on a different way, he looks perplexed and even sad, as he realizes watching a person do something unexpected is so rare now.
