Pluribus star Rhea Seehorn has reacted to the finale’s closing moments, which see Carol make a destructive decision that could have far-reaching consequences in the second season.<\/p>\n
Spoilers for the Pluribus season 1 ending<\/a> follow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Carol, it’s fair to say, is in a foul mood in the final few minutes of Pluribus’ first season. Understandably so, with the revelation that the eggs she froze years prior to one day start a family with her wife Helen (Miriam Shor) are being co-opted by The Others and used to help Carol join the hivemind without her consent.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n From there, the choice of getting the girl or saving the world (from which the episode title ‘La Chica o El Mundo’ derives its name) becomes clear as Carol enters into an uneasy alliance with Manousos (Carlos-Manuel Vesga).<\/p>\n In one final rug-pull, she even has an atomic bomb delivered to her neighborhood \u2013 something she had joked about way back in the third episode’s similarly explosive ‘Grenade.’<\/p>\n With the image likely to be dissected and discussed until Pluribus season 2 rolls around, we asked Carol actor Rhea Seehorn what her character’s thoughts were at that precise moment. Intriguingly, it’s something that isn’t even apparent to Seehorn.<\/p>\n “I honestly don’t know. I made peace with [that]. Even if Vince [Gilligan] was saying we don’t know where we’re going with it, usually as an actor I would make an intentional decision about what I think Carol’s plan is.”<\/p>\n “Maybe this makes me a horrible actor,” Seehorn laughs. “I honestly think Carol is not sure. I didn’t do it out of laziness. I did it because one of her flaws \u2013 that sometimes is a superpower \u2013 is that she’s so impulsive. She’s just so impulsive and acts before she thinks. I think she knows she’s got to do something big, and I’m not really sure what she’s going to do with it.”<\/p>\n Pluribus is now streaming on Apple TV.<\/p>\n For more, check out our guide to 2026’s new TV shows<\/a>, plus our picks for best Apple TV shows<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pluribus star Rhea Seehorn has reacted to the finale’s closing moments, which see Carol make a destructive decision…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208806,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-208805","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208805\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
