If you’re looking for a clear end to the story of the Vince Gilligan sci-fi epic Pluribus, the Season 1 finale of the series, “La Chica o El Mundo,” doesn’t quite provide all the answers. The gripping drama, instead, has its finale focus on a much more emotional story, one that leads Carol (Rhea Seehorn) to a massive epiphany, which results in an ending scene that sets up Season 2 for a very different kind of show. Whereas Pluribus’s nine Season 1 episodes represented a slow burn, the last moment of the finale could suggest that Season 2 will be very different.
Here’s why Carol’s final decision was sort of baked into the beginning of the show, and how it will likely lead to a Season 2 version filled with entirely different stakes. Spoilers ahead.
