After all these episodes, I can’t help but wonder: what would Carol be like if Helen had survived? Would she have become complacent, like the other immune? Would she still be with Helen, or would she have sent her away and still tried to find the cure?

It seems like Carol’s fight to end the Hive is at least partially driven by Helen’s death. I’m curious about your thoughts: how does someone who was once so miserable—someone who saw others as stupid idiots (clearly, she despised those women who loved her books)—suddenly become determined to save the world? What do you think motivates Carol now?
