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?

    Spoilers for episode 6, but I think just like Manousos rejected his mother, Carol would reject Helen.

    Manousos seemed to imply he wasn’t on good relations with his mother before though. Not quite the same dynamic.

    I think her motivation to save the world is for selfish reasons. She is miserable, others should be miserable too.

    Eh, I don’t think so. I don’t think many people need a reason like that no matter how they are as a person to oppose the hive.
