Carol’s dependence turns into much more apparent when she chooses to buy groceries moderately than have a gourmand breakfast delivered to her entrance door. Given the extra environment friendly (and possibly extra equitable) meals distribution of humanity’s new setup, there’s no have to maintain specialty natural markets like Sprouts open for prosperous best-selling authors like Carol. In truth, delivering home-cooked meals arguably includes fewer brainwashed drones than stocking a complete grocery retailer with meals that may undoubtedly spoil to protect Carol’s phantasm of independence.
And the irony of Carol selecting frozen meals ready by others as a substitute of recent produce and different elements to prepare dinner for herself is misplaced on nobody. Maybe she thought that if she solely visited Sprouts as soon as to refill with sufficient Lean Delicacies to final for months, she might stay in denial that each one of that meals could be rotting on the shelf for her unique profit. No matter her reasoning, Carol’s inside battle is clearly evident as she watches random Albuquerque residents inventory the cabinets. How can one of many final human people on Earth actually be freed from hive thoughts help?
Maybe the reply lies with one other disgruntled immune particular person: the mysterious man from Paraguay. Zosia (Karolina Wydra) confesses that the collective didn’t even uncover his presence till a lot later than the others like Carol, and that admission comes from those that efficiently prioritized remoted people like these on the Worldwide Area Station and in arctic analysis facilities within the earliest a part of their takeover. Would possibly the Paraguay man have been off the grid, or might he maybe not less than have the talents to stay separate from this new unified model of humanity for prolonged durations of time?
We all know from their damaged telephone dialog that Carol and the Paraguay man have one factor in frequent: their surliness. As a result of Carol used her closing alternate with the mysterious stranger to curse him out, it’s attainable that he’ll understand that he has discovered a kindred spirit in his American counterpart. It appears probably that he might be again in contact quickly, and if he’s, maybe he might share the key with Carol to being actually impartial of interference in order that the actual work of saving humanity can start.
