Pluribus episode 6 sees a mortified Carol make two new big discoveries about The Others – and finally teases the team-up we've been waiting for

Episode 6 reveals The Others rely on human-derived protein from frozen corpses and cannot infect immune humans without consent, highlighting their starvation risk within a vast hive mind.

  • On December 5, 2025, Episode 6, 'HDP,' confirms Carol Sturka found shrink-wrapped human remains and meat grinders in a cold-storage warehouse in Albuquerque, while a John Cena cameo explains the Others' use of Human Derived Protein.
  • Because the infection bars them from harming living things, the Others rely on windfalls and stockpiles to feed 7,348,292,411 humans, supplementing diets with Human Derived Protein.
  • Several 300-calorie cartons contain eight to 12 percent Human Derived Protein, produced by chopping, vacuum-sealing, freezing shrink-wrapped corpses, then grinding and mixing them in meat grinders and cooking vats.
  • Survivors face mass starvation within ten years despite HDP, while the Others cannot infect resistant humans without consent due to their need for individual stem cells, Koumba warns.
  • With three episodes left this season on Apple TV, the episode's blend of macabre cannibalism and Las Vegas/LARP surrealism highlights ethical debate about humanity.
