‘Pluribus’ Star Carlos-Manuel Vesga Breaks Down That Season Finale Betrayal

Carol’s impulsive act of bringing an atom bomb home reflects her isolation and fear, ending Pluribus season one on a cliffhanger that challenges her alliances.

  • In the season one finale of Pluribus, Carol Sturka returns and reveals an atom bomb on her driveway, closing the episode on a striking cliffhanger as events escalate.

  • Pluribus' first season is now streaming on Apple TV, making the finale's unresolved ending widely available to viewers, and critics note the series pairs a cynical lead with romantasy and comforts like The Golden Girls.
