The finale of Season 1 raises big questions for the characters and the storyline. With Carol and Manousos navigating complex dilemmas, fans are eager to see what happens next.
Carol and the Atom Bomb: What’s Next?
At the end of the finale, Carol has obtained an atom bomb, following a peculiar agreement with the Others. Her motivations for requesting such a dangerous item remain unclear.
Carol initially jested about receiving an atom bomb from the Others, who surprisingly agreed to her hypothetical request. Now, as the audience knows, she’s not just joking. She arrives with a nuclear warhead, setting the stage for potential chaos. What she intends to do with it—whether to use it as a deterrent or a weapon—remains a mystery.
Carol’s Frozen Eggs and the Others’ Ambitions
In Season 1, we learn about Carol’s frozen eggs, a detail that gains weight as the Others express interest in harvesting her stem cells from them.
Initially mentioned lightly, the concept resurfaces when Zosia confirms that the Others do possess Carol’s eggs and intend to use them for bioengineering. Could they turn these eggs into stem cells? If successful, it would pose a significant threat, as Carol has previously expressed her desire to avoid invasive procedures. Here’s what we know so far:
- Frozen eggs could yield stem cells.
- Others aim to use them without Carol’s consent.
- Time is against Carol and Manousos.
Manousos’ Insights and the Others’ Threat
Manousos has been busy figuring out ways to combat the Others, particularly regarding their communication methods.
He discovers a radio frequency that he believes might disrupt the Others’ link to the hivemind. Despite Carol’s lack of interest in his findings, Manousos seems to be on the cusp of a major breakthrough. However, he faces an uphill battle against the rapid advancements of the Others, who are now more efficient than ever at converting humans.
