I don't know what hurt Carol more. Zosia revealing that they found a new way to Plurb her, or Zosia saying that she loved Manousos just as much as she loved Carol. Probably the second one. I think Carol could live in a fantasy as long as Zosia loved her uniquely. They probably could have convinced her to willingly join, eventually.
Also Chekhov's atom bomb.
Yeah you could see how crushed Carol was when Zosia dropped that bombshell. No matter how much Carol coached Zosia to say "I" instead of "we," Zosia is still a member of the hivemind and their "relationship" will always reflect that.
I've enjoyed the little piecemeal details we've gotten about Zosia's past so far. I'm really looking forward to meeting the real Zosia. Hopefully next season Manousos' faraday cage pluribus signal jammer can make that happen. I've been wondering about the real Zosia's sexuality and if she'd even still have feelings for Carol without the hivemind's influence.
It would be cool if real Zosia felt disgust at Carol, maybe for having sex with her body, or she would just detest her behaviour. Basically I would like real Zosia to have personality opposite to the "Zosia" persona created for Carol.
Are you kind of assuming the old person is still "in there", like Manuso seems to believe (based on what he said to Rick).
If we took the others at face value, they love the connection they have and would probably be devastated if separated off. The experience of bonding to everyone might take away old preferences and prejudices.
