Has Carol ever flat out asked The Others† to sever their connection? That it would make her happy to return the human race to autonomy? I suddenly don’t recall them ever telling her “No” at any point.
† “The Others” is how Vince & co refer to the hive (ref).
It’s been reinforced through exposition that Pluribus won’t deviate from it’s imperative to join everybody.
(I’m not calling Pluribus “The Others”, primarily because what they should be called is really obvious to me…and because “The Others” refers to to many collectives from sci fi and elsewhere…some of them terrible. F*ck Lost. F*ck that terrible Nicole Kidman movie).
