Pluribus: Why Helen Died May Actually Be Because of Carol

A key goal of this episode was to make viewers sympathize with Carol, the grumpy fantasy author played by Rhea Seehorn. She becomes the main character through which the show tells its mysterious, *X-Filesstyle story, as she’s one of the few people unaffected by the virus that makes everyone happy. However, her storyline begins with a difficult moment: the show’s creators quickly kill off her partner, Helen, right when their relationship is starting to develop.
