E Pluribus Unum: A Pluribus Podcast - Episode 6 'HDP'
Season 1 Episode 6
Hello, Carol. This week on E Pluribus Unum, we dive deep into Episode 6 of Pluribus - and by deep, we mean DEEP. This is our longest episode ever, and for good reason. Vince Gilligan dropped a lot on us this week, and we have A LOT to say about it.
EPISODE OVERVIEW
Carol finally gets answers about how The Joined are feeding themselves. The truth is... well, you'll have to watch. We break down every scene, every line, and every implication - including why Eric almost walked away from the show entirely (and how he found his way back).
We also catch up with our friend in Paraguay, and the final twelve minutes of this episode play out like a horror film. Trust us.
WHAT WE COVER
Scene-by-Scene Breakdown
- The Aggregate facility discovery
- Vegas arrival and the James Bond fantasy
- The John Cena video (yes, THAT video)
- A very important bathroom scene
- The horror film conclusion
