Pluribus episode 7 includes one important reveal you probably missed

Until the very end of Pluribus episode 7, “The Gap,” very little of the action on-screen seems crucial to the show’s overall plot. Compared to the density of some previous episodes, where revelations piled up with almost dizzying speed, “The Gap” feels sleepy and hypnotic — a deep-breath relief after the occasional terrors of the previous six installments. Series protagonist Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn) drives around Albuquerque, sings some songs, and entertains herself. Manousos Oviedo (Carlos-Manuel Vesga) travels north, amid stunning landscapes. There are a lot of small incidents along the way for both of them, but almost nothing that significantly affects the story.
