Really enjoyed this episode.

Starting with the self storage man, it was great to see how he's been behaving and his interaction with Carol.

Something I do wonder is that it was previously stated he wasn't initially known about, but was discovered some time later. He doesn't really appear to be in hiding. He's in a fairly public location. He probably saw a few people at some point over the few days before the hive mind activated, but when they all joined they didn't notice his absence. So what happened that alerted them?

The story of Carol going to "camp" was so well told and I think a great way to look at her forced hive mind conversation. I do wish the other solo people were around because I think that would make for an interesting conversation, especially for those that want to join the hive. Do they just want to "fit in"?

Also Carol drugging Zosia is such a dark path to go down. I'm guessing Zosia lives, but a direct death by Carol would be interesting to play out. She knows she's killed millions, and that weighed on her heavily, but what will an (in)direct murder do for her?

Air Force One guy talked about the world being at peace. What if those not yet part of the hive start fighting each other? Can the hive mind do anything to stop it?

They may have assumed he was amongst the dead until they discovered him hiding in his building.
