Pluribus episode 7 ending explained: what happens to Carol and Manousos in the new Apple TV show?

Pluribus episode 7 has landed on Apple TV – and, while it doesn't reveal anything new about The Others and/or The Joining, it's still a highly significant chapter.

Titled 'The Gap', Pluribus' latest entry splits its time between protagonist Carol and Manousos. I theorized that a team up was on the cards in the wake of Pluribus episode 6 and, despite what happens to them – and, in particular, Manousos – in 'The Gap', I'm even more confident they'll cross paths shortly.

Full spoilers immediately follow for the Apple TV Original's seventh installment. Do not proceed unless you've seen it.
