Pluribus season 1 ending explained: will [spoiler] join The Others, is season 2 in the works, and more on the new Apple TV show's latest finale

Pluribus episode 9 is out now on Apple TV – and, with it, the hit sci-fi mystery drama's first season has come to a close.

There's a fair amount to unpack from its season 1 finale, too. From that bombshell moment that confirms a recent fan theory about Carol, to whether there'll be a second season and more besides, I'll aim to answer your biggest questions about the Apple TV Original's latest chapter. I'll run through them in the order that they emerge chronologically in episode 9, too, because discussing this entry's earlier questions are necessary to help explain ones that come after.

Full spoilers immediately follow for Pluribus season 1, up to and including its final episode, titled 'La Chica o El Mundo'. Turn back now if you haven't seen it yet.
