Pluribus episode 4 dropped on 21 November 2025, following its weekly release schedule. It opens with showing Manousos, the drug-immune person in Paraguay whom Carol had contacted in the previous episode. Manousos is living a secluded life in isolation, keeping his gates shut. He is running low on supplies and is eating some leftover food. Suddenly, he is interrupted by a phone call.This is the same phone call we see Carol doing in the previous episode. Manousos hung up on her for the first two times, and the third time, when he picked up, he listened to Carol abusing him. That is when he realizes that Carol is just like him. He comes back to his table, opens his small diary, and writes,"Carol es Turca?"This highlights the language barrier between the two. Carol's last name is Sturka, and Manousos might mistake it as es Turca, as it sounds a lot similar. Es Turca in Spanish means "Is Turkish". This also suggests that he may be questioning himself and now would try to find out more about Carol.Pluribus Episode 4: Why does Manousos write "es Turca"?Comment byu/Justp1ayin from discussion intvPlusPluribus episode 4 opens by introducing the Paraguay person, who is also immune to the drug. Zosia, in the previous episode, had told Carol that they were finding it difficult to speak to this man as he was too reluctant. Carol identifies a similarity and tells Zosia to connect her to him. They try calling him from the plane, while Carol's call gets hung up abruptly twice, and the third time, he outrageously abuses the man on the other side.In episode 4 of Pluribus, we see the other side of this scene. The Paraguayan man is living an isolated life with his door chained from all sides. He keeps trying to tune into radio signals, suggesting he’s still looking for other non-hive people. He sees someone close to his main gate, and it's a lady in the car dropping off something at his door. When she leaves, he goes there only to realize it is a plate full of his favourite meal. However, just like what Carol did earlier, Manousos throws the food and walks inside.He is running low on supplies and eats whatever is left in the house. His telephone rings, which annoys him as he thinks it's them checking up on him. When it rang for the second time, he hung up the phone, abusing Carol. When Carol again calls him back, Manousos picks up only to listen to a furious reply from her. This leaves him surprised, and he returns to his diary, attempting to write Carol's name.Pluribus Episode 4: Why does Manousos write "es Turca"? (Image Via Apple TV)He writes,Carol es Turca?This shows how he cannot understand much English, highlighting the language barrier between the characters. Carol's response was enough for him to understand she is just like him, someone in the United States who is also immune to the virus. Manousos was trying to write down Carol's name he had heard on the phone earlier. Her last name is Sturka, to which he writes as "es Turca", which in Spanish means "is Turkish". The question mark at the end suggests he might be asking this to himself, and will be investigating to find answers.The scene establishes that Carol is not alone in this quest to reverse the effect of the virus. There might be someone on the other side of the world, and now his note sparks that he might try to reach out to Carol, and they together could achieve the impossible in Pluribus. At the end of Episode 4 in Pluribus, we see that Carol finds out how the infected people cannot lie. She sees an opportunity and attempts to drug Zosia to ask her how she can reverse the "joining". This puts her in another difficult situation, making Zosia cry and suffering a cardiac arrest, while the entire community begs Carol to stop.
