Apple TV's sci-fi series Pluribus is dropping Episode 5 earlier than planned due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Titled 'Got Milk,' the installment arrives at 9:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 25, ahead of its official Wednesday, November 26 premiere. The episode explores the fallout from previous events, with Carol pushing forward in her investigation amid new dangers.
Episode Details
Pluribus Episode 5, 'Got Milk,' picks up after the emotional developments in Episode 4, where Carol (Rhea Seehorn) took drastic measures by drugging Zosia (Karolina Wydra) to uncover secrets about the Joining. The official synopsis states: “Carol doubles down on her investigation — loneliness be damned. Meanwhile, howls in the night reveal a new source of danger.”
Karolina Wydra, who plays Zosia, discussed the episode's impact in an interview, noting the sense of betrayal felt across the collective. “It’s fascinating because Zosia is the collective. So it’s not just Zosia, it’s the whole world that feels... betrayed,” she said. “It definitely takes time for trust to come around and tread softly to make sure that no one gets hurt.”
Originally scheduled for Friday, November 28, the episode's release was moved up to accommodate the holiday. Apple TV typically drops new content at 9:00 p.m. ET the night before the listed premiere date, allowing eager viewers to stream starting Tuesday evening.
