In a village far away, the Hive Mind ghosts goats, while in Albuquerque, Carol ghosts Manousos! Carol pulls a Rick Steves and travels around the world to arrive right back where she started: and (shocker) Carol's #NotHappy about it!   We debate if the series could've been rearranged into a more interesting puzzle + we talk what we NEED to see in Season 2!

Charm Offensive season 1 episode 8 s1e8 s01e08 s1e08 Carol takes a different tack with the Others and discovers more than she anticipated. Manousos awakens in unfamiliar surroundings. 
Christmas CAROLs sing-along:
All I want for Christmas is my ice-cold Gatorade,
My own grenade,
My Sprouts re-made!
All I want for Christmas is a way to reverse it,
Then I could wish you "Fine. Good Riddance. F- You!."
Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the hive is so delightful
Since there's nothing we don't know
Let it go, let it go, let it go – CAROL!
We aren't showing signs of stopping
Our numbers are only slightly dropping
Unless you want to be solo
Let it go, let it go, let it go – CAROL!
Will you stop being so uptight?
This is now what we call the norm
Why don't you give up the fight
And we can help you transform
It will stop you from all this crying
And you'll lose your fear of dying
We swear it's not a death blow
Let it go, let it go, let it goooooo – CAROL!
Here comes Manousos, here comes Manousos, right up the Darien Gap
They'll offer him water and a ride, yet he ain't taking their crap
He'll face peril, to reach Carol, all is scary and blight
He got real sick, on a Chunga Palm stick, and Manousos went night-night
I'm dreaming of some hot ladies
And my picture on each wall
Where the party's hopping and
The chicks are sopping
And everyone is at my beck and call
I'm dreaming of some hot ladies
And a royal straight flush
Where no one's minding
My hot tub grinding
With the whole cleaning staff
I'm dreaming of some hot ladies
And a ride on air force one
It's the mile high club
With 8 billion in one
They all say I'm super fun
May your days be merry and bright
And may little Koumma stay upright

Carol spends 40 days in the wilderness, and decides to take up painting! + Manousos goes analog-style on Rosetta Stone! The Fireworks Factory is in the neighborhood and like the Talking Heads sang is 'Burning Down the House.' And we ask the 'Big Question': Is Carol now more appreciative of others in a way she wouldn't have been if the HIVE MIND had never taken over?
