[ID: Pluribus gifs mixed with excerpts from interviews.
Kusimayu tells Carol, "I want to be with my aunt. I want to be with my cousin." The caption adds, "[No mother figure mentioned]"
interview: "I realized it's kind of like the most patient mom in the world instructing their little infant toddler," Gilligan says. "They might say, 'I hate you, mommy.' But you don't take it seriously. It doesn't hurt your feelings. You know they're just acting out. They're a little kid. They kick you in the shins. It hurts a little, but at a certain point, for their own good, and for yours, maybe you give them a time out. So I think they're just giving Carol a time out. They do it in an over-the- top way: Half a million people leave town. They can't lay hands on her. They would never lock her up. They love her too much. They can't do any of that, and they wouldn't want to if they could. But they can leave, so they do."
interview: [Karolina about Carol]
What I would love that, there was a lot of different things that we talked about, and one of them was being an indulgent mother with Carol. And also the way I would put it is someone that holds space for someone's feelings. And like you would with a kid when they're having a tantrum, you're like, okay, they're having their moments, but I know that once they join us, they're going to know the bliss and the power and the beauty of what we're experiencing.
Carol is talking to Zosia, who is in a hospital bed. Carol says, hands on her hips, "Freedom Falls. You know what that means, don't you? Of course you do. You know everything. Tell me about it. Tell me about Camp fucking Freedom Falls."
Zosia replies, "You were sixteen. Beginning to understand yourself. And your mother, she sent..."
Carol says, "Yeah, go on. What'd she do?"
Zosia says, "She sent you to... a conversion therapy camp in Covington, Tennessee. Camp Freedom Falls. You never forgave her."
interview: [Samba about Koumba]
they called him Mr. Koumba, and I was like "Mr. Koumba? In Mauritania, Koumba is a woman's name." But I did the audition, and once I got the part, I told Vince, "I actually loved that you called him Mr. Koumba, because in my culture, the only way a man takes on a woman's name is if his mother has passed away during childbirth. That informed me very much about who this guy is." If you notice, he does not have family members like the other Originals. He's surrounding himself with supermodels. So I think he came from a place of not having family around him, not having real people that he cares about.
[…]
We kept the name, because I thought it really informed who this guy was: He didn't have a mother figure, he probably didn't have any close family growing up. So of course now that he has this candy store, his desire as a child, he's going to walk in and try to try everything, because finally he can. So that was a beautiful fluke that stuck in a beautiful way.
Koumba sits in a bathtub, looking dismayed as Joette buttons her dress up.
Laxmi shouts at Carol through the phone, "How dare you make my son cry. You do not ever make my son cry again."
Manousos picks up the phone. Carol shouts at him, "¡Chinga tu madre, cabrón!"
Manousos tells a Hive member with his mother's body, "Don't call me son. You're not my mother. My mother's a bitch."
Manousos's car ornament burns. It is a small booklet with an illustration of Mary holding Jesus.
