   Summary

   Picking up where season one leaves off, Carol and Manousos start the harrowing journey of saving the world, navigating their uneasy alliance (and blossoming friendship) while Carol does her best to find out if she or her grief will drown first before the world ends for (potentially) the last and final time.

   Carol's new theory about neurotransmitters, fueled by heartbreak and caffeine, might prove to be the missing element in Manousos' formula for unjoining. However, despite throwing herself into work, The Golden Girls, and her liquor cabinet, Carol can't keep a certain enigmatic brunette chaperone of her mind.

   So, she calls. That's all it is. A simple, friendly phone call in a moment of desperation.
