    Ok, creators of this show really like to torture us: THE SAME PLURBIN VOICEMAIL THREE TIMES IN A ROW!

    I don’t find obvious product placement to be an issue there, it adds realism. It’s the same case as in Like a Dragon video game series.

    Manousos has amazing mental fortitude, but he’s still just a human and not truly independent. Maybe his rescue will make him change his mind a bit. He may sway Carol to return to her rebellious streak, as she has currently given up.

      The voicemail is all Carol has. The rest of the world won’t listen to Carol, but the voicemail and in turn the hive will.

      It also shows that Carol has infinite time. She doesn’t need or want to speed up the voicemail.

        The way I see it, her not asking them to change the voicemail is Carol being defiant in her own way
