💰 Karnataka’s Rs 518 Cr Startup Bonanza: AI, Blockchain & Quantum Shenanigans! 🚀

In a move that left both entrepreneurs and stray dogs equally excited, Karnataka has decided to cement its reputation as India’s innovation hub-or, as some might call it, the place where dreams go to get stuck in traffic.

Pluribus Recap: Peace on Earth

The episode begins with a strange, attention-grabbing scene – a cold open – that, while not as mysterious as those in shows like Better Call Saul or Breaking Bad, immediately introduces us to a completely new situation and characters. It’s similar to the “Madrigal” episode of Breaking Bad, which starts with a German executive casually eating chicken tenders. In this case, we see an unidentified woman in a rough robe walking towards a wrecked car in a Middle Eastern city. She pulls out a burned body from the driver’s seat and drags it through a window. With the help of a truck driver, she wraps up the body and hauls it to a bus where others are being collected. She then drives a moped to the airport, gets into the cockpit of a cargo plane, and flies it to Albuquerque. There, she’s greeted by assistants who have coffee, a shower, and a new identity waiting for her.

Elsbeth Recap: Iambic What-ameter?

Elsbeth encounters Alec (Ivan Hernandez) at a charity event – Dr. Yablonski, a recurring character in the show, is always nearby. Alec, who is running for mayor, initially appears as a charismatic leader focused on bringing people together, reminiscent of politician Zohran Mamdani. He emphasizes affordable living, shares his experience with childhood homelessness, and highlights his background as a fire marshal before entering politics. He’s friendly and approachable, making a connection with everyone he meets. Elsbeth is both impressed and cautious. They bond over a shared love for New York City, even enjoying its more touristy attractions like hip-hop bus tours and restaurants with singing waiters – they even sing the beginning of the song “Manhattan” together! However, Elsbeth rightfully wonders if Alec’s down-to-earth personality is genuine or simply a calculated political tactic, questioning whether he’s being disingenuous like Bill Clinton.
