This week on Screen Queens, we break down episode 2 of Alien: Earth (“Mr. October”), where Sydney Chandler’s Wendy finally reconnects with Alex Lawther’s Hermit, though the reunion feels more unsettling than heartfelt. Essie Davis’s Dame Sylvia schemes from the shadows, Babou Ceesay’s Morrow tests his allegiances, and the Xenomorphs turn a lavish party into a literal bloodbath in a vicious “eat-the-rich” set piece. We spoil it all—the fractured sibling bond, the power plays, and the carnage—because if episode one built tension, this one tears it wide open.
