Synopsis:

After Starlight’s recommendation, Marie returns to Godolkin University. After learning that Cate is still alive but in a coma, she works with Emma and Jordan to plan what to do next. 

Sam visits Cate and, using a nurse as an intermediary, Cate mentions Emma's name, before driving the nurse crazy and having her kill another nurse. 

Andre Anderson’s father, Polarity, returns to the university as a professor to discover what happened to his son. Marie also investigates the death of Andre but learns from medical records provided by Dean Cipher that Andre knew using his powers would kill him because of his condition and he did it anyway.

Cipher brings both Marie and Jordan into his special class which will focus their powers. Their first lesson involves fighting their way passed the warrior supe Vikor to push a button. The brawl is no holds barred leading to serious injury for many of the students but working together Jordan and Marie succeed. This helps them reconcile and restart their relationship.

Persuading the librarian and archivist The Rememberer to allow them access, Emma and Polarity investigate Odessa and discover a room with Nazi artifacts and a file that reveals Odessa are babies, all dead except for one. 

On her way to share the information with Jordan and Marie, Emma has a face-to-face with Sam about Cate, but Emma has had enough and tells him he will have to confront and accept all of the bad things he’s done.

On Vought News, Firecracker reveals that Vought have caught the human responsible for Cate’s attack. The Starlighter held responsible and murdered by Dogknot was the same human who helped Marie while she was on the run. As the rest of the campus cheer their victory over the humans, Emma tells Marie that she has learned SHE is Odessa.

Derek and John are back to chat all about the penultimate episode of Alien Earth Episode 7 "Emergence". Everything goes pretty badly at Neverland as Wendy plans to take her leave. We discuss it all in spoiler filled detail on our latest podcast.

Alien Earth Episode 7 "Emergence" Details

Based on Characters created by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett and H.R. Geiger.

Episode Written by Showrunner Noah Hawley and Maria Melnik 

Episode Directed by Dana Gonzales

Spoiler filled synopsis: Things take a dark turn as Smee stumbles upon Slightly hiding Arthur’s unconscious body in his bedroom. In a desperate move, Slightly convinces him to help smuggle Arthur to the beach and deliver him to Morrow. 

Meanwhile, back at the secure laboratory, cleanup crews scramble to contain the chaos left by the flies as Kirsch explains to Boy Kavalier that the chaos was no accident. When Wendy arrives at the lab she becomes outraged that the company is calling Tootles' death an “accident,”.

She recruits Nibs to join her and Joe in making a run for it, but Wendy’s not leaving quietly. Before she goes, she hacks into the system and unleashes the grown Xenomorph from the lab. This monster-sized distraction tears through the cleanup crew, soldiers and the facility, disappearing into the forest.

Out in the wild, Kirsh crosses paths with Slightly and Smee dragging Arthur’s body and, surprisingly, helps them find a faster route to the beach. Then as they hide from patrolling Prodigy soldiers, Arthur wakes up. The facehugger falls off, seemingly dead, and as memories start flooding back, he insists they return. But it’s too late. A newborn Xenomorph erupts from his chest and vanishes into the woods.

The hybrids carry Arthur’s corpse to the beach, where Morrow and a Yutani raid team arrive. Morrow is not happy with slightly... no facehugger, no newborn Xenomorph, just a corpse with a hole in its chest. Morrow takes them captive. 

After Kirsh has revealed to Boy Kavalier that the T. Ocellus was responsible for the lab disaster, the Boy Kavalier becomes excited and very intrigued at the eight legged monster and decides it’s time to give the creature a human host, claiming he has just the person in mind.

Back in the forest, Marcy, Joe, and Nibs are ambushed by the second team of Yutani soldiers. But Marcy pulls off a miracle, using her connection with the grown Xenomorph to turn the tide. The creature wipes out their attackers, but spares the trio. Marcy soothes it, solidifying a chilling bond.

As Morrow and his men push into the facility, they’re met by Kirsh, now in control of the newborn Xenomorph. He flips the script and takes Morrow and his team captive, while Smee and Slightly are grounded!

Marcy, Joe, and Nibs finally reach the boat and freedom appears to be within sight. But Neverland’s security and enforcers show up. As tensions boil over, Nibs snaps and brutally kills a soldier, forcing Joe to take her down. Marcy, stunned by Joe’s sudden ruthlessness, confronts him, all while the Xenomorph watches from the shadows.

GEN V 201 New Year, New U Synopsis:

Months after being placed in captivity in the Elmira Correctional Adult centre, Jordan Li and Emma Shaw are returned to the campus of Godolkin University, aka GodU, just in time for the new semester.

In the wake of Homelander’s new role as head of Supe Security following the death of Victoria Neuman, their records have been expunged and Jordan and Emma are being hailed as the Guardians of Godolkin again.

At God U the two awkwardly reintegrate but have to contend with seeing Kate and Sam, their former friends who helped to incarcerate them at Elmira. 

Nonetheless, the new University head, Cipher, welcomes them back with open arms but he's on the lookout for Marie who has been on the run since she escaped from Elmira.

Following Marie's escape Andre Anderson also tried to escape the facility but died in the attempt. Kate only learns about this after reading Jordan's thoughts and seeks to find out more from Cipher but to no avail.

Elsewhere, trying to dodge the authorities, Marie encounters some of Starlight’s supporters being abused by Homelander fans; she can't help but defend them. But the incident draws out Starlight who tells Marie she must return to God U as it's the only safe place.

The incident leads Jordan and Emma to her location followed by Cate. Cate tries to encourage Marie to return to God U but believing that Cate was going to use her powers to control Marie, Jordan uses their powers to throw her against a wall cracking her skull. As Cate bleeds out on the ground she desperately calls for Emma to save her.

Alien Earth Episode 6 "The Fly" Details

Based on Characters created by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett and H.R. Geiger.

Episode Written by Showrunner Noah Hawley and Lisa Long

Episode Directed by Ugla Hauksdóttir

Spoiler filled synopsis: As the Xenomorph grows, Wendy continues to communicate with it all the time perfecting her technique. Elsewhere in the facility another hybrid, Nibs, undergoes testing, prompting Atom Eins to demand her memory wiped and her stimulation to be reduced, so she is ready to smile at product launch.

Arthur Sylvia refuses as it goes against all the principles of the hybrid programme but his wife Dame Sylvia decides to accept and Arthur is fired under threat of execution if he is not gone from Neverland by the end of the day.

Meanwhile, Boy Kavalier travels with Kirsch and Atom Ens, to meet with Yutani and negotiates with her over the crash of the USCSS Maginot and alien cargo ownership. Boy Kavalier secures billions in damages but is also able to delay the return of the alien specimens due to agreed global quarantine protocol. 

Back at Neverland, Kirsch remotely asks Tootles to look after the laboratory and a mishap in the lab locks Tootles inside the cage of one of the five alien species, the fly, and is killed when they spit acid on his face. 

When Nibs awakes after her mind wipe, Wendy learns she was reprogrammed and confronts Dame Sylvia and reveals she’s beginning to empathise with the Xenomorph alien and question everything around her, including Dame Sylvia.

Under the influence of Morrow, Slightly tries to take Joe to one of the alien eggs, but he is able to avoid this fate when he’s reassigned to the security detail. 

Before leaving, Arthur disables Wendy’s tracker and gives Joe a boat code to help them escape. But when he notices that Tootles’ tracker and camera have gone off, Arthur goes to the lab to investigate.

He enlists Slightly’s help to find the missing hybrid and Slightly takes his opportunity and betrays Arthur, locking him with a facehugger that successfully latches on to his face. All the while Kirsh watches silently on his tablet without informing Boy Kavalier. 

Back in the lab, Slightly hides the body and himself inside the air vent as chaos brews in the lab and the T Ocellus watches on.

Episode teleplay by Jim Campolongo

Synopsis: In a flashback to 1794, Dream approaches Lady Johanna Constantine with a task to retrieve Orpheus' living head from France and bring it back to a temple in Greece where it would be safeguarded by priests. Hunted down by Maximilien Robespierre and his men, Constantine succeeds with the help of Orpheus himself, whose song incites the end to Robespierre's tyranny. After returning Orpheus' head to his temple, Constantine asks Dream for a chance to visit Orpheus. In the present, Dream and Delirium pass her grave near Orpheus' temple. There, Dream reunites with Orpheus and he discloses the location of Destruction. Dream and Delirium approach Destruction who welcomes them gleefully. 

The three discuss Destruction's departure from his duties and his wards which caused the deaths of Wanda, Ishtar and others. He alludes that mortals are capable of great destruction on their own, without the need of him being complicit. Despite Delirium's plea, Destruction bids them farewell, imparts some advice to Dream and gives Barnabas to Delirium to keep her company. With that, he disappears into the sky. Dream and Orpheus reconcile and upon Orpheus' request, Dream kills him, later mourning him in tears. Elsewhere, the Kindly Ones condemn Dream for spilling family blood.

Alien Earth Episode 5 "In Space, No One..." Details

Based on Characters created by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett and H.R. Geiger.

Episode Written and Directed by Showrunner Noah Hawley

Spoiler filled synopsis: In space, the USCSS Maginot is seventeen days from Earth. 

Junior security officer Clem wakes Morrow from cryosleep and tells him there has been a fire in one of the containment rooms. In the commotion two facehuggers have escaped and latched upon the ship's captain Dinsdale and science officer Bronski. 

A failed attempt by medical officer Rahim, to remove the facehugger from Captain Dinsdale's face has led to his death from the facehugger's acidic blood. 

After being told by engineer Shmuel that the ship's navigational systems were also damaged in the fire, Morrow concludes that a crew member is either incompetent or has sabotaged the ship. 

Executive officer Zaveri assumes command of the ship, but Morrow threatens to relieve her if she does not prioritize the creatures above the crew. 

With a facehugger still attached, Bronski is placed in cryo-sleep to prevent the gestation of the Xenomorph, but this fails as the creature continues to grow inside him. 

In science officer Chibuzo's lab, one leech specimen manages to open its test tube from the inside, and lays its larvae in her water bottle. Witnessing this, the Ocellus also escapes after Chibuzo fails to seal its containment vessel. 

Meanwhile, after being called to an emergency meeting in the mess, apprentice engineer Malachite drinks the water, and the larvae cause him to cough up blood 

In the medbay, Malachite along with Chibuzo and Rahim are killed by the leeches' defensive toxic gas and the Maginot’s quarantine procedures when trying to extract the leeches from Malachite. Witnessing this, Zavari is in shock and Morrow relieves her of command. 

After being interrogated by Morrow, creepy navigation officer Teng is killed by the fully-grown Xenomorph. 

Elsewhere onboard, Chief engineer Petrovich is revealed to be behind the sabotage of the Maginot at the order of Boy Kavalier, who promises him a hybrid body and more wealth than he can imagine if the ship crashes in Prodigy territory. Petrovich kills Clem and is in turn killed by Morrow, who retreats to the control room and seals himself in. 

Zaveri is killed by the Xenomorph outside the control room door. With everyone dead, Morrow locks himself in the impact room and awaits the crash. 

Back in the present, Morrow meets with Yutani, reiterating his promise to retrieve the specimens by force and kill Boy Kavalier.

Alien Earth Episode 4 "Observation" Details

Based on Characters created by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett and H.R. Geiger.

Episode Written by Showrunner Noah Hawley and Bobak Esfarjani

Episode Directed by Ugla Hauksdóttir

Spoiler filled synopsis: Wendy wakes up with her hearing disabled, after she collapsed in the laboratory from the intense sound from the Alien embryo. Arthur adjusts her hearing so that she is able to hear the Xenomorph eggs without it being painful and Boy Kavalier asks Wendy to replicate the sounds and she is able to speak the language of the Xenomorphs in a frequency audible to humans. 

Kirsh and Tootles test Trypanohyncha Ocellus (an octopus-like creature) on a sheep, and it implants itself in the sheep's brain. The parasitically-controlled sheep stands up on its hind legs, and focuses its attention on Kirsch who remarks that the creature is highly intelligent. Feeling left out Boy Kavalier insists the creature focuses on him!

Meanwhile Morrow continues to communicate with Slightly and pressures him into revealing his real name as a sign of trust. Morrow convinces Slightly to steal back the Xenomorph eggs, but after trying Slightly contacts Morrow and tells him that it isn't possible to steal the eggs because there is too much security. Morrow pressures Slightly, threatening the safety of his family, who he has tracked down using Slightly's real name. He then directs Slightly to find a human and take them to the eggs so they can be infected by a facehugger. It is revealed that Kirsh is listening to their conversations.

Elsewhere at the Neverland compound Nibs claims she is pregnant, and when Dame Sylvia tries to make her talk about the rescue mission, Nibs becomes violent and is eventually put under house arrest, unbeknownst to her. 

Hermit, now up and about and in recovery after his lung transplant, has become jaded after seeing how Wendy is treated more as an experimental prototype than a person. He attempts to quit Prodigy and leave his position, only for Atom Eins to tell him that if he did, he would be sent a large bill for his new lung and never see Wendy again. 

Later that night, Wendy observes the Xenomorph-infected lung. As she speaks in the clicks and chirps of the Alien language the Xenomorph suddenly bursts out from Hermit’s old lung. As Wendy appears to placate the young Xenomorph seemingly comfortable to watch and touch the Xenomorph, Kirsh watches on.

John and Derek take a deep dive into Alien Earth Episode 3 "Metamorphosis" another excellent episode, really tense and brilliantly performed. We discuss it all in spoiler filled detail.

Alien Earth Episode 3 "Metamorphosis" Details

Based on Characters created by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett and H.R. Geiger.

Episode Written by Showrunner Noah Hawley and Robert De Laurentis

Episode Directed by Dana Gonzales

Spoiler filled synopsis: At the crash site in New Siam, Nibs begins to question her purpose, asking Curly why the hybrids are all named after Peter Pan characters and why Marcy gets to be Wendy. 

Boy Kavalier orders the specimens be brought to Neverland Island for study, despite objections from Kirsh and Dame Sylvia. 

Morrow finds Smee and Slightly guarding the Xenomorph eggs and interrogates them, suspicious of their childlike behavior. He downloads the specimen data from the Maginot and plants a device on Slightly before escaping a hatching xenomorph egg and Kirsch. 

Meanwhile, Wendy finds her brother and is forced to fight the Xenomorph after it has laid a trap using Hermit as bait. Wendy stops it from killing Hermit with a meat hook, and instead she kills it but sustains serious injuries along with her brother. 

Returning to the island, Hermit undergoes surgery and the Sylvias tend to Wendy. Elsewhere, on the loose having escaped into New Siam, Morrow calls Yutani, and insists on retrieving the specimens despite being ordered to return home.  

Boy Kavalier inspects the specimens a little too closely until Kirsh removes him for his own protection. While his advisor, Atom Eins, questions Smee and Slightly about their encounter with Morrow. 

Later, unknown to anyone else, Morrow contacts Slightly via the device he embedded in him during their first meeting. He convinces Slightly to be his friend. 

Meanwhile Curly confronts Kavalier about his favoritism towards Wendy, believing herself to be the best hybrid. 

Kirsh, Tootles, and Curly dissect a facehugger and introduce its larvae to Hermit's lung, removed during surgery. 

Wendy awakes, seemingly intercepting signals from the Xenomorph eggs which cause her pain. She ultimately collapses in the laboratory containing the eggs.
