Alien: Earth Season 1 has finally arrived with the first two episodes on August 13, 2025. The television series takes place in a world that has gotten hotter and wetter. Five major corporate organizations dominate the World. These are Prodigy, Threshold, Lynch, Dynamic, and Weyland-Yutani. AI has also taken over the world, and due to this, cyborgs are born. The main protagonist of Alien: Earth, Wendy, is a synthetic entity with a human-like consciousness. The television series has given us a plethora of things to discuss, but here, we have chosen to focus on the events that unfold at the end of Episode 2 of Alien: Earth.
The Birth of Synthetics
At the start of Alien: Earth, we meet a little girl named Marcy, who is dying with each passing day. So, the Prodigy corporation, led by Boy Kavalier, decides to transfer her consciousness to a synthetic body that will make her Immortal. To be honest, the corporation wanted to test what Immortality looks like. The young girl, before getting her consciousness transferred, named the synthetic body Wendy. She ended up becoming the first subject, and later on, she was given the task to guide more children who would want to transfer their consciousness into an adult body.
From the very beginning, there’s a conversation about the Synthetics, whether they are humans or not. But the fact that Wendy was watching her brother every day proved that she had human emotions.
Alien’s Arrival on Earth
The Weyland-Yutani spacecraft was carrying the alien specimens for the trillionaire corporation. In the beginning, everything seems fine, but there were some hints that these aliens are about to break out from their cages, and that’s what happens. These aliens not only kill every staff member, but also led the ship to crash land on Earth.
The worst part? The ship crashed in the heart of the Prodigy city, where Wendy’s brother Joe was stationed. This also means that these Aliens will wreak havoc on Earth. Now, on one hand, we have Morrow, the cyborg, trying to secure the alien specimen for Weyland-Yutani. At the same time, we have Boy Kavalier, who wants to use these aliens for his own purposes.
Morrow Saves Joe by Neutralizing the Xenomorph
Joe, along with a fellow soldier, investigates the crashed Maginot spacecraft. The duo couldn’t see the camouflaged alien standing near them. However, when Joe watched the huge thing moving behind the other soldier, he tried to alert him, but it was too late to make a move.
Xenomorph killed the soldier most brutally and then headed towards the room with a bunch of people. When Joe entered the room and was about to be nearly killed by the Xenomorph, Morrow, the cyborg of Weyland-Yutani, showed up and rendered the creature unconscious with an electric gun. He then knocks Joe with the same gun and leaves him behind.
Wendy Reunites with Joe
Wendy was born as Marcy, who had a brother named Joe. So, after watching him on screen one day and learning that he is a medic for Prodigy, she decides to keep an eye on him. Kirsh instructs her and the other hybrids to examine the Maginot crash site. That’s when she comes across Joe, who is recalling the days with his late father after laying eyes on a baseball signed by Reggie Jackson.
Kirsh calls Wendy and asks her to secure the cargo that is in the front section of the ship. Before leaving, she asks Joe if he would like to join, as he might be able to help the wounded people there. Joe agrees, and on the way, Slightly tells him that Wendy is his sister, whom he believes is dead. After reaching the front section, the brother-sister duo hug each other after conversing for a bit. However, before setting things right, the episode showed the Xenomorph striking again and taking Joe down.
