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.
