What to expect from Alien: Earth season 1 episode 3

Episode 3, titled Metamorphosis, will double the tension set up in the first chapters by exposing the hybrids from Prodigy to a new set of threats. Following the destruction of the Maginot and the disastrous encounters with the xenomorph, the surviving crew could potentially return with alien specimens that are not intended to end up in corporate hands.

This evolution will turn the narrative spotlight towards Prodigy's agenda, questioning how extensive its tests are and to what degree Boy Kavalier will continue pursuing his endeavours. For Wendy, the stakes rise as her hybrid nature is pitted against increasing corporate dominance and moral crises associated with containing something as deadly as a xenomorph.

Morrow's obedience and icy pragmatism will also come into play as boundaries are pushed between agency and compliance. Directed by Dana Gonzales and written by Noah Hawley with Bob DeLaurentiis, audiences can look forward to episode 3, building on the series' themes of identity, exploitation, and the danger of unbridled ambition.
