What to expect from Alien: Earth season 1 episode 6
In Alien: Earth season 1 episode 5, the plot significantly diverged into the past, unveiling the ghastly events on the USCSS Maginot. The episode retold an act of sabotage on the vessel that resulted in chaos, the crew being attacked by alien beings, and the final crash-landing of the Maginot on Earth's Prodigy territory.
Importantly, it was discovered that a saboteur crew member was responsible for some aspect of the tragedy. The episode ended with increasing peril as alien life forms broke out of containment and forced the members to fight to live.
Progressing to episode 6, The Fly, the timeline returns to contemporary events on Netherland Island. This episode could potentially delve into the perilous and expanding relationship between Wendy and the baby xenomorph that has formed arms and legs but is still not mature, increasing the stakes of control and containment. The emergence of a new, winged alien beast is likely to escalate the threat level, since its mobility would make standard containment tactics useless.
The episode will also see Morrow investigating further into Prodigy's activities and struggling with conflicting loyalties, specifically with the character of Slightly and the T. Ocellus creature. Devastation and brutality ensue within the underground labs, highlighting the growing tension between corporate interests and humanity's survival.
Alien: Earth season 1 episode 6 will be available to stream on Hulu on September 9, 2025.
