A little later this week but we're back with Alien Earth Episode 6 "The Fly". A new creature feeds and a much more familiar creature finally gets it's victim in this excellent episode. We discuss it all in spoiler filled detail on our latest podcast.

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.

We conclude our discussion about the second arc of Season 2 as we discuss The Sandman 206 "Family Blood". A very emotional closer to the arc as Morpheus must grant his son a boon for helping him out.

Episode teleplay by Jim Campolongo

Episode directed by Jamie Childs

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.
