Considering how the last episode ended, things have got a little crazy. Kirsh seems to be "plotting" something, Morrow is sinister as hell, the octopus eye alien is WILD! The whole sheep situation could not be any more disturbing, but most of all, the snake charming at the end is where we ask, "What is happening?" It is one thing for the hybrids to believe they are human, or at least some of them, one of the hybrids to think, "well it happened to Mary, it could happen to me, and in fact, it has", another thing for Morrow to be IN THE HEAD of little boy Slightly, but to have Boy Kavalier try to come between the Hermit and Wendy and the sister being able to charm the snake, this show has stepped up the levels and although there isn't always a lot of action, what we do get is beyond great, especially the use of orifices. The Alien franchise never disappoints when it comes to an alien getting into a human.
And just when you thought we would pick up from the last episode, this episode throws us into the ship we saw in the first episode, where we get to spend more time with these characters and what happened, leaving Morrow to seal himself inside the control room. For how Morrow has been acting throughout these past episodes, this episode gives us some of his backstory, in which I feel humanises him. He had a child, and he was only on the ship as chief security officer, and he just wanted to do his job, but when you are surrounded by imbeciles and a person who decided to take the ship into their own hands under a promise that may not even happen, Morrow is pushed to make challenging decisions. However, with all the engineers, biologists and others on the ship who wind up getting picked off, one-by-one, by making human mistakes off the back of dumb ones anyway, it is not just the Xenomorph loose running rampant on the ship when the testing of these aliens go wrong, it's a combination of a lot of things, but having a Xenomorph loose defintely does not help.
