‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 4 Review - Things are Evolving Fast

So, as we all know, Wendy was injured while fighting Xenomorphs in order to protect her brother, as per the last episode. And when she wakes up, she realizes that she can now hear Xenomorph’s sounds. What’s even more interesting is that she can even reproduce those sounds. Boy is intrigued by Wendy's newfound ability and subjects her to multiple tests to find out more about her. Wendy’s brother Joe wishes to be near her, but Boy subjects him to many conditions in order to fulfill this wish if his. For example, Joe must carry on his assigned tasks at the Neverland facility, and if he dares to leave, then the medical debit will be levied on him.

On the other hand, we also see Morrow trying to achieve a dangerous desire. He attempts to coerce Slightly (one of the lost boys) into bringing a Xenomorph egg.  Morrow first tries some nice and easy ways to win Slightly’s trust, which include revealing his real name. But when all of that fails, he resorts to threats and coercion. However, one thing that Morrow isn’t aware of is the fact that Krish has heard the entire conversation secretly and is waiting for the right moment to strike back.

In the labs, Krish and Toodles are conducting a test by exposing a sheep to a Xenomorph specimen. This experiment spikes the sheep’s brain, which in turn raises questions about whether the alien is able to control and manipulate minds, or are the creatures even sharper and more intelligent than it was previously believed.

Meanwhile, Dame and Arthur Sylvia, who were once supportive of the hybrid program, are now against it because of the cruelty inflicted on the children.  They grow suspicious when one of the hybrids, Nibs, claims that she is pregnant, which is practically impossible. When Aruther confronts her, she becomes violent and is at risk of harming others. As a result of her behavior, she is ordered to return to the containment before she becomes angrier and starts harming others. But all this does put them into thinking as to why she made such a claim?

I must admit, with each passing episode, the chronicles in Neverland are becoming very intriguing. Wendy’s character is becoming the center of attention. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that she would start speaking the language of Xenomorphs, let alone understand it. Does this also mean that a communication can be established with Xenomorphs? With each passing episode, Boy is becoming crueler and crueler. This, too, is fun to watch. He is now able to control Joe, who was a bit difficult to control earlier. What also caught my attention was Nibs' claim of a pregnancy. Is she really pregnant? And even if she isn’t, why is she making such a claim? I am very excited to watch the next episode and find out more about Nibs. Here’s hoping that the makers actually come up with a track.

Final Score- [8/10]
