Plot Recap

I Just Want You To Face The Truth – Kamen, Fiona

Kamen’s alien friend finds what appears to be Fiona, who is by no signs alive, and it rests beside her in a way that Kamen is less than a foot from cuddling her corpse. With that, he finds himself reliving memories, none of them happy. However, before he can really face his reckoning, he wants to escape from the womb he has encased himself in.

Thankfully for him, a bomb goes off, and with that, he seems to be on the way towards freedom.

Two Heads Are Better Than One – Azi, Ursula, Levi

A handful of fateful encounters happen. Ursula thankfully runs into Azi and is able to free her so that both can head towards the Demeter to stop Kris and Barry. Also, Ursula runs into Levi, who has evolved complexly.

Clearly, they are more one with the planet Vesta than ever before, but they have retained their voice. However, as for being subject to human needs and wants? That’s gone. It has full autonomy now. Though, when the rope that was bonding Azi is brought to them by some insects, who seem to exalt Levi, there is a chance something may have clicked inside of it, and it may join the fight happening at the Demeter.

Karma Strikes Too Slowly – Barry, Kris, Kamen

Now, what fight is that? Well, as Barry and Kris prep to leave the planet, as noted above, Kamen’s friend shows up. Surprisingly, despite multiple instances it seemed ready to be on a collision course; it had no interest in Barry and Kris until they decided to start blowing things up to make their escape. In doing so, they got the alien’s attention, and its first act was nearly snapping Barry’s neck like it did Charlie.

Luckily for Barry, Kris has a bomb go off that gives them time to escape, but it becomes clear that they didn’t win a battle, certainly not the war; they just avoided death for a little while longer.

Other Noteworthy Information

Questions Left Unanswered

Highlights

A Wonderful Setup For The Finale

So, everyone alive is about to meet up, and I’m surely interested to see what happens. Will Kamen’s alien kill everyone? Will Levi get its revenge? What about Azi and Mia being reunited? Heck, Could Sam hold on long enough for medical attention? Never mind, will this season end with everyone leaving the planet or maybe trying to colonize it? From what we’ve seen, outside a few plants, it isn’t the worst place to live and seems to be able to sustain human life, considering the air is breathable and water is drinkable.

On The Fence

What Was The Point Of Showing Azi’s Crash Landing?

A part of me needs to ask why they showed Azi landing? Was it to remind us who Levi was before they reintroduced them? We didn’t see everyone else crash land, so I assume that’s the reason, and if that was the sole reason, I feel like they wasted valuable time in the lead-up to the finale.
