Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth Season 1 Episode 8, which is the final chapter of the season, will air on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET. Fans were left on a major cliffhanger in the previous episode titled, ‘’Emergence,’’ which saw Wendy, Nibbs, and Joe heading out from the Nervermore. They realized that The Lost Boys is not safe either after Tootles died accidentally by locking himself in the glass chamber of alien specimens.

After watching how Tootles died, Boy Kavalier was onboard to begin new experiments with Ocellus (sheep), who knocked on the glass chamber, leading to Tootle’s death. He believes that his IQ is far better than he thought.

Meanwhile, Wendy, who believed that they were ‘premium,’ decided to step out of the facility. She hacked the monitors and brought in one of the xenomorphs with her, which helped them to escape from Boy Kavalier’s further experiments.

The xenomorph did not cause any harm to the trio as Wendy could communicate with it and ordered it to ‘’hide and follow.’’ Xenomorphs hunt many soldiers on their way and help them reach the docks. However, as they were about to hop onto the boat, soldiers arrived. Nibs goes crazy and attacks, but Joe stops her by using electricity and gets shot several times.

Wendy is shocked to see that Joe has attacked her friend, Nibbs. The xenomorph lurks in the woods, waiting for Wendy’s command to strike. The episode ends with Wendy turning to Joe and shouting,

“What did you do?”

The next episode is expected to continue from this point, leaving viewers with many questions. Will Wendy command the Xenomorph to attack Joe’s friends, the soldiers? If not, how will they escape? And will Boy Kavalier catch them again?
