Alien: Earth Episode 3’s Ending – What Happened to Wendy? (And Why It May Be a Major Game-Changer)

In a surprising move, the series Alien introduced its main character, Wendy (portrayed by Sydney Chandler), who is one of the first “hybrids” – human children with their consciousnesses transferred into synthetic android bodies. This innovative group, including Wendy and her companions known as the Lost Boys, mark an intriguing expansion to the Alien universe’s history. However, during the two-episode premiere of Alien: Earth, showrunner Noah Hawley skillfully maintained a fast-paced narrative that left viewers with minimal opportunity to delve into the profound ramifications of hybrids, especially Wendy’s distinctive powers.

In Episode 3 of “Alien: Earth,” another suspenseful twist leaves a member of the Hermit family in peril. Interestingly, this time, it’s not Hermit (Alex Lawther) who finds himself confronting the xenomorph, but instead, it appears that Wendy/Marcy is the one who has become entangled with the lethal alien species.

In the early episodes, the show didn’t delve deeply into it, but viewers found themselves puzzled by the scene where the Lost Boys reached the USS Maginot crash site. It was evident that Wendy encountered periods of static or interference when present at the Maginot site, yet the cause remained undetermined. Some enthusiasts swiftly proposed the idea that Wendy might be tuning into a high-pitched frequency that xenomorphs use for communication – and it seems we can almost affirm that theory now.

Alien: Earth Episode 3 Confirms Wendy’s Connection to the Xenomorphs

In Episode 3 titled “Metamorphosis”, the group known as the Lost Boys manage to apprehend all the hazardous creatures that Weyland-Yutani were secretly transporting to Earth, although it came at a heavy price. Wendy and Hermit end up severely wounded during a fierce confrontation with a xenomorph drone which had earlier claimed the lives of the Maginot crew members. In this encounter, Wendy unfortunately loses her life in defeating the creature. The hybrid remains motionless for several hours afterwards, before being found by the Prodigy Search and Rescue team and transported to the Neverland facility for necessary repairs and reactivation.

When Wendy is away, Samuel Blenkin (Boy Kavalier), the owner of Prodigy, decides to manufacture a xenomorph drone for research. To do this, he utilizes some of Hermit’s damaged organs as an incubator for the xenomorph, and forcefully extracts a larva from a facehugger and implants it into Hermit’s flesh. However, the process of creating a xenomorph through such invasive surgery evidently distresses the facehugger, causing it to emit a high-pitched scream that not only provokes other facehuggers in their eggs, but also stirs Wendy from her coma.

The scene concludes as Wendy, disoriented by the unknown frequency, navigates towards the lab where Kirsh (Timothy Olyphant) and the Lost Boys are developing a xenomorph. As the facehugger perishes and the xenomorph embryo starts to grow inside her, she crumples onto the floor. Although it’s still unclear in Episode 4, it appears that Wendy might have a unique link with or sensitivity towards the facehuggers, which generates numerous intriguing inquiries right away.

Wendy’s Xenomorph Connection Could Change Everything About Alien

Following her unique ability to transition between bodies (being the first successful attempt at such a process), it’s hardly surprising that Wendy developed an unusual perception or sensitivity that sets her apart from others. As fans began to speculate about this link, several intriguing queries naturally surfaced.

Does Wendy have the ability to detect or perceive the sound of xenomorph drones, similar to how she can hear facehuggers? Are the sounds produced by these creatures at the same frequency level?

Additionally, when Wendy seems to understand xenomorphs, is this ability more like overhearing them, or does she also have the capability to respond to them? If Wendy can indeed interact, what would a conversation with such creatures entail?

In this paraphrase, I aimed to maintain the original meaning while using simpler and more conversational language.

With each major twist, shows often present us with the difficulty of reconciling new information with existing narratives, such as the Alien films. The revelation that an Earth-based corporation has created an advanced AI capable of understanding and potentially communicating with xenomorphs could significantly alter the franchise’s timeline. Such a development poses a considerable risk in storytelling, as the xenomorphs’ mysterious nature is a key part of their appeal. A means of communication might diminish their enigmatic quality altogether.
