FX/HuluAlien: Earth Episode 7 will step outside Prodigy’s base and into the forest, and going by the trailer, Wendy is angry at… someone.
Things went from bad to worse in Episode 6; specifically, Morrow got the better of Slightly, who locked Arthur Sylvia in the containment room and sealed his fate with a Facehugger. Also, Tootles got knocked into the flies’ nest, where they shot acid in his face and killed him.
So, what’s the endgame here? Arthur has a Xenomorph embryo inside him, so Slightly will need to figure out a way to get him off the base. Wendy’s brother Joe is also in a difficult position: he knows they need to leave, but she’s just found her purpose in being able to communicate with the alien creatures.
Episode 7 is the penultimate installment of the show (fingers crossed it gets renewed for Season 2), and there could be another Xeno twist.
What if Alien: Earth Episode 7 kills off another Xenomorph?
The trailer for Episode 7 opens with Slightly showing Smee where he’s hidden Arthur’s facehugged body: under the bed (remember, he’s still a child at heart). “Will you help me?” he asks.
Between shots of soldiers walking through a river and Kirsh investigating what happened, Wendy appears to tell Nibs and Curly, “We’re not safe here, I don’t think we ever were.”
It seems like Wendy and the Lost Boys will plot an escape from the base, with Kirsh noting how all of their trackers have been turned off (apart from Tootles, who’s listed as “terminated”).
We also get a glimpse of Yutani’s ronin commandos emerging from the water and a soldier peering up at a tree, before Wendy screams, “What did you do?”
FX/HuluIt’s tempting to assume she’s angry at Slightly for getting Arthur killed. That’s still a possibility, but there’s a chance Curly could betray the hybrids to curry favor with Boy Kavalier.

There’s a third option: what if the Xenomorph bursts out of Arthur’s body, and as Wendy tries to communicate with it, Joe kills it? Or, what if he kills the young Xenomorph we’ve already seen?
“My guess? He just killed her pet Xenomorph,” one user speculated on Reddit. “Now that she’s able to communicate with Xenomorph and seems to empathize with it more than anybody else… yikes,” another wrote.
According to one user, there’s a shot in another trailer of “Joe and Wendy staring at a bunch of soldiers getting shredded by a Xenomorph. Though it’s blurred by the title on screen. I think it could be this or the next episode.”
