Very good. Let's dive in.

It opens up right on the tail, on the cracked Geiger-like tale of episode two, Wendy is racing down into the substructure of the towers to find her brother Joe, who has been tackled and carried away by the xenomorph.

Meanwhile, Kirsch and some of the other lost boys are in the lab and they're studying the specimens.

And Kersh is going through Mother's database of the creatures and the aipus has been captured and everything seems fine.

She's really done for it, traumatized both by the kind of life and death the way she sees it struggle that she just
