Episode 3 of Alien: Earth, titled “Metamorphosis,” truly lives up to its title by centering on transfirnation. Just like how a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, this episode focused on both physical and emotional transformations of several characters.

Wendy goes on a rescue mission, Kavalier reveals his master plan, and Kirsh plants a seed in an episode that feels like it’s killing time as much as Xenomorphs
