"As a human, Wendy (Sydney Chandler), née Marcy, had a terminal illness, and rather than succumb to the disease, she gave her mind over to Prodigy, a corporation that uploaded her subconscious into a part-synthetic being. Now, Wendy lives - as much as something who does not have a heart can - in the body of a young adult with the mind of a preteen, working and learning on a remote island with the other Lost Boys, children who will never grow old."
"A Weyland-Yutani spacecraft carrying what else but a dangerous Xenomorph (and friends!) crashes on Earth, letting loose horrors that typically run amok in space. Amid the ensuing violence, Wendy is reunited with her brother Hermit, played by Alex Lawther, an Army medic who continued to age and change in his sister's absence. Wendy and Hermit's attempts to resume their relationship often takes a backseat to the gory spectacle of Alien: Earth, but the siblings are the beating heart of the show's drama."
"For Hermit, their reunion is bittersweet. He remembers burying Marcy. Who's to say this woman is really his sister as he once knew her? Can he love her like a flesh-and-blood relative? This tension reaches its peak in the conclusion of the penultimate episode, "Emergence," when a confrontation between Wendy and her fellow synthetics and Hermit and his military team escalates into violence."
