Syfy‘s alien comedy Resident Alien is well into its second installation with its fifteenth episode, the seventh of part 2, released as of Wednesday, September 21. Episode 15 is titled Best of Enemies and sees Asta discovering an alien tracker planted in Peter’s neck by the Greys, which leads her to realize that Harry had been holding him hostage. Peter then went on to reveal that the tracker was his only connection to his son.
Eventually, Harry teamed up with his new rival-and-partner, Asta, in his attempt to infiltrate General McCallister’s secret military camp in Wyoming to look for his alien child by pretending to be Peter’s prisoner, who shoves him into a cell within the base. The duo then heroically save the human captives who claimed to have seen aliens, including his own son Robert, who does well to deliver Goliath’s complete message to Harry.
Meanwhile, in Patience, Colorado, D’Arcy, who is trying to bounce back from her addiction, spent quality time at the Twelvetrees house with Dan instead of going to work as Asta convinced her father that D’Arcy had overstayed her welcome, and he agreed. So, the two took up residence as roommates in another house.
In addition, feeling unloved, exhuasted, and torn over whether he should green light work on the resort, Ben drove himself into an accident but was far from regretting it, as Kate and he reconciled at the town clinic where the other residents came up in a show of solidarity and support to their Mayor.
