‘Resident Alien' Stars on Their Show's Cancellation, TV Industry ‘Disarray' and a ‘Plausible' Movie Continuation: ‘You Guys Deserve More'
The 'Resident Alien' cast took a final bow at their first, and now last, San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel, the morning after news broke that their show was canceled. The panel was one of the first on Friday morning and came after USA Network canceled 'Resident Alien' Thursday evening. Showrunner Chris Sheridan and stars Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds and Alice Wetterlund all touched on the cancellation and reflected on the four seasons of the sci-fi dramedy. It has three episodes left to air, with the series finale bowing in two weeks. More from Variety 'Phineas and Ferb' Set to Premiere Next Batch of Episodes in 2026; Additional Guest Stars for 'Cartoonified' Companion Series Revealed 'Resident Alien' Canceled at USA Network Ahead of Season 4 Finale 'The Toxic Avenger' Stars Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood and More Charm Comic-Con With F-Bombs and Surprising Sincerity 'We crafted this season that wraps our storylines and gives the audience a very satisfying conclusion to the four seasons they've been watching,' Sheridan said. 'I couldn't be more proud of what we've done in this season. I can't wait for you to see it.' He added that he had a feeling that Season 4 would be the last for 'Resident Alien' when they started writing and shooting the current season last year. 'I told the cast that I believed this was the last season, and so we should really appreciate it,' he said. 'As we were shooting, there was an awareness that this was probably it. I know I approached it differently, and I appreciated things in a different way. These were big moments and saying goodbye, not only to each other, but also to the work we did.' Wetterlund sounded off on the 'disarray' of the TV industry on stage and told the packed crowd of Comic-Con fans that they 'deserve more' of their show. 'We know that you guys deserve more than you're getting on a lot of shows and movies. The industry is in disarray and it's been disrupted,' she said. 'Thanks, tech. In a world where TV were normal, we could have way more. The only reason that's not true is not because anybody behind the show doesn't want it. It's because the way the industry works now. You guys deserve more of this.' Sheridan said a movie continuation of the show seems 'plausible' in the future, but doesn't have any plans for it right now 'There won't be another season of this show right now. I do hope for a movie down the road. I think that's a plausible thing and that USA does do,' he said. 'No time soon. It's not like I have ideas, but I think that's something that could happen. I don't know about another season, but the industry is always changing. Who knows?' The cast joked about doing a 'Resident Alien Versus Predator' spinoff. On a lighter note, Tomko said 'I'm going to miss the beautiful routine and consistency. As an actor you don't get that a lot in our business. It's our version of a nine-to-five — that comfort you get when you walk in and everybody knows your name.' Tudyk stars in 'Resident Alien' as an extra-terrestrial that has crash landed on Earth with a mission to destroy humanity. However, after stealing a local physician's identity, he begins appreciating and befriending regular humans. The cast also includes Levi Fiehler, Elizabeth Bowen, Judah Prehn and Meredith Garretson. 'Resident Alien' airs Fridays on USA, with new episodes available to stream on Peacock a week later. The series finale is slated for Aug. 8.

"How the laughter that they had during this show, they took into work the next day, and I hope it gave them happiness. I hope it changed their lives for the better a little bit."

RESIDENT ALIEN Recap: (S04E09) Tunnel Vision
Resident Alien Season 4 Episode 9, 'Tunnel Vision,' delivers an action-packed, deeply funny penultimate outing replete with emotional heft. This one requires a box of tissues on hand. It feels like the overarching narrative is organically coming to a close, and folks, I'm not ready to say goodbye to the good folks of Patience. However, with that cliffhanger ending, I need to know who 'they' are. RELATED: Read our recap of the previous Resident Alien episode, 'Mine Town' Resident Alien, 'Tunnel Vision' We open with a flashback to Patience — 138 years ago. The 59 miners attempt to save one man, and, as we all know, they die. 59 died to save one. In the present, Harry (Alan Tudyk) and Mike (Corey Reynolds) search that same mine for the Mantid. Harry carries a flashlight; Mike a gun. Mike hopes to lure the alien into his trap in the elevator shaft, which garners a laugh from Harry. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Tunnel Vision' Season 4 Episode 9 — Pictured: Corey Reynolds as Sheriff Mike Thompson — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Initially, Harry urges Mike to wait outside — and play on his phone — while he kills the Mantid. However, Mike refuses to abandon ship. They can track down the formidable creature together, even though neither has much experience in killing Mantids. Eventually, Harry sneaks away from Mike and takes a different tunnel. You know, to cover more ground. Help Is on the Way Outside the mine, Asta (Sara Tomko) learns from Max (Judah Prehn) and Sahar (Gracelyn Awad Rinke) that Liv is the Mantid. She also followed Mike and Harry into the mine. Asta urges the kids to stay put while she ventures inside to warn Harry. Meanwhile, Kate (Meredith Garretson) asks Ben (Levi Fiehler), who's neck-deep in festival duties, if he's seen Max. Sahar informs them both that the Mantid is in the mine. Max is champing at the bit to be the hero and help Harry. RELATED: TV Review: Resident Alien Season 4 Sure enough, Max doesn't listen to Asta and rushes headlong into danger. He warns Harry about Liv being the Mantid. Harry shoos him away, claiming he won't hear the end of it from Mayor Snowflake if Max dies on his watch. After he and Max part ways, Harry runs into Liv (Elizabeth Bowen), aka the Mantid. The Mantid steals Harry's bottle of Sahar's patent-pending Manticide. Mike reunites with Harry, his gun pointed at the latter. Harry tries to persuade the sheriff that Liv is the Mantid, not him. Suddenly, Mike fires his weapon, but we don't see where the bullet goes. Elsewhere, D'arcy (Alice Wetterlund) gets giggly with Bella, Kate and Ben's baby. It's a brief respite from the action. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Tunnel Vision' Season 4 Episode 9 — Pictured: Gracelyn Awad Rinke as Sahar — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Weird Walk As it turns out, Mike shot the Mantid. However, as quickly as the bullet pierces the Mantid, the wound closes. Harry is stuck on something Mantid Liv said — apparently, Mike thinks he has a 'weird walk.' Harry acts as if this is the worst thing anyone can say to, well, anyone. Mike continues firing on the Mantid as she scurries away. RELATED: 10 Out-of-This-World Predictions for Resident Alien Season 4 Meanwhile, Ben and Kate are also in the mine, searching for their son. Ben is hung up on Kate paying for full service at the gas station. Not the priority right now, bud. Thankfully, they reunite with Max. But Max is still hellbent on assisting his alien BFF. He reminds his parents that he's the only one who can see aliens. He wants his alien tracker taser back. Kate refuses to give it up, though. She decides that if Max insists on helping Harry, she and Ben will accompany him. How embarrassing for him. Ben points out a spider behind Kate's head. She zaps it with the device, feeling a surge of adrenaline as she does this. Now Kate is thoroughly unwilling to part with it. Who's the Mantid Now? Elsewhere, Asta searches for Harry through the mine's tunnels. She hears Dan's (Gary Farmer) voice, followed by D'arcy's. However, both voices are actually courtesy of the Mantid, attempting to lure her into danger. After this, Asta spies Mantid Liv hovering on the rock wall above her, looking utterly terrifying. Asta screams. RELATED: All Is Not Well in Patience in Resident Alien Season 4 Trailer Harry hears her scream and runs toward it, but Asta appears behind him and Mike. Then, a second Asta appears on the other side of the pair. Both Astas accuse the other of being the Mantid. Mike struggles to decide which one to fire at. Thankfully, Max swoops in to save the day, pointing out which Asta is actually the Mantid. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Tunnel Vision' Season 4 Episode 9 — Pictured: (l-r) Gracelyn Awad Rinke as Sahar, Sara Tomko as Asta Twelvetrees — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Unfortunately, Mike firing the gun one too many times sends a ripple through the mine as debris tumbles all around our heroes. While moving through the mine, they encounter the skeleton of the one miner the 59 attempted to save. History right before our eyes, folks. Harry to the Rescue Suddenly, the Mantid, in his true alien form, zooms into view. He tosses Harry down a dark tunnel. Harry emerges in his alien form, though, and kicks Mantid ass. At one point, the Mantid grabs Asta and casts her aside, knocking her unconscious. No one hurts Asta and gets away with it. Harry launches himself at the Mantid and the two duke it out once more. RELATED: New TV Shows This Week (July 27 – August 2) Finally, Harry grabs a pickaxe and burrows it into the Mantid's head. Kate shocks the alien with the device. Take that! Then, the Mantid, now dying, transforms back into Liv. The Mantid weakly informs Harry that Liv's life hangs precariously in the balance … wherever she is. This version of the creature might be on death's door, but more will come. The real Liv wakes up in the boiler room of a storage facility. The Mantid bound her wrists and ankles to a chair. Liv sees Mantid eggs in a sac fixed to the wall behind her. The Aftermath Elsewhere, Asta helps Kate walk into the clinic. Kate has a twisted ankle from their misadventure in the mine with the Mantid. Asta applies an ice pack to Kate's ankle before hunting for a wrap. During her search, she discovers a nasty gash on her forearm, with what looks like black poison — courtesy of the Mantid — surging through her veins. Uh-oh. RELATED: The Premise and How Star Trek Fans Created Fanfic as We Know It Then, Mike tells Harry that he called Liv's husband, John, to ask about Liv. Lena (Nicola Correia-Damude) barges into Mike's office to tell her about Jules. Her breakdown of her experience discovering Jules' cocooned corpse is hilariously horrifying. But her newfound belief in aliens and her reaction to Harry being an alien is even funnier. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Tunnel Vision' Season 4 Episode 9 — Pictured: Corey Reynolds as Sheriff Mike Thompson — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Harry explains to the duo that the Mantid mated with Jules, since Jules had a hole in her abdomen. And when the eggs hatch, those baby aliens will need sustenance. Usually, they'll eat the mother; however, a deputy might do in this scenario. So, the babies will eat Liv if they don't save her soon. Alien Food Meanwhile, Liv discovers an unconscious Robert (Paul Piaskowski) bound to the chair beside her. Liv wakes him up by screaming his name. Robert explains the egg situation and how they're basically food for when those extraterrestrial kiddos inevitably hatch. RELATED: Read our SurrealEstate recaps John (Trevor Carroll) arrives at the sheriff's office, joining Harry, Mike and Lena as they make a beeline for the storage facility. Mike knew Liv had taken Robert there earlier. At the clinic, Kate finds Asta unconscious on the floor, the wound on her arm looking worse. D'arcy and Ben arrive to help out. D'arcy admits she's tried calling Harry multiple times, but he hasn't answered. At the same time, Harry, Mike, Lena and John search all the storage units after discovering that Liv and John's unit was empty. While there, Harry sees what looks like the spirit of Asta. It dawns on him that Asta is dying, and her spirit is attempting to leave her body. Mike reminds Harry that he needs him. After all, Harry is the strongest person in town. Now, it's time to use those alien powers to find our fave deputy. Help Yourself Asta's spirit urges Harry to save Liv first. Harry honors her wish. Meanwhile, D'arcy sits with an unconscious Asta. She delivers a moving monologue about how jarring it is to see Asta in this position of needing help. She urges Asta to take care of herself now. D'arcy also has a series of epiphanies, starting with that she uses humor to avoid feeling those hard feelings. Wetterlund absolutely nails these kinds of emotional scenes. RELATED: Revival : Check Out 9 First-Look Photos From Melanie Scrofano-Led Series Mike and Harry find Liv and Robert. Unfortunately, the Mantid's eggs are hatching. Harry and John start stomping on the alien babies as they scurry across the floor. However, it's Peter Bach's (Terry O'Quinn) flamethrower that truly does the trick. He burns the sac to ashes and destroys all the little Mantid critters. Huzzah! Even better, he reunites with his son. Lena isn't even fazed by the robot man. She's seen and learned so much today. Later, Harry gives Asta a transfusion at the clinic, offering his blood to counteract the effects of the Mantid's poison. If you recall, the Mantid tossed Joseph around like a ragdoll, but he was immune to the Mantid's deadly attacks because he's half-alien. Harry reassures the group that his blood should eradicate the infection. However, it could kill her, too. Her Choice After this, Harry sits in the waiting room with D'arcy and Dan. He tells them that Asta is sleeping. Dan makes everyone cry (and me) with a story about his dying father, and that the decision to live is in Asta's hands. He reminds us that life is a gift; it's not guaranteed. Oof. It's her choice now. Beautiful performances all around tonight. RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: Asta Twelvetrees Next, Ben and Kate chat about Max. Perhaps they need to let his talents flourish. He's right; the government or someone in that sphere will recognize his gift for seeing aliens. He'd be incredibly useful. They've tried to make Max 'book report' smart, but that's not where his abilities lie. Kate adds that using the alien tracking taser was quite exhilarating. She's tired of being afraid. She would like to live life sans fear. Finally, Asta wakes up. Harry's transfusion was a success, and she's feeling much better. She tells D'arcy that she heard everything D'arcy said to her. Asta could see everything, too. The past, the present — she was everything, everywhere, all at once. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Tunnel Vision' Season 4 Episode 9 — Pictured: Judah Prehn as Max Hawthorne — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Parting Ways and Moving Forward After this, Mike and Liv chat with Peter and Robert. As it turns out, Peter turned on his tracker so the 'government people' could find him and lead him to Robert. In return, he'll help them out from time to time. Peter and Robert part ways with our duo. Liv embraces Peter, thanking him for everything. RELATED: Read our Resident Alien recaps Liv tells Mike and Lena that she never wants to hear the word 'alien' again after her experience with the Mantid. This is a new color for our Liv, but she's been through alien hell. Elsewhere, Harry and Asta eat at the diner. Asta is ravenous. She asks Harry for his pie, which he refuses to part with. Asta's brush with death has given her a new lease on life. She wants to be adventurous. To truly live life. So, she's leaving Patience. Harry reassures her that he's okay with this. Why? Because he's leaving, too. Harry feels his time here is done. He wants to be with Heather. That night, Asta sleeps in her bed. Suddenly, she wakes up and whispers, 'They're here.' Uh-oh.

'Resident Alien' Canceled in Shocking Move Ahead of Season 4 Finale, Cast and Creator React to the 'Disappointing' News
Stars Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko and Corey Reynolds reacted to the "disappointing turn of events" on social media Fans of Resident Alien just got some bad news. On Thursday, July 24, Chris Sheridan, the creator and showrunner of the SyFy turned USA Network series, revealed to TV Insider that the show's currently-airing fourth season will be its last. Though the news came as a big surprise to fans of the series, which is based on Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse's comic of the same name, it was less of a shock to Sheridan. 'I knew going into it that this was likely going to be our final season,' he told TV Insider. The showrunner's hunch that season 4 would be the show's last led him to make some creative decisions that would tidy things up. He told the outlet that it was " to go into the season knowing it was likely the show's last, "because I knew we could spend the time wrapping up some storylines and driving toward an ending." "I'm so proud of how good season 4 is and especially proud that we were able to finish as strongly as we did," he continued. Sheridan also teased that the season 4 finale, which is now the series finale, "is probably my favorite episode of the series." The cast is also reacting to the sad news and reflecting on their experiences on the show. In a post on Threads, Alan Tudyk, who played the alien masquerading as Colorado doctor Harry Vanderspeigle, wrote, "It was a hell of a fun playground to play in. Laughter through the tears:)))" Corey Reynolds, who plays Sheriff Mike Thompson, called Resident Alien the "best job I ever had" in a post on Threads and admitted the cancellation news is "definitely a disappointing turn of events." "Frankly, I would've been happy playing, Sheriff Mike 'Big Black' Thompson, for the rest of my life 🤠," he wrote. "But, if there is an upside here, it's that we were somewhat prepared for this, so you the fans, will still get a complete story." Like Sheridan, he teased that the final episodes of the show are worth the wait and will give the story a proper "end." Star Sara Tomko shared a lengthy statement in response to the cancellation news, as she said the show "changed my life." In an Instagram post, Tomko, 41, who has played Asta Twelvetrees, admitted that it will "take time for me to process and digest this fully" as she shared a carousel of photos with her castmates and from set. "I will definitely be sharing BTS photos of our many years together in time," she wrote. "For now, I can say with a full heart that this show changed my life completely," her lengthy caption continued. "Every season we were told how lucky we were to still have a job and I can say with full certainty that luck had nothing to do with it because this cast, our chemistry, our crew, our circumstances, our strength was always held up by an incredible team of writers, producers and our ever-growing fans whose unwavering loyalty kept us enduring." "I will never forget this time in my life nor the effect this show had on all of us. Thank you for your love and support," Tomko added. Like Sheridan and Reynolds, she ended her post by teasing a great last three episodes of the show. "Join us as we make our way to the grand finale," she wrote.

RESIDENT ALIEN Recap: (S04E06) Soul Providers
Resident Alien Season 4 Episode 6, 'Soul Providers,' presents a significant step forward for D'arcy and a resolution for Ben and Kate as they're united with their daughter. Harry learns that we're all connected, interwoven in this beautiful tapestry we call life, and he inexplicably grows a soul. The episode also introduces more aliens — which is fun — and ends on quite the familial cliffhanger. Welcome, Alien Daddy. Take me to your leader (I'm serious; I want off this planet). RELATED: Read our recap of the previous Resident Alien episode, 'The Human Condition' Resident Alien, 'Soul Providers' We open with Harry (Alan Tudyk) landing in the chambers of the Galactic Housing Council, a powerful alien council with a ton of universal pull. Apparently, Harry must answer for his crimes. First impressions aren't Harry's forte, and he manages to get multiple jolts for insolence and for swearing. Well, this is some bullsh*t. Next, we learn that Harry stands accused of the following charges: Refusing to leave Earth, sabotaging the Greys' Yellowstone operation, kidnapping a human baby, harboring a Grey stowaway (Bruce) and (inadvertently) unleashing a Mantid into the universe. If the verdict is guilty, Harry will be sent to Morea — a slow, agonizing death in a noxious acid pit. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Soul Providers' Season 4 Episode 6 — Pictured: Alan Tudyk as Harry Vanderspeigle — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Retrace Your Steps Later, Asta (Sara Tomko) searches frantically for Harry. She barges into his cabin, where Bridget is feasting on dry cereal while watching TV. The dream. She informs Bridget that Harry is missing, but there's a language barrier. Elsewhere, D'arcy (Alice Wetterlund) and Judy (Jenna Lamia) retrace their steps from the night before. The money from the diner — that Asta gave to D'arcy to take to the bank — is MIA. How does $2,000 vanish? D'arcy realizes she didn't do the bank drop for The 59 either. RELATED: TV Review: Resident Alien Season 4 Judy decides to get into the Judy of last night's mindset by imbibing. She's a true character actor. She recalls the hot selfies they took near the pool table. However, they look significantly less sexy once the beer goggles are off. In one pic, they spot a pair of unidentifiable black combat boots. Perhaps that's a clue. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Soul Providers' Season 4 Episode 6 — Pictured: (l-r) Jenna Lamia as Judy Cooper, Alice Wetterlund as D'Arcy Bloom — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Meanwhile, we learn during Harry's trial that the Greys kidnap human babies to harvest their souls. Humans are the only beings with souls in the universe, and infants are the purest. These souls can grant the Greys longevity, immortality — and they're great for incorporating into wrinkle cream. Up Your Butt With a Coconut After more painful jolting, Harry discloses the location of Ben and Kate's baby: the Ute Reservation. Well, before he tells the Galactic Housing Council that it's 'up your butt with a coconut.' I'm gonna have to steal that. Then, Harry learns that the Council has his alien energy. They confiscated it since the Greys stole it without a permit. RELATED: 10 Out-of-This-World Predictions for Resident Alien Season 4 Now, Harry can get it back if he can do one thing: dispose of the Mantid he unleashed. Harry vows to kill the Mantid and bring his corpse to the Council as proof. Then, he'll have that sweet AE (alien energy) again. Huzzah! Double points because the Mantid is already dead, and Harry knows the location of the body. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy. Then, back on Earth, Asta accompanies Harry to the Mantid's grave. She's appalled that the Greys are harvesting human baby souls. Souls are the fabric of the universe. When humans die, they become everything — the soil, the trees, the water. Harry doesn't quite understand this. Alien Evidence Board Elsewhere, Mike (Corey Reynolds), Liv (Elizabeth Bowen), Ben (Levi Fiehler) and Kate (Meredith Garretson) put together a pretty bangin' alien-themed evidence board. Kate still insists that D'arcy was on the Greys' Moon base. Then, there's the chip in Ben's foot. Joseph being an alien. The Mantid. It's all connected somehow. RELATED: All Is Not Well in Patience in Resident Alien Season 4 Trailer Liv divulges some big news: Peter Bach is alive. However, he reaches out to Liv when he wants to talk to protect her. Kate feels comforted knowing that someone who can see aliens is out there and could help them. Uh, ma'am, your son has been seeing aliens since day one. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Soul Providers' Season 4 Episode 6 — Pictured: (l-r) Alice Wetterlund as D'Arcy Bloom, Kaylayla Raine as Jay — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Next, D'arcy and Judy are at the diner. Asta's not there. In fact, D'arcy has been ignoring Asta's calls and put her on silent. Judy Googles the combat boots and devises a plan to figure out who in town purchased a pair when Jay (Kaylayla Raine) saunters up in shoes identical to the ones in the photo. She reveals that D'arcy and Judy visited the diner last night. D'arcy told Jay that she had a bag of money and wanted the latter to meet her in the town from The Shawshank Redemption . The Mantid Is Alive Jay shares that our dynamic drinking duo hit up the clinic to party with Ellen instead. Meanwhile, Max (Judah Prehn) tells Sahar (Gracelyn Awad Rinke) that he's glad the Mantid is dead and buried. Sahar expresses concern re: the 'buried' bit. Mantids are essentially alien mantises, and the moisture of the earth could certainly aid in the molting process. RELATED: New TV Shows This Week (July 6 – 12) Sure enough, Harry and Asta discover the Mantid is gone, with only his skin suit left behind like a souvenir. Now, the Mantid is loose, and he could be anywhere. Uh-oh. Harry's dream of getting back his alien energy grows more distant by the second. Asta's more concerned about Ben and Kate's baby, so they make a beeline for the reservation. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Soul Providers' Season 4 Episode 6 — Pictured: Judah Prehn as Max Hawthorne — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Elsewhere, D'arcy and Judy reunite with Ellen (Diana Bang), who's putting up her feet in Asta's office (and eating her yogurt). Ellen reveals that D'arcy ditched her jacket in some guy's truck. A truck driver who gave our trio a joy ride. Ellen snapped a pic of said truck as he drove away — and while D'arcy and Judy were flashing him. D'arcy attempts to zoom in on the license plate, but it's mostly obscured. Together At the same time, Asta and Harry catch Kayla (Sarah Podemski) as she's about to participate in a powwow. She looks stunning. Kayla urges Harry to take Ben and Kate's baby to the powwow as she and Asta chat. Meanwhile, Kate and Ben decide to transform their guest room into a nursery. They stumble upon Max's old drawings of aliens, including the one of Harry in his doctor's coat. Uh-oh. They put two and two together. RELATED: The Premise and How Star Trek Fans Created Fanfic as We Know It Harry watches the powwow with the baby in his arms. Initially, he struggled to calm the child, but the dancing really soothes her. Harry begins to understand what Asta meant about souls being the fabric of the universe — about how we're all connected. Our resident alien remarks that the energy in the room is palpable and infectious. There, he reunites with Grandma Ruth (Edna Manitowabi). Harry thinks he's feeling 'big feelings.' Ruth remarks that if he's thinking, he's not feeling. So, how does he feel? Harry states he feels connected with everything. 'Nanima,' Ruth responds. She explains that it means 'together.' We're all connected to all things. Harry admits that he feels like he has found something he needed. Aw. I love this scene. Police Reports, Powwows and Alien Drawings Meanwhile, D'arcy and Judy attempt to file a police report. D'arcy claims $2,000 was stolen from her. Mike and Liv question them. Their consensus? D'arcy and Judy were drunk, and chances are, this truck driver is long gone. RELATED: Read our SurrealEstate recaps Asta and Kayla arrive at the powwow. Harry shares his revelations about connection. He feels that thread tying him to the baby. Asta insists they must leave, though, as she grabs the child. Harry lingers, clearly wanting to stay. He feels at home. Then, Ben and Kate ask Max about his alien drawings. Without going into the details of their abductions, Kate asks Max if Harry is an alien. Max recalls the moment Harry lost his alien energy, and he was just a human man. Max decides to tell the truth that applies to this moment: No, Harry's not an alien. Elsewhere, Harry informs Asta that he has a plan to capture and kill the Mantid, but he'll save it for the morning. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Soul Providers' Season 4 Episode 6 — Pictured: Alice Wetterlund as D'Arcy Bloom — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Who Are You? Next, Asta gets a call from the bank.

On Earth, Mike drops off a deposit bag at the diner and hands it to Jay. He reveals that it's the money D'arcy claimed was missing. An inebriated D'arcy put the bank drop in the mailbox by the bank.
