Watch a Sneak Peek of the Series Finale of 'Resident Alien' (Exclusive)
Watch a Sneak Peek of the Series Finale of 'Resident Alien' (Exclusive) originally appeared on Parade.
Well, here we are. The series finale of Resident Alien is now upon us. The sci-fi comedy premiered on SyFy back in 2021 after production was delayed because of COVID, then found an avid fandom after laughing over Alan Tudyk's madcap stranded-on-earth alien as he takes on human form to blend in while trying to repair his spaceship. The series found an even larger audience once Netflix started streaming the show. Even though the show has an ever-growing fan base, it wasn't enough for a fifth season renewal for this underrated comedy sci-fi series. So here we are, at the very last episode of Season 4 – and Resident Alien in general.
Here's everything you need to know about the series finale of Resident Alien. As you watch the episode, remember this: The Utes don't say "Goodbye," they say, "Punikyavaatusamu 'ara" or "See you sometime."

What happened in last week's episode of Resident Alien?
In "Tunnel Vision," last week's action-packed episode of Resident Alien, Harry (Alan Tudyk) and Mike (Corey Reynolds) head into the mine in search of the Mantid. But unbeknownst to them, the Mantid is no longer Agent Jules Gardner (Jewel Staite). Instead, the Mantid has taken on the form of Deputy Liv Baker (Elizabeth Bowen)! We hoped she wasn't dead, but only Max (Judah Prehn) was able to see Liv for what she really was.
Before he could head into the mines to warn Harry, Asta (Sara Tomko) stopped him and Sahar (Gracelyn Awad Rinke) from entering and said she'd go instead. As she found a way in, Max ignored her (as he seems to ignore all the adults in his life lately) and headed in to find Harry. Sahar, meanwhile, headed back to the town festival to find Mayor Ben (Levi Fiehler) or Kate (Meredith Garretson).
Before Asta could find Harry, she came across Mantid Liv. When she did get to Harry, the Mantid had shapeshifted in Asta. Now there were two Astas, and Harry and Mike couldn't tell who the real one was. Luckily, Max found them all and pointed out Mantid Asta. Cue fight alien fight scene. It looked like the Mantid had the advantage over Alien Harry until Asta sprayed him with the Manticide, knocking her. An angered Harry then went ballistic on him, eventually killing the Mantid with a miner's ax. Of course, Kate tazed the Mantid with the alien taser for good measure, but the damage is done. Asta was infected by the Mantid.

Unaware of Asta's injury, Harry and Mike went in search of Liv. Harry saw a ghostly Asta point them in the direction where Liv was, knowing she was near death. They eventually found Liv with Robert (Paul Piaskowski), along with the Mantid's egg sac, which was ready to hatch. As the Mantids came out of their shell, it looked like the end for our heroes. Fortunately, Peter Bach (Terry O'Quinn) arrived just in time and torched the egg sac to nice, charred, crispy burnt ends. Father and son are finally reunited.
Without a word, Harry headed to Asta's bedside to try to save her by giving her a transfusion of his alien blood to combat the Mantid infection. And, miraculously, Asta survived. While having dinner at the diner later, she and Harry realize it's time for both of them to leave Patience. Harry needs to find Heather (Edi Patterson) and his other kids, while Asta needs to find her heart's desire.
The final shot of the episode is of Asta sleeping. She is awakened, and she mysteriously says, "They're here."
