If you’re following the new FX seriesAlien: Earth, then you know that this show isn’t just a rehash of previous Alien films. Not only has Noah Hawley’s new show introduced a ton of new creepy monsters to the Alien pantheon, but the series also follows the lives of a new kind of artificial lifeform; the hybrids, young kids whose minds have been placed in adult bodies. And, on top of that, the show has also given us the most enigmatic character in the franchise yet: Morrow (Babou Ceesay), the cyborg who was also the sole survivor of the spaceship Maginot , if you don’t count the various alien menaces.
And now, with the fifth episode of Alien: Earth — “In Space, No One…” — we’ll finally get more information about how Morrow got into this situation and what it means for the series going forward. Here’s when to stream Alien: Earth Episode 5, and why this episode is one you can’t miss. No spoilers ahead.

Alien: Earth Episode 5 Plot, Explained
The title of Alien: Earth Episode 5 is a massive hint about what the plot is all about. “In Space, No One…” refers to the famous tagline from the original film “In space, no one can hear your scream.” So, in some ways, this episode is Alien: Earth’s version of the 1979 Alien, but within the context of this series. From the pacing to the visuals, nearly everything about this episode will remind you of Sigourney Weaver in 1979.
Saying anything else will be a big spoiler, but again, if you’re curious what happened to Morrow and this specific crashed ship, this episode reveals nearly everything and sets up the action for the rest of the season. After “In Space, No One…,” there are just three episodes left in Alien: Earth. At least that is, in Season 1.
