Tonight is the night SYFY’s hit alien comedy-drama Resident Alien returns with the last eight episodes of season two.

The series is based on the Dark Horse comic of the same title by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse, which follows an alien who crash lands on Earth with a mission to destroy the human population. Finding a cabin on the outskirts of Patience, Colorado, the alien takes over the person who lives there form and identity becoming the quirky Harry Vanderspeigle, a doctor. Because of a series of unfortunate and deadly coincidences and events, Harry becomes the town’s new doctor, where his out-of-this-world adventure truly begins.

Key Season 2 Moments So Far:

  • Harry saved Max and crash-landed again
  • Harry was able to build a radio to communicate with his people
  • The human Harry killed Sam

  • Sheriff Mike opens up to Deputy Liv about his previous partner and how he died
  • There was an epic and revolutionary girls’ night

  • Without knowing the truth, Deputy Liv’s belief in aliens is proven right

  • Ben wants to get a resort built in Patience

  • Liv is calling the alien tracker to have him come to the town to help her

Episode 9, “Autopsy,” picks up right where “Alien Dinner Party” left off. Viewers won’t have to wait for long to find out what happens. The residents of Patience, Colorado will continue to be put through the wringer as Asta and Harry “must deal with the emotional fallout of the night all while searching for the alien baby — a search that leads to big realizations for each of them, Sheriff Mike and Deputy Liv solve a big case, Ben attempts to sell Patience on a new resort, and D’Arcy fights the challenge of a lifetime.”
