Episode 5 of *Alien: Earth* feels like a condensed Alien film, revisiting the ill-fated Maginot spacecraft from Weyland-Yutani and uncovering the circumstances that led to its downfall. The straightforward narrative is interrupted by a startling conclusion where Morrow (Babou Ceesay) talks with the Weyland-Yutani leader (Sandra Yi Sencindiver). What unfolds in their discussion, and what does it reveal about Morrow’s past and upcoming decisions? Let’s explore this.

**How does *Alien: Earth* episode 5 conclude?**

After the recognizable sequence where Morrow secures himself in the Maginot’s impact chamber prior to the ship’s crash into Earth, the scene transitions to the Weyland-Yutani headquarters. In this setting, Morrow awaits his meeting with the Weyland-Yutani executive, the granddaughter of the woman who was in charge when he initially embarked on his journey. This leap to the present illustrates that Morrow has successfully returned to Weyland-Yutani territory to give his report.

The crucial dialogue between him and Ms. Yutani includes:

**Ms. Yutani:** My grandmother held you in high esteem, you know.

**Morrow:** I appreciate that. She had no obligation to take me in. A wild boy with a deformed arm begging in the streets.

**Ms. Yutani:** She always said you were the most ferocious thing she had ever encountered.

**Morrow:** I promised her I’d bring the specimens back. And I will. Then I’ll eliminate the one referred to as Kavalier.

**Ms. Yutani:** He consented to arbitration. We have a meeting tomorrow. Perhaps the lawyers can resolve this.

**Morrow:** Unless lawyers means soldiers, we’re going to need to handle this my way.

Ms. Yutani departs the room, but not before instructing a guard, “Whatever he demands, he receives.”

**What does the conclusion reveal about Morrow?**

The letters Morrow peruses earlier in the episode disclose information about his daughter and his importance within the corporation, but this concluding scene sheds light on his background. Morrow wasn’t merely a random candidate for the Maginot’s security chief; the previous head of the company recognized potential in him as a homeless youngster, took him in, and trained him. Morrow’s reference to a “deformed arm” likely accounts for his robotic arm today. Perhaps Weyland-Yutani redesigned him into a cyborg as a token, with the price being the 65-year mission that distanced him from his young family.

In any case, it’s clear that Ms. Yutani, similar to her grandmother, regards Morrow highly. If his intent is to confront Prodigy to retrieve the specimens, which seems increasingly likely, her final statement suggests he has her complete support.
