![]() This proved to be the case with Secret Invasion's final episode, which included many shocking reveals crammed into the episode's admittedly short runtime.įollowing on from the penultimate episode, Secret Invasion episode 6's Easter egg-filled conclusion saw the final confrontation between Gravik and Fury. Given the overall premise of Secret Invasion being the covert infiltration of Earth by shape-shifting enemies, each episode of the show has involved a fair share of twists and turns regarding the story and characters. Secret Invasionepisode 6 capped off Fury's war with Gravik in a suitably shocking fashion. However, when the narrative played out to its eventual conclusion, those that took the deal realized that the horrible cost was not worth it in the end.Warning! This article contains spoilers for Secret Invasion episode 6. Each provided wonderful benefits in the short term. Both the advanced alien technology in "Death Valley" and The Muse's promise of fame and fortune in "Red Tide" turned out to be monkey's paw-style gifts. If there is a connecting thread between both halves of the season, it is that each contained a strong warning about sacrificing one's humanity for the allure of something that seems like an easy solution to a massive problem. With that, Theta bursts Mamie's head, another hybrid child is born, and "American Horror Story: Double Feature" comes to an end. We could go deep on the hypocritical nature of the alien's ultimate plan (including, as some fans on Reddit have pointed out, that the only reason the aliens are on earth is that they likely made their own planet uninhabitable), but at the end of the day, they won the war and are making the rules. In "Death Valley," the end result is humanity being overthrown by aliens, but you could call that a metaphor for climate change, social isolation, the spread of misinformation, or any other downside to our technological age. ![]() Kendall's arguments about the dangers of rapidly advancing technology from Episode 1 were warning of a similar outcome. We're firing you."Īgain, this calls back to Jamie's comments and the themes of "Death Valley" in general. Eisenhower traded American lives for alien tech believing that he was sparing the rest of humanity when he was, in fact, dooming them to eventual extinction. "Earth is the garden, humanity is the gardner. "If you had a prize rose garden and the gardener let all of your roses wither and die, what would you do to him?" the robot emissary says. When she pushes back, Val offers her a succinct metaphor. That second part is news to Mamie, who never quite realized the extent of the aliens' plans. They will produce as many hybrids as possible until they are able to replace humanity entirely with the new species. When she later asks Val about the birth of the hybrid, he confirms the story and tells her it's time for phase two. The one character in the modern-day timeline who recognized the insidious nature of technology ends up becoming a zombified cyborg whose only purpose is to birth alien-human hybrid babies. In a cruel twist of irony, Kendall is decapitated and her head is replaced with a large, metal orb that keeps her body alive so that it can continue to be used as an incubator. But Kendall's ends up being the perfect hybrid that the aliens have been striving to achieve for decades. Jamie's baby is not quite right and she and the infant are both unceremoniously killed. After Kendall and Jamie find Cal and Troy's desiccated bodies, they are captured by Theta's (Angelica Ross) guards and brought to the birthing suite. And the ability to send memes around the world. "I can't believe we traded the best parts of being human - our freedom, curiosity, our need to explore - all for microchip technology. "You were right, Kendall," Jamie says while they traverse the set of the moon landing. ![]() Once there, though, she realizes that while all of her plans may have come to fruition, that doesn't necessarily mean she's gotten what she wants in the end. After her "death," she's taken to Area 51. The past portion of "Death Valley" concludes with Ike dying of natural causes and Mamie deciding she wants the aliens to make her immortal so she can continue her professional (and maybe romantic?) relationship with Val. ![]() Like the shadowy government conspiracies surrounding Area 51, though, this inconsequential storyline is obviously a nod to a not uncommon conspiracy theory about the existence of a secret cabal of reptilian humanoids that controls society. The show doesn't go into great detail about this new reptilian species, other than that they are in league with the aliens. This species takes the form of humanoid creatures with lizard-like eyes and a darting tongue that Kissinger struggles to keep hidden. ![]() Henry Kissinger, Nixon's controversial Secretary of State, turns out to b a different kind of extraterrestrial. There's also another wrinkle to all this plotting. ![]()
