Alien: Earth Ep. 7’s Eyeball Creature Nails Pi — Then Poops, Bleats and Freaks Out the CEO
Episode 7 of Alien: Earth, titled “Emergence,” gives the series another creepy highlight: the eyeball creature known as t. ocellus (Species 64) gets more screen time, and Prodigy CEO Boy Kavalier moves it into a portable containment tube in his office. Meanwhile, Wendy, Joe and the other Hybrids keep trying to get off Neverland after recent events in the facility.
Episode 7 recap
In the episode, Wendy (Sydney Chandler) confronts her brother Joe (Alex Lawther) with anger, screaming twice, “What did you do?!” The episode documents the Hybrids’ attempt to leave the island Neverland after several facility incidents earlier in the season.
Previously, a Prodigy scientist named Arthur (David Rysdahl) turned off the Hybrids’ trackers in Episode 6, and episode 7 continues the fallout from that decision. Also, the science-minded Hybrid Isaac was killed in episode 6, an event linked to t. ocellus.
t. ocellus: the eyeball creature
t. ocellus, also called the “eyeball alien” or Species 64, appears in episode 7 after being moved from Prodigy’s lab into a portable containment tube on the floor of Kavalier’s office.
In one scene, Kavalier (Samuel Blenkin) writes the first three digits of pi — 3.14 — on his hand and asks t. ocellus for the next three digits. The creature stomps out the next two digits in sequence and then defecates in its enclosure. After that, t. ocellus bleats angrily, which visibly unsettles those watching.

Behavior and intelligence
During the office scene, Kavalier treats the creature as an intelligence test subject. Atom (Adrian Edmondson), Kavalier’s manservant, expresses concern about the creature’s potential danger. Atom warns, “If this creature were to escape and embed itself in the human population—”
Kavalier responds by proposing a human test subject, saying, “You’re right, we should… yeah, we should switch it into a person,” and adding, “Y’know, someone who talks and uses a toilet.” He also says he knows “just who to use” for the experiment, though the episode does not show who that person might be.
The Lost Boys and the escape
The Hybrids, collectively named The Lost Boys, are on the run in episode 7. Wendy helped a Xenomorph she had been nurturing escape the facility, and that Xenomorph now roams Neverland, attacking obstacles in Wendy, Joe and Nibs’ path.
Nibs (Lily Newmark) is affected by a recent memory wipe, yet she still shows signs of distress. When the Hybrids find the graves holding their organic bodies, Wendy says, “We’re not dead.” Nibs replies, “I don’t think I am anymore…” The scene highlights ongoing identity and memory issues among the Hybrids.
