Resident Alien Season 4 Being The Final One Looks All But Confirmed After New Twist

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Resident Alien season 4, episode 6!A massive new twist in Resident Alien season 4, episode 6 all but confirms this will be the final season for the acclaimed sci-fi comedy series. Resident Alien season 4 has been juggling a number of important storylines, such as Harry having his alien energy stolen by the Greys and the Mantid posing a threat to humanity.

However, all of Resident Alien‘s characters have been experiencing some form of alien activity in their stories. After Resident Alien season 3 ended by bringing everyone, including Mike and Liv, into an alien-oriented storyline, that’s been the core focus of the series. But one resolution might signal the whole show is on the verge of coming to an end.

The Hawthornes Getting Their Baby Back Resolves A Huge Grey Alien Storyline

Their Baby Was Taken By The Greys In Season 2

At the end of Resident Alien season 4, episode 6, Asta left the Hawthorne’s baby at their door, finally reuniting them with their child who was stolen by the Greys. This resolves a major storyline that’s been ongoing since season 2, when Kate first learned she was pregnant. It ties into Harry ensuring the Greys aren’t a threat anymore.

The development comes after season 4 has focused on the couple not being able to know the location of the baby for their safety. Named Daisy by D’Arcy, the child was in her care before she gave her to Kayla early into the season. With Harry speaking to the Galactic Housing Council, though, the reunion was able to happen.

Because of how massive a resolution this is, it could signal the show is finally coming to a close. The series has been dealing with the Hawthorne baby and Greys since the back half of season 2, with this resolution putting the major storyline to rest. There’s also not much left for Resident Alien now that the baby is safe.

Resident Alien Only Has 1 Major Storyline Left To Resolve

Harry’s Last Job Could Be The End For The Entire Show

Now that the Hawthorne baby is safe, the only major storyline left is for Harry to use his alien powers to kill the Mantid. This will involve negotiating with his father for his power, since he’s angry at his son for not destroying Earth when he was supposed to. Mike and Liv’s investigation may tie into this final arc too.

Given this is the only major storyline left for Resident Alien, the show could end with the Mantid getting killed for real and Harry getting his powers back. It would also prevent him from being targeted by the Greys, allowing Patience to remain at peace from alien threats for good.

New episodes of Resident Alien air Fridays at 10 p.m. ET on USA and Syfy.
