last-minute cliffhanger before "Why Go" by Pearl Jam plays. next week explains what happened on the Maginot, then the week after that it's fully-grown and murders the shit out of the Weyland-Yutani team using it's snakeskin dome as camo.

at first I thought the cum gun was going to explain why it has a copper dome later, and/or a snakeskin dome, but rewatching the episode it's back to black, so maybe one of the other aliens is responsible.
