Who (Or What) Is Joseph Rainier, Exactly?
The human-alien hybrid is a foe…but he could become a friend
Through most ofResident Alienseason 2 ’s account , Enver Gjokaj ’s assassin was nameless , as were his accurate loyalty . Considering his very first scene revealedhe blink away with a duet of vertical nictitating membrane , his status as an foreigner or an outlander - crossbreed of some kind was sustain , but it was n’t entirely certain what or who . It was later revealed he was the bulwark in General McAllister ’s unit when he shot and killed Peter Bach when Peter and Harry infiltrated the full general ’s bootleg ops web site to rescue Harry ’s baby and Peter ’s son , Robert ( Paul Piaskowski ) .
TheResident Alienseason 2 closing revealed just who the mysterious bravo was . depart by the name Joseph Rainier , he ’s one of the Greys . Considering he walks around in human kind and , thus far , the Greys have not been mentioned as being able-bodied to shapeshift like Harry ’s race of extraterrestrial , Joseph is almost certainly a human - Grey foreign hybrid . Whatever he is , he ’s there to fulfill the Greys ' mission of integrate with humanity before pass over out humans altogether . As the newest deputy sheriff of the Patience law department , he ’ll be a bigger thorn in Harry ’s side in time of year 3 . It remains to be realise whether his human side will deliver the goods out and he ’ll demonstrate any redeeming qualities .
What Do The Greys Want With Ben & Kate’s Baby
The Ben & Kate reveal was season 3’s most horrifying twist
Joseph Rainier is n’t an anomaly . TheResident Alienseason 2 finale bring out the most horrifying twist of all : Ben ’s " sleepwalking " episodes have really been alien abduction by the Greys . The Greys also revealed they have Ben and Kate ’s babe ; earlier in the season , Kate ’s gestation storyline was suddenly resolved when she took a second gestation test and learned she was n’t fraught , after all . As it turns out , the Greys slip the foetus out of her womb and are now raise it aboard their ship in some kind of synthetic uterus as one of their hybrid babies .
The heartbreaking reveal raises more doubt than it answers . It sure as shooting begs the question of why the Greys are interested in sure fetus , and , in special , Kate and Ben ’s . It may have something to do with Max - after all , he ’s one of the few masses on Earth who can see through alien camouflage and cloaking gimmick , so perhaps the aliens need his succeeding sister comrade to try out on . Or , perhaps Max himself is a cross . The Greys have been kidnapping Ben since he was a fry ; who do it what they did to him genetically or how they tampered with him .
Did Deputy Liv See Ben Get Abducted When They Were Kids?
It’s possible Liv is carrying her own sort of trauma
The reveal that Ben has been kidnapped regularly by the Greys throughout his life naturally extend to questions of whetherResident AlienSheriff ’s Deputy Livhas also experienced the same without recognise it . Unlike Ben , Liv never forgot their encounter with the alien UFO in the Grant Wood during their puerility camping trip , but her memories were blurry . When she heard the cry of Harry ’s alien baby , however , it triggered something in her , and her memories of that night started to get back .
However , Liv has n’t been get sleepwalking episodes or any strange white spot in her memories , so the grounds points to the Greys not abducting her like they did Ben . Liv does think back that night , though , and it ’s shape who she is - in fact , she ’s the only person in the townspeople of Patience who genuinely believe in UFOs and aliens without having any proof . One of the possible reason the store has stuck with hermay be that Liv witnessed Ben getting abducted when they were kids ; if season 3 finds her memory more about that night , it could be that she watched her friend get taken out and the Greys erase her memory of it .
One of the possible reason the memory has stick with her may be that Liv find Ben getting kidnap when they were kids .
What Will Happen To Harry’s Baby, Bridget?
Bridget could truly become a bridge between two worlds
Harry rarely prefer to be in truth selfless inResident Alien , but fatherhood make for out the selflessness in him where his baby , Bridget , is concerned . When he learns from Joseph Rainier that his people have ease up up their conquest of Earth and grant it to the Greys , Harry use the escape ship Joseph left for him to send Bridget off to his people and their home planet near Ursa Major . Harry ’s heart is in the correct home , butconsidering that Bridget is half - human and Harry ’s airstream is ruthless and bloodthirsty , it may be that Bridget is in more risk than had the baby stayed on Earth .
It ’s likely not the last audiences will see Bridget , however . Harry having a baby and bond with it is too magnanimous a story to end like that . Harry and Sahar named the minor " Bridget " as he is mean to be a bridge between Harry ’s race and human beings ; the babe will sure as shooting have a polar role to dally in the futurity . His introduction and departurehave set Bridget up to perhaps be the one who arrest Harry ’s race to unite with humans in their coming fight against the Greys , whether inResident Alienseason 3 or later .
What Happened To Robert (& How General McCallister Caught Him)
Robert’s story is the most mysterious of all
Robert , like Bridget , is a character reference who did n’t have much screen time inResident Alienseason 2,but will likely have a larger role to fiddle in time of year 3 . Like Kate and Ben ’s baby , Robert was meant to be the boy of Peter Bach and his wife , Jenny . However , the Greys steal Robert as a fetus from Jenny ’s womb , but would nobble her and Peter every few year and allow them to see their son .
That ’s where Robert ’s tale gets blurred . When he ’s first introduced inResident Alienseason 2 , it ’s as one of the captive in General McCallister ’s black website facility . She had kidnapped him earlier and hold him at the site , thinking he was an alien . It ’s not clear when the Greys let Robert go and why , or how he was nobble by General McCallister . If he ’d had time in the normal human world between being released by the Greys and enamour by McCallister , it support to reason he ’d have look for and reunited with his parents . Now that the terminate ofResident Alienseason 2 sees him abduct once again by the Greys , Robert is being set up to play an important part in the tale move forward .
Were The Documentary-Style Interviews Real People?
It was a nice nod not just to Peter Bach but also to real alien abductees and experiencers
TheResident Alienseason 2 ending saw the stopping point instalment diverge from its usual format to one that interspersed the usual activity with documentary - style interview of foreign witnesses and abductees . Deputy Liv is one of the interviewee , and she last speak her truth in a tearful avouchment : " I believe in outlander . " Her inclusion confirms thatthe on - camera testimonials are snippets of the documentary that Peter Bach had mentioned he was wee . Liv seemingly arrest over her fear of derision to participate in the docudrama as a direction to honour the memory of Peter .
In a fun winding , however , showrunner Chris Sheridan unveil in an interview withSyFythatthe interviews are all real multitude who have had real experiences with alien or UFO encounters . Originally , he explained , the plan was to just have Deputy Liv telling her story , and it evolve from there .
" But then I thought it would be coolheaded and stop the fourth wall a piddling mo by having actual people who ’ve had actual experiences get interviewed and show those interviews as part of the same documentary film , which I thought might ground Liv ’s [ story ] and make it feel even more material … For the people that believe this stuff , and I do , there are people who have been abducted their whole lives and maybe do n’t even remember it until afterwards in sprightliness . They ’re hypnotized and these figure of speech hail back to them . "
