T10 WHATS UP! August 7 - 13, 2022 pilot. As the two become clos- er the longer Harry stays in town, Asta becomes privy to his secret and is soon the one person who can protect the alien from the dangers around him. After visiting an alien convention together in the se- ries' ninth episode and solving the murder set up in the first episode, Asta and Harry re- solve to send him back to his home planet by any means necessary. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned, and Season 2 begins with Harry back on Earth, this time without any memory of who he is and rely- ing on Asta to fill in the blanks. Amid poker games, girls' nights, bomb building and a trip to New York to find one of his own, Harry grows more human with each and every adventure. In fact, by the time Season 2 went on break in March, the alien doctor even had a surprise party held in his honor — though, of course, it wasn't without its own oddi- ties and setbacks. Upon its Aug. 10 return, "Resident Alien" fans can ex- pect more high jinks and sur- prises, spanning everything from more dead bodies to a whole new alien species that has touched down in Patience (move over, Roswell!). Series creator Chris Sheridan ("Fam- ily Guy") also shed some light on the final eight episodes of Season 2 in an interview with Parade back in March. "There's so much happening in the second half of Season 2," Sheridan teased. "Terry O'Quinn ["Lost"] will be back as the Alien Tracker, this time tracking an alien in Patience — two guesses who that is. The mystery of why Sam Hodges [Jan Bos, "When Calls the Heart"] was murdered will finally be solved." In the same interview, Sheri- dan later added that when Sea- son 2 returns, "Harry is searching for the alien baby ... so he can get the rest of the message and find out informa- tion about the alien race on Earth. Of course, Harry does have human emotions now, so when he does find the baby, it's possible it won't be as easy as he thinks." In truth, it seems nothing is as easy for the alien as he ever thinks it will be. Though per- haps that naïveté is a part of his endearing, child-like charm — even if it's also one of the (many) things that fre- quently gets him into trouble. Tune in to the newest epi- sode of "Resident Alien" when it returns to SyFy after five months off the air. It all begins Wednesday, Aug. 10, with sub- sequent episodes airing week- ly until its finale (estimated as of writing to be Oct. 12). continued from page T2 Out of this world TV: Sci-fi meets comedy in 'Resident Alien' TV FEATURE 5 x 5 Elizabeth Bowen and Corey Reynolds in "Resident Alien"
