Three words: I found her.
With three words, you might end the nightmare.
John Sugar has found Olivia Siegel.
Hes bringing her home, still breathing.
And the larger, more sinister forces at work remain obscured.
Thats right; John Sugars going to be sticking around on earth for a while longer.
Its always the stones left unturned that inevitably reinvigorate the scent and put you back on the trail.
With Olivia safe and sound, Sugar seems poised to leave Earth by sunset with the others.
Sugar cant bring himself to listen to the whole thing for now.
But something is nagging at him, and theres a clue on that CD.
Margit is looking at photos of her son in an album when Sugar arrives at the Siegel mansion.
Im not really sure why its her there and not Bernie.
You know, I saw [David] inThe Boy in the Cornera while ago.
He was … he was really good, he tells her.
And he means it.
To say that I thank you would be a gross understatement, Jonathan tells Sugar in their final meeting.
Olivia hasnt talked about what happened in the Paviches basement.
But right now, its Jonathan for whom Sugar has some burning questions.
The jig is up, but its better the police arent involved from here on out.
This is a safe space to air all the dirty laundry.
Sugar hands Jonathan the polaroids of Rachel Kaye.
Shes loved, Sugar replies.
Thats all that matters.
Jonathan Siegel can consider the matter closed as far as he and Oliva are concerned.
Grace and sensitivity, Jonathan says in casual amazement, to the end.
Ive never shown a human being.
Its strictly against the rules, Sugar says in voice-over.
But Im glad I did.
The look has already said it all.
Every trope you ever heard about deadly dames and tall, dark, and handsome private eyes.
The humans we told you about are hunting us, Ruby tells Sugar over the phone.
They want us gone so they can find out about our pact.
Nevertheless, he finds time to return to the Siegel mansion to check in on Olivia.
Shes ready to speak about Pavichs basement, confirming a nagging suspicion already percolating in Sugars head.
There was a second person in the room with Pavich.
Olivia could hear him writing.
This is why you are here, and your distant ancestors are not.
Looks like our alien professors gone a little mad doctor with this intergalactic observe-and-report mission.
We knew about Pavich, Ruby tells Sugar.
They all did and kept it secret for the sake of the mission.
But, Jen, I had no idea.
These people, he says.
For better or worse, I like them.
Is Jen still alive?
Was Henry really the one who took her in the first place?
Well probably never know.
A fraught eight-episode run ends with neither a bang nor a whimper.
The tides of television turn fast in Los Angeles.
For now, its as good a place as any to say farewell to the lovely John Sugar.
