Liz's Isotope for the Aliens
Liz positions this radioactive isotope in the isolation chamber for the captive aliens wearing astronaut suits. Its delivery prompts one alien to remove its helmet, exposing a grotesque, melted inhuman face that horrifies Liz and ignites her confrontation with Reegan. Present agents—Liz, Reegan, the alien in Lafee's suit, Doctor Lennox (referenced), and the Doctor—react as the isotope highlights the creatures' radiation dependence amid rising accusations of conspiracy and murder.
