This is why David Vincent needs to be stealthier. It’s the third episode and the Invaders have already set a trap for him. They are clearly aware he’s out there and he still just uses his real name.

The trap is that he comes to some town where the military have been investigating UFOs and meets some people who claim to be on his side. They aren’t on his side. One of them is named Vikki, who is a sexy lady they were clearly trying to seduce him with. The thing is, she’s the one who gets seduced! Vikki is a “mutated” form of the aliens, capable of feeling emotions, which apparently the rest of them can not. And she has fallen in love with Vincent and his inescapable blue eyes. This, more than anything, felt to me like whenever a female villain on the Adam West Batman show (a contemporary of this show) would fall in love with Batman so easily and question her life of crime. Anyway, as one might expect, Vikki is torn between her people and her love, and Vincent isn’t sure if he can trust her, but does learn some new things about his foes. Naturally, like a Batman villainess who has to fall into a nuclear reactor or whatever to end the episode, Vikki tragically does not survive this one.

Among the things we learn about the aliens in this episode is that when they die on Earth, they disintegrate into a flash of red light, which leaves no remains, so there’s no evidence to show anyone. How convenient for the aliens. I mean, maybe not “convenient” because it means one of them dies, but for their conspiracy it sure is helpful. You know what I mean. What we don’t know is if this is the result of, like, the chemical makeup of Earth’s atmosphere reacting to their bodies or something, or maybe it is the result of being killed while they are in a human form. The former would imply their natural forms are so alien to our world that it really makes you wonder why they’d even bother trying to take over the planet.
