Fun enough, definitely one of the better entries from Into the Dark, even if the story is derivative and it very much wants to be Zombieland-but-with-aliens. Two lead actresses were good, rest of the cast range from passable ( woke frat guy ) to ooof ( mom ), diverse cast ( normal for Blumhouse, but still deserves a mention nonetheless ), not scary but i don't think that was the point of this ep, not a lot of FX but then again the budget can't be that big to begin with.
HOWEVER, there are some very serious issues being talked about in this ep, and the tone shift from " Life changing traumatic event" to " Meta Millenials LOL Aliens " was clunky at best. Not that i'm expecting that much from a show like this, but i dunno, stay in your lane? Or at least handle things better. The conversation they want to have would be a better fit in a more serious, darker ep imo.
