Part 4/9:

Upon waking the following morning, John is met by his guardian, Henri. Their banter hints at a deeper connection, as both are revealed to be aliens escaping the ruthless Mogadorians intent on exterminating their kind. The discovery that three of their own—Numbers One, Two, and Three—are now dead paints a grim future for John, whose fate is yet to be unsealed.

Knowing that they must relocate to stay under the radar, John suffers a painful farewell to his past life, symbolized through the burning of cherished photographs. In their journey, a comical twist occurs when a small lizard hitchhikes a ride on their truck, eventually morphing into a dog that John names Bernie—a bond that signifies hope amidst turmoil.
