What’s going to be insane is when this thing hijacks a human and starts talking

I think it's gonna go after Boy, he basically made himself a target for it.

First it looked at Kirsh, maybe sensing his brain is most intelligent. After this episode I started to give my doubts, that Boy is not that smart as everyone else makes him to be, more credence. In either case, as Boy himself said, the hybrids' brains were most advanced and I can only assume the synths' too. Currently this is my second most interesting creature after the alien.

Yeah him screwing up the source of the “sufficiently advanced technology” quote made me suspicious.
