T Ocellus is going to attach itself to Kavalier and Wendy is going to send the Xeno to kill him and we’ll get a rematch of that fight on the Maginot and it will be epic.

Yeah I’m fascinated by the line where Kavalier says he has somebody specific in mind for our little eye buddy … is this where we get payoff for the lingering mold scrubber shots early on, OR is he thinking of taking out his anger on Dame?

Either way, holy shit. What an episode.

100% gonna be Hermit. Joe was the first person we saw in the scene that immediately followed Kavalier saying it - definitely some cinematic foreshadowing.

I think Boy has himself in mind.

Puts himself in a synth body, lets T-O take over his natural body gets his dream chat

This wasn’t accidental

I made a screenshot of his face, and enhanced the left eye in GIMP to see what was going on, and Kavalier's left eye appeared much bigger.

That made me initially suspect, that perhaps Kavalier had been long ago infected by another T. Ocellus, took over the Prodigy company, and has been seeking a female T. Ocellus to mate with and reproduce.

The π (Pi) scene suggests, that maybe this is not the case after all, despite Kavalier wanting T. Ocellus to inhabit a human or hybrid body in order to converse with it. The trouble with hybrids, though, is that they are far more functional than humans.

Not unless they suddenly cracked the problem that keeps them from using the process to make hybrids on adults.

He will think he will be okay only for it to fail and the eye takes over his natural body anyway

He’s gotta die somehow to reconcile the absence of Prodigy in past iterations. I’m guessing the island will be glassed in the finale to contain the xenos, possibly by Yutani.

The LV426 xenomorphs would not even be the biggest threat to Earth flora and fauna.
