7 Times D’arcy Bloom from Resident Alien invited embarrassment on herself 

If you felt Resident Alien was a strange show just because of all the intergalactic stuff, wait until you get to D'arcy Bloom. She is the bartender of the town, who once aspired Olympic fame, but now lives on alcohol, cynicism and lousy decisions. D'arcy, portrayed beautifully by Alice Wetterlund, will be the living image of “I am alright, but, perhaps, not.” She is tough, witty, tough again, but at the same time, she is fickle with a tendency to sabotage herself in tremendously awkward manners.

D’arcy is the sentimental fireworks of Resident Alien. Here are 7 occasions when the character of D’arcy Bloom in Resident Alien brought the humiliation upon herself.

The kiss that became “rigor mortis” Panic (Season 1, Episode 4 in Resident Alien)

In Resident Alien, Season 1, Episode 4, D’arcy Bloom tries to pull off a daring and memorable act when she and Harry kiss at the end of a dinner party. What happens turns out to be one of her most cringe-worthy incidents on the show.

After having dinner at Ben's place, Harry drops D’arcy home in his car. She asks him whether he is planning to kiss her, and Harry ends up licking her face instead. Harry, who is only now getting used to being a human being, misunderstands the physical reaction following the kiss. He does not know anything about human biology, becomes hysterical, and shouts that his penis is in “rigor mortis” and that it is dying because he believes it is some serious medical condition affecting him but actually it is his very first erection.

Rather than gentle amorousness, the moment turns into literal panic with D’arcy uttering “It’s… it’s not the worst kiss I’ve had.” That line cuts like a knife because it is her sour sarcasm seasoned with embarrassment. D’arcy is a character who is usually very tough, very sarcastic and bar-hard-liner cool, but this scene breaks her shell. She makes an effort to demonstrate confidence, and what she faces is alien fuzziness and physical embarrassment.

High-school party confusion (Season 1, Episode 3 in Resident Alien)

Among the most painfully awkward situations D’arcy Bloom has been in, a haunting one would be when she and Asta unintentionally gate crash a party that is supposedly held for high school goers. It is the peak of secondhand embarrassment, a clumsy mistake that exudes some comic bewilderment, which is all very human.

Thinking that it will be a lighthearted social event, they soon find out that they have gotten lost in a place where they are years too old and terribly out of fashion: they are at a teenagers-only high school party. What is more mortifying about this situation is that D’arcy is trying to feign a nonchalant cool attitude in an environment where she has no social ground whatsoever.

She looks like a sore thumb among teens: the older woman who is really pushing it, being all cringe and gawky, and is obviously failing to get the vibe. Even Asta, her sidekick, has to do cleanup duty, literally taking a half-conscious Jay out of the party and dropping her home safely, while the audiences get a flashback glimpse about Asta being Jay’s own birth mother.

The runaway truck prank gone wrong (Season 1, Episode 10 in Resident Alien)

Fans witness one of the most eye‑popping instances of D’arcy’s self‑inflicted embarrassment in Season 1 Episode 10 of Resident Alien. She goes as far as rigging Jimmy’s truck to roll down a hill in what she believes is appropriate vindication but this time she not only embarrasses herself but also risks the lives of other people.

As it is Jimmy Hawthorne is already a despicable figure in D'arcy's life, becoming the object of her mounting resentment. Playful dissatisfaction turns rapidly into a frenzied joke. She secretly releases the parking brake of his truck at the top of a hill. The car rolls out of control into traffic, narrowly avoiding people and other vehicles, and eventually crashes while Jimmy frantically runs after it. This alarms and shocks everyone.

Even though her intention was to defend herself and make Jimmy pay for messing with her, D'arcy goes out of her way for revenge, making this a moment of great public humiliation. Fans over social media shuddered that she could have actually killed somebody in the process. In this scene, viewers see D’arcy at her most self-centered as most of the time she is on the end of the spectrum of bravado and pandemonium, but here she goes one step further than theatrical mischief into actually endangering lives.

The party at Harry's cabin (Season 2, Episode 8 in Resident Alien)

It was an incredibly degrading moment for D’arcy in Season 2, Episode 8 of Resident Alien, when the townies had gathered at Harry's cabin to celebrate his surprise birthday party. Amidst the chaotic situation downstairs because of the alien baby at loose, the situation upstairs takes another dramatic turn.

As all the other guests are having fun, eating deviled eggs and gossiping, D'arcy accompanies Kate to the bathroom to take a pregnancy test that turns out to be positive. Things go haywire pretty much from there. D’arcy goes on to confront Ben about his real estate plans, and it comes out in front of Kate that D’arcy and Ben had spent a day together and that they smoked weed in Max's room. As if it wasn't embarrassing enough for D'arcy to have weed stored in a child's bedroom closet, yep, in a child bedroom, add to that, Mike tells Kate that it was D'arcy who kissed Ben and not the reverse which Kate was not aware of.

This sets up an explosive conflict: Kate not only feels betrayed by Ben but also by D’arcy, the person with whom she was confiding. Out of anger and disappointment, Kate tells D'arcy that she thought D'arcy was her friend. It is an immense emotional spectacle: D’arcy’s darkest moments are out before the mayor, his wife, friends, and neighbors.

Pill addiction and confrontation

D'arcy Bloom, a former promising Olympic skier who turned into a local bartender and town savior, reaches her lowest point in the second season of Resident Alien when she still is overstimulating her body even though her knee injury is crippling. She is driven to compete once more and to numb the pain she takes prescription painkillers.

As the plot develops she becomes dependent on the pills, and falls into emotional and physical addiction: a state that would drive the people around her to face the impact of her addiction. Her boyfriend Elliott starts worrying as she frequently misses scheduled runs and arrives at the pub drunk all the time, claiming that she was cleaning but in reality she was concealing more than exhaustion.

Even after kindly asking what is wrong, Elliott does not get a justification from D'arcy. That denial turns out to be the point of no return: he ends the relationship with her as he cannot be in a love affair that is steeped in secrets.

The missing blender lid obsession (Season 2, Episode 14 in Resident Alien)

In this episode of Resident Alien, D’arcy’s behaviour becomes uncontrollable and confusing as, in a scene, she becomes fixated over a lost blender lid: a comically small item that becomes the subject of her maniacal obsession. At first, it appears as a harmless peculiarity, but, in fact, it becomes a physical representation of her disintegrating mental status.

When she hysterically starts questioning her boyfriend, Elliot, if he has seen the lid, we get a peek into how she is also handling her addiction, anger, grief, but the only thing she can get obsessive over is a plastic lid. It is pathetically relatable in how even that snippet of frustration can feel colossal when you are weak.

That weird, uncomfortable breakdown over a blender lid is, in a nutshell, what defines D'arcy as being a mess, a humorous incident that is also a cry for help. Her shame is visible and yet somehow also pathetic. D'arcy eventually comes into Asta’s house bawling, carrying a bottle of pills. The most emotionally polarizing moment of her story is that intimate act of submission, raw and degrading. The vulnerability is in the crying, the admitting of her dependency, which pulls back the facade she had up.

Accidentally revealing secrets

D'arcy Bloom in Resident Alien tells everybody that she does not mean to spill, but her mouth, or bad luck, apparently has a mind of its own. She is a character that attracts melodrama for no reason, dropping vital clues at the most inappropriate times. She has the right intentions but she always acts in the worst time.

The result? Vulnerable secrets that rock relationships, taint reliability, or simply cause tension of a cringe-worthy nature. In Season 2 finale of Resident Alien, Harry breaks down and confesses to D’arcy (and Asta) that he is in fact an alien. D'arcy does not yell, but at the same time, her attention is drawn, not to the sci-fi bombshell, but to the resentment of being kept in the dark by Asta. She spouts her anger out loud.

Again in Season 1, Episode 4 of Resident Alien, she blurts out at Ben's house that she and Ben were lovers in the past and that they never really broke up, which made his wife uncomfortable at that moment. Whether it is drunken nostalgia, betrayal over hidden truths, or impulsive confessions, each slip is what shakes up relationships, causes drama and makes D'arcy a messy and embarrassing character in Resident Alien.
