The flashback that changed everything in Resident Alien

Until now, Resident Alien had only hinted at Ben and D’arcy’s romantic past. But in the episode titled "Truth Hurts," the show finally goes back to their high school days, giving us a front-row ticket to the first time they shared a kiss.

Instead of just hearing about it through adult conversations, viewers see younger versions of the two characters during the early 2000s, capturing a version of them untouched by the weight of secrets or regrets.

This isn’t just a nostalgic detour. That opening scene sets the tone for everything that follows in the episode. It reminds us that Ben and D’arcy once trusted each other deeply.

Later in the same episode, Ben confronts her alone, suspecting she’s hiding something—and he’s right. D’arcy knows about the alien baby, and she’s protecting it, even if it means lying to someone she once loved.

Ben’s words during this tense scene in Resident Alien are rooted in that past:

"The you that I know is pretty blatantly honest... you told me how you felt about me, and I felt the same way, but I was just too scared to say anything."

This line doesn’t just reference their high school kiss—it shows fans how their connection still lasts. When D’arcy swears she knows nothing, her lie stings even more because of how close they used to be.


D’arcy’s truth and heartbreak in the present

The kiss from the past is the emotional weight behind D’arcy’s choices in the present.

Right now, she’s caught in a complicated situation, keeping a massive secret to protect Ben’s abducted child. Even though her heart isn’t in the lie, she makes it anyway.

When Ben asks her to swear she’s telling the truth, she brings up their old nickname for a teacher’s car, saying:

"I swear on Mrs. Fontaine's Ford Fiesta."

That shared memory in Resident Alien is all he has to go on.

What makes this even more painful is D’arcy’s inner conflict. She’s long battled feelings of self-worth and often believes she ruins the things she cares about. Her failed Olympic dreams, her struggles with addiction, and her messy dating history all add depth to why this moment with Ben is so hard for her.

She isn’t just lying to a friend—she’s betraying someone who once loved her, and probably still does in some quiet way.

The lie may seem small on the surface, but for fans who’ve followed her journey, it’s a breaking point. Her guilt is easily felt in this episode of Resident Alien. It’s not just about hiding the truth—it’s about who she used to be, and who she still wishes she could be.


The flashback in Resident Alien Season 4 doesn’t just tell us how Ben and D’arcy’s love story began—it changes how we see everything between them now. That one kiss from years ago makes every word, every silence, and every lie carry more weight. In Patience, love and secrets always seem to walk side by side.
