Ep 5. Significant Other

The show People of Earth focuses on a skeptic journalist named Ozzie Graham who joins a support group for people who claim they have been abducted by aliens. In season 1 episode 5, titled Significant Other, things get complicated for Ozzie and the group when a new member joins and claims to have been abducted with his girlfriend. Throughout the episode, Ozzie is faced with his own personal relationships when he meets a woman he likes and finds out that she is in an open relationship.

The episode opens with the group discussing their abductions, with no new members joining in quite a while. However, that changes when a new member named Gerry appears and tells the group that he and his girlfriend were both abducted. The group is skeptical at first, but after Gerry tells them about the strange encounters he had during his abduction, the group begins to believe him. One member, Kelly, is especially skeptical and questions Gerry on every detail, which leads to a confrontation between the two.

As the group tries to figure out what to do about Gerry's claims, Ozzie is facing his own personal life crisis. He is struggling to connect with his ex-wife, Chelsea, and their children, and starts seeking comfort in a new romantic interest, Kelly. However, when Ozzie finds out that Kelly is in an open relationship, he becomes hesitant to pursue anything further with her.

Meanwhile, Gerry's claims start to become more and more outlandish, causing even more tension within the group. As they try to figure out what to do about Gerry's situation, they start to realize that it may be more complicated than they originally thought.

As the episode progresses, Ozzie becomes more and more conflicted about his romantic interest in Kelly. He confides in Father Doug, the group's therapist and priest, about his feelings and struggles with commitment. Father Doug tells Ozzie that the important thing is to be honest with himself and with Kelly, and to not let fear control his decisions.

By the end of the episode, Ozzie has a heart-to-heart with Kelly and they both come to the realization that they can't pursue a romantic relationship due to their different priorities and lifestyles. While Ozzie may have lost a potential significant other, he gains a better understanding of himself and his own needs.

Meanwhile, the group comes to a surprising conclusion about Gerry's claims and the truth behind his abduction experience. The episode ends with a cliffhanger, leaving viewers eager to see what happens next.
