Episode Overview

Title: Sarcophagus Plot: An archeological group is on the verge of abandoning their search in a secluded area of Alaska when Natalie Grainger (Lisa Zane) uncovers what looks like a burial site. Inside, they find several human skeletons, one notably clad in an unusual metallic garment and encased in a shimmering amber cocoon. When Natalie's husband, Curtis (David Cubitt), makes contact with the cocoon, he experiences a startling phenomenon. He gains the ability to see through the eyes of the alien entombed within, a being equipped with terrifying claws and fangs. This psychic link also generates enough energy to melt the cocoon, triggering the regeneration of the alien’s form. As the creature stirs to life, some team members, including Emmet Harley (Robert Picardo), propose reaching out to a major corporate laboratory to profit from their groundbreaking find.
