Exclusive clip from Syfy’s The Ark episode 5 teases dissension among the crew

By

The drama on Syfy’s The Ark is heating up as the remaining members of Ark One fight to stay on course and complete their mission, as is evident in an exclusive clip from the upcoming fifth episode titled One Step Forward, Two Steps Back.

In the clip, Lt. Spencer Lane (The Outpost’s Reece Ritchie) confronts Lt. Sharon Garnet (Maid’s Christie Burke) over the shocking revelation that she is a clone. Lane demands Garnet to relinquish command, but Garnet refuses, believing she is still the best person to command the ship. The official logline for the fifth episode reads, “As a radiation leak sparks a crisis, there’s a break in the murder investigation. Someone will have to sacrifice themselves for any hope of survival.”

Watch the exclusive footage below.

On a colonization mission set 100 years in the future, the crew aboard Ark One experience a disastrous event one year away from reaching its destination. The event leads to the deaths of many high-ranking officials and others. Three lieutenants — Garnet, Lane, and James Brice (The Sandman’s Richard Fleeshman) — must act quickly to save the remaining members of Ark One and continue with their mission.

The Ark is created by Dean Devlin (Independence Day) and Jonathan Glassner (Stargate SG-1). When Digitial Trends spoke with the creators and cast, Fleeshman discussed the idea of leadership and the fight to be in charge as a pivotal storyline that would develop throughout the first season.

“There’s a little echo of Game of Thrones fighting for the chair,” Fleeshman said. “Throughout the series, the captain’s chair remains vacant for an awfully long time, maybe indefinitely. It’s always the pride of place in the bridge. It’s kind of in the background. Everybody’s got their eye on the prize.”

Resident Alien cast on what to expect for the rest of season 2

When Resident Alien premiered on Syfy in 2021, it shook up the standard science fiction tropes. In the series, an alien arrives on Earth, finds a reclusive doctor vacationing in a small town ... and kills him. Afterward, the alien takes the man's shape, becoming 'Harry', and sets out on his mission to destroy humanity.

Throughout the series, the audience watches Harry form relationships with the townspeople and slowly become more human. It's part Schitt's Creek and part Mars Attacks, all wrapped up in an oddly endearing coming-of-age tale. But the midseason cliffhanger in season 2 revealed that Resident Alien is about to take a wildly different turn.

In The Undeclared War, cyberterrorism is real and a serious threat to humanity. In 2024, the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) attempts to fend off cyberattacks in the lead-up to the British general election. After experiencing a shutdown, a young student in the malware department named Saara Parvan, played by Hannah Khalique-Brown, uncovers a second attack that was set to go off the next day.

However, this appears to only be the tip of the iceberg of what's to come. In this exclusive clip from The Undeclared War, Danny Patrick, played by Mission: Impossible and Star Trek vet Simon Pegg, explains to the Prime Minister how Parvan and his team helped stop the second attack that would've taken out the entire internet, leading to "catastrophic results." However, the celebration ends abruptly when they realize there could be other secrets, like information for future attacks.
