Daisy is the name given by D'arcy Bloom to the daughter of Kate and Ben Hawthorne, abducted by Grey aliens but later rescued.
Character overview[]
Baby Hawthorne as a fetus in a Grey incubation tank
At some point after becoming pregnant with this child, Kate Hawthorne took a test, confirming the pregnancy. Later, however, she began to suspect that it may have been a false pregnancy and asked Asta Twelvetrees at the Patience Health Clinic for another test. The test came up negative and both she and her husband Ben celebrated, as neither really wanted another child, feeling that their son Max was enough to be getting on with. Unknown to either of them, the child, a girl, had actually been abducted from the womb by Grey aliens as part of their ongoing experiments to create Grey-human hybrids. The Greys had, in fact, been abducting Ben himself since he was a child. They placed the child in an incubator, sometimes allowing Ben to see her, but erasing all memories of the experience after returning him to his home. Once the baby was old enough to leave the incubator, they began abducting Kate as well, allowing her to spend time with the baby as well. Each time she was made to go back home, she would cry for them to let her remember the experience, but they were deaf to her pleas. Eventually, however, she began to have subconscious recollections of the experience, manifesting as her becoming scared of being in her own home and hearing a baby crying when none was present.
The Greys continue to abduct Kate, wanting her to bond with the child, presumably so that the child will grow up more normally and thus be a better subject for their Grey-human hybrid experiments. Meanwhile, during the day, Kate begins to suspect she is being abducted and takes measures to prevent it, unaware of the existence of her child or what is actually happening during these sessions. She eventually discovers a lump in her neck, which she correctly suspects is a tracking chip used by the Greys.
Kate goes to Harry Vanderspeigle, asking him to remove the chip. He immediately recognizes it for what it is and hypnotizes her, hoping to gain valuable information about the Greys. Hearing her hypnotized recollection of her experience, he discovers the existence of her child. At first, he decides not to tell her anything, determined to get what information he can. However, as she pleads that she wants her baby home with her, he thinks of his bond with his own child. He decides that he will allow her to remember everything and tells her that when he snaps his fingers, she will wake up and do so. Upon waking, she sobs and shouts, the realization hitting her, and he consoles her.
Kate goes to her husband with what she has learned and he in turn shares with her the truth that he has recently learned: that the Greys have been abducting him for over 30 years. After checking to make sure that their own son, Max, isn't being abducted as well, Ben hatches a plan for him and Kate to have their Grey tracking chips removed so that they can no longer be abducted. Kate, however, refuses to have her chip removed, worried that doing so will cause her to lose her link to her daughter. She tells Ben that she is keeping her chip and that the next time the Greys abduct her, she will fight back with everything she has to get her baby back.
The next time she is abducted, Kate makes an unexpected discovery: her friend, D'arcy Bloom. Unknown to Kate, D'arcy snuck onto the Greys' facility as part of a completely separate plan to stop them from exploding a bomb at Yellowstone National Park, which would have resulted in the Earth's gravity being altered so that it would only suit them. D'arcy is shocked to learn about Kate's baby having been abducted and agrees to help her out. The two of them make their way to the secret nursery where the Greys keep the various children they have abducted. They watch in horror as holographic recordings are played of the children's mothers to soothe them. They eventually find Kate's baby. The Greys then show up and tackle Kate, placing a restraining device on her neck and sending her on her way. In the confusion, however, D'arcy succeeds in getting a hold of Kate's baby and bringing her back to Earth. She then travels to the Hawthorne family home to reunite the child with her family, but finds herself hovering on the doorstep.
Ultimately, D'arcy does not return the child to her parents due to the fear of re-abduction by the Greys and the interference of Asta Twelvetrees. She is subsequently taken in by the two women for her own protection, and D'arcy names her Daisy.
Although D'arcy wishes to care for the baby, she and Asta recognize the fact that she is likely not save with them, they being so close to the Hawthornes. They decide to place in the care of those on the Ute Reservation. When harry later pays a visit to the reservation, he discovers an unexpected connection with the baby. He himself is in trouble at the moment for having taken the child from the Greys, who are hoping to harvest her soul and have appealed to the Galactic Housing Council against Harry's actions. Eventually, Harry, having negotiated an agreement, returns Daisy to the Hawthorne family home, where is discovered by a delighted Kate and Ben.
Behind the scenes[]
- According to Resident Alien creator and showrunner Chris Sheridan, he had considered withholding the truth regarding Kate's pregnancy and the abduction of her child by The Greys until Season 3. He decided, however, that this would feel like a cheat, that it would make it seem to viewers like the story had simply been cut off, and thus it was important to reveal the truth within the same season. He also felt that it made for both a great and terrifying ending to the season.[1]
