This episode continues the intense battle between humanity and the alien threat, with the World Defense Council (WDC) scrambling to find new strategies as old methods fail. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Trevante and Mitsuki survived the helicopter crash in the previous episode and how their mission to destroy the alien core will progress.

The release time for Invasion Season 3 Episode 5 varies by region. For viewers in the United States, the episode will be available on September 18, 2025, at 6 pm PT and 9 pm ET. In Australia, it will air on September 18, 2025, at 11 pm AEST. However, viewers in the United Kingdom and India will get the episode on September 19, 2025, at 2 am BST and 6:30 am IST, respectively.

What Happened in Episode 4?
In the fourth episode, titled The Mission, the World Defense Council sent Trevante and Mitsuki on a dangerous journey into the Dead Zone. Meanwhile, Aneesha was questioned about Infinitas, adding another layer to the mystery. The episode ended with a tense cliffhanger: Trevante and Mitsuki’s helicopter crashed after being attacked by alien vines, leaving their fate uncertain. The WDC also realized that their previous weapons, like Neuro Darts, are no longer effective against the evolved aliens.
What to Expect in Episode 5
Point of No Return will likely focus on the aftermath of the helicopter crash. While Trevante and Mitsuki are presumed alive, they may be captured by the aliens instead of killed. Their mission to destroy the alien core with a shard bomb will continue, and their experiences could provide valuable insights into the alien network. Aneesha’s role in uncovering the secrets of Infinitas will also be crucial, as her discoveries may impact the human resistance. Additionally, tensions within the WDC leadership could lead to internal conflicts or betrayals.
Creator Simon Kinberg mentioned in an interview that this season brings the distinct storylines together, making it an intense rollercoaster ride for viewers.
The episode will also explore new alliances as characters realize the need to work together against the growing alien threat. With the introduction of “apex aliens” and evolved threats, the stakes are higher than ever. The show’s diverse cast, including Golshifteh Farahani as Aneesha Malik and Shamier Anderson as Trevante Cole, will continue to deliver strong performances, with Erika Alexander joining as a new series regular.
