The dumpster looking aliens are using Carter and two others to explode the nuclear waste dumps on the moon, by convincing them they are back on earth having a good time. This entire episode is so full of plot holes as to make it ridiculous - even for this show. According to Koenig, the Moon has been away from earth for generations, which would mean they are traveling at light speeds. Unlikely since that would tear the already weakened moon apart due to the previous nuclear explosion OF THE DUMPS the aliens want to explode. So either not all the dumps have exploded, or Alpha is creating a lot of nuclear waste. As Carter and his people approach the earth, it looks entirely normal when, in an earlier episode when Earth contacted them, they were told earth took a beating. Yet the NY where Carter and such are landing looks like 1974 New York! Likely all coastal cities would have been wiped from existence. So where part one is creepy and tense, part two is really quite silly, other than when Helena uses white noise to reveal the dumpster aliens true form.
