But instead of salvation, the group walks into a trap laid by Prodigy soldiers\u2014including Hermit\u2019s old security allies, Siberian and Rashidi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Nibs becomes frantic, using her stuffed doll, Mr. Strawberry, to endanger the soldiers. In her rage, she kills a guard and then goes after Siberian, forcing Hermit into an impossible decision. He chose to protect Siberian instead of standing by Nibs, which changes everything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On the surface, Hermit\u2019s actions seem like a practical reaction to stop further bloodshed. But the moment carries a bigger meaning. By stunning Nibs, he shows where his instincts still lie, meaning with humans over hybrids. Wendy sees this instantly, her voice breaking as she asks, \u201cWhat have you done?\u201d Her devastation makes it clear that Hermit\u2019s split-second judgment has cut their bond in a way that may not be repairable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Actor Alex Lawther explained that the choice reflects Hermit\u2019s unfinished journey toward truly understanding the hybrids. Though Lawther imagined Hermit living by the mantra \u201cI am human, and nothing that is human is alien to me,\u201d Episode 7 exposes that he hasn\u2019t yet extended this belief to those who aren\u2019t fully human.
