The series follows Ye Wenjie, an astrophysicist who sees her father beaten to death during a struggle session in the Chinese Cultural Revolution, who is conscripted by the military. Due to her scientific background, she is sent to a secret military base in a remote region. Her decision at the base to respond to contact from an alien civilization, telling it that humanity can no longer save itself and that she will help the aliens invade Earth, affects a group of scientists in the present day, forcing them to confront humanity's greatest threat. In the episode, Saul is recruited for the Wallfacer Project, while the Staircase Project is put into motion.
The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its "calm" nature and character development, although many expressed frustration with the season's pacing.
