Anyone see episode 9? We found out quite a lot about Beta. I'm curious if anyone has theories on the twisty bit at the end?

A couple of theories from IMDb regarding Jen.

Spoiler

I found Paula annoying before, but did you guys not pay attention? She quoted "the lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation." (Jeremia, 25:30). "Those that hear the lord's trumpet will be saved, and those that don't, will be damned."
I googled a bit and some people think that in the prophecy of the rapture, those who do not believe in Jesus or didn't make the grade or whatever can't see him.

So, we have Jen, who has always dreamed of meeting a new life form (this is mentioned at least twice in the episode). However, you find out at the end that she can't see it. She feels left out because the above quotation struck a chord with her, and unleashed her frustration on the plants.

Jen not seeing Beta was her hallucination.

Remember, her and Wass still claim they haven't had hallucinations yet. Evram was also going on about how the hallucinations are all guilt related. Jen went against protocol, as well as Rollie, by creating her space bunny baby. So by her "cheating" and making her own organic being in space, she was deprived of seeing the truly amazing organic being, Beta, in space.
