It was a hectic moment, even before Ike put a barrage of bullets into Amelia’s murderous alien spawn. To that end, she needed to create something that was “part human, part… us.” And Amelia Earhart’s baby was apparently a failure, as it killed everyone in the delivery room - including its poor mother - upon being born, something we learned mere seconds before Maria’s own head exploded.

So, what made the pact worth making in the first place? You know, besides those f–ing delicious salisbury steaks?Īs we learned during a flashback within a flashback, “Maria” explained that her species needed to assimilate to life on Earth in order to sustain itself. And if that’s a spoiler alert to you, I need to have a serious talk with every single teacher you’ve had in your life. Tragically, JFK would never get the opportunity to speak out. JFK apparently arrived at this crisis of conscience after some political pillow talk with Marilyn Monroe, who briefly came up for air to tell JFK about her own traumatic experience with aliens as a child. That sure sounded like a lot of innocent people at first, but after we saw how much Mamie enjoyed her microwaved salisbury steak, the deal really started to feel worth it.

More specifically, in exchange for access to their sweet space technology, Ike allowed the extraterrestrials to abduct 5,000 humans per year to serve as test subjects.

In the black-and-white world that was, Ike and Dick (aka Richard Nixon, played by One Tree Hill’s Uncle Keith!) caught wind that JFK was planning to expose a secret human-alien pact made several years earlier.
