Alex Rider Season 1, Episode 6 recap: What is the Gemini Project?
Everything that happened on Alex Rider Season 1, Episode 6
Alex Rider Season 1 hasn’t wasted too much time with exposition and reveals. It shouldn’t be surprising that Episode 6 would reveal the big Point Blanc plan.
Alex learns what is really going on in the basement. Meanwhile, Kyra attempts to escape and Tom is kidnapped by Parker Roscoe. Let’s take a look at everything that happened in the episode.

While I’m glad that Alex and Tom’s friendship wasn’t tested with secrets at the start of the season, there was always going to be one bad thing about Tom knowing. Alex’s cover would end up blown.
Granted, nobody was to know that Martin would steal a photo of Alex and Tom. Nobody knew that Parker would end up kidnapping Tom to find out who Alex Friend/Alex Rider was. And Tom had no reason to believe that Parker was someone he wasn’t supposed to share anything with.
However, Tom has blown Alex’s cover. Well, Tom didn’t say anything—his phone said it all.
Fortunately, the DSO learned from Jack that Parker had taken Tom. They managed to get him back before he was killed, and now they know they need to move in on Point Blanc to get Alex out.
Kyra attempts to escape
Actually, Kyra does escape from Point Blanc. She has everyone looking for her outside (and everyone believing she’s run away so a hit on her parents is ordered), and then she decides to retrace her steps to come back for Alex.
Maybe she also retraced her steps because she knew she wasn’t going to get far in the snow. By go back while everyone was looking for her, she’d have time to hide and plan her next steps.
Those next steps involve Alex. Speaking of Alex…
Alex Rider learns the truth about the Gemini Project
We finally found out what had happened to the other kids. They didn’t have something happen to them to change their personalities. Instead, they’ve been locked away and there is a double out there. And the kids are tortured if they don’t give up the information they need.
Alex needs to find a way to get everyone free. However, he’s caught by Dr. Greif, who wants to know who he really is. Thanks to Alex’s training he unknowingly received from his uncle, he’s able to fight the drug he’s given to tell the truth.
He then asks about his uncle. Why did Dr. Greif kill his uncle? Dr. Greif has no idea what Alex is talking about. At no point did those at Point Blanc have anything to do with Ian Rider, which means there is someone above his head calling a lot of the shots. Who is it?
I don’t know if we’ll find that out in Alex Rider Season 1. We may need to wait for the second season to learn the truth.
When Alex is left alone, Krya shows up and gets Alex free. Now Alex can fashion an ironing board into a snowboard and escape Point Blanc to get word to the DSO. Just as he hits a road with a thump, a truck comes barreling toward him.
We cut the screen just as it looks like the truck will hit Alex. What’s going to happen next?
