    Wasn’t the queen destroyed at the end of the episode and all the others died because he queen died?

      I hate the “destroy the central entity and the others will be disabled” trope, so overused in sci-fi

        I see it used on species that don’t have individial identities, where one controls the brood, and for those it makes sense and I don’t mind.
        Didn’t see this ep so not sure it applies.
        Starship troopers is a good example perhaps, not many others I can think of.
        Star craft 2 did this well IMO, where the brood without mother splits into chaotic disordered groups who are aggressive to everyone.
