What Happened to Dr. Elizabeth Shaw?

The Alien universe can be a cruel and punishing place. It’s a lesson Ellen Ripley learned with the waking nightmare that was her life after the Nostromo first landed on LV-426. It was a mortal lesson that Corporal Dwayne Hicks and Rebecca “Newt” Jordon didn’t get the chance to learn but experienced none-the-less.

And Doctor Elizabeth Shaw was also subjected to the cold and uncaring cruelty of existing in the Alien universe after she and David arrived at Paradise, the Engineer’s homeworld, following the events on LV-223 during “Prometheus”.

When the marooned synthetic David and surviving crew of the expedition of the USCSS Covenant arrived at the Engineer necropolis, the ageing and malfunctioning synthetic lied to the crew about Elizabeth. Elizabeth Shaw’s fate. David told them that their Engineer Juggernaut crashed when their deadly pathogen cargo accidentally deployed while they were landing. Dr. Shaw was tragically killed in the crash.

Later, as Walter went to confront David about his lies, he came across Elizabeth Shaw’s very cold and very dead corpse in David’s own quarters, not buried in the garden amongst the living as David had earlier told his synthetic brother. Her internal organs had been removed, and a strange biological growth had appeared around her head – a tribute to H.R Giger’s Li artwork, of course.
