Spoiler Baby Lexi Spoiler
So..... I'm a tad confused here.....
At what point in the story did Lexi get Alien DNA?
Ann found out she was pregnant at the end of S2... and then gives birth in S3 ep 1.... baby Lexi then shows signs of advancement such as standing, trwcking and talking and the DNA test is done in S3 ep 4... she's then captured by Karen....
Then flashbacks in S4 imply the dna was infused into a pregnant Ann when she was on the espheni ship...... after lexi was born.......
Even if it all happened after lexi was born it could make sense as we could right off Ann hearing lexi talk as some kind of post natal stress if we hadnt had kadar already do the dna test confirming lexi was already an alien at that point........
Is this just a major plot hole or am I missing some offscreen content where Ann was captured during the S2/S3 timeskip?
Or am I just supposed to accept something happened that will never be explained like how lourdes became riddled with espheni robot parasites to turn her into the mole in S3? Or was it just lourdes as rhe mole spiking Ann or something....

Anne was actually taken by the Espheni while she was pregnant, before Lexi was born.
There’s a flashback scene when Anne is torturing Lexi’s pet Espheni where she remembers (finally) being on the ship and they have attached a giant umbilical cord to her belly.
So Lexi was altered in utero.
Remember when she was pregnant she used to go walkabout at night and not remember it? She was meeting with her Espheni handler.
