I loved that we got a really long section of last day events in the beginning of the episode. Seeing Mother soaring over a mega-city in the last one was just a hint of what was to come and honestly, we deserved finding out of how bad things had gotten in the cradle of the humanity.
To my mind, by the time Sol worshippers left Terra there was still a lot of things that could have helped humans to survive the end of days. I cannot think a single thing that says otherwise, and even if there were fleets of terrifying Necromancers making life difficult, the war was still going - with no clear winner in the sight - when they left Earth.
And from seeing medical androids still functioning and being on the side of real living humans, just strengthens the idea that humanity survived. We are difficult to destroy as Father said. But if the Ark mission was a glorious Hail Mary plan of the last of humanity, it failed.
The Ark and androids scout vessel were both destroyed, making Kebler 22b a new home for a splinter group of religious fanatics and androids that claim to be atheist. Thing is, both Father and Mother as asking a lot of faith from both Campion and other kids. The Mother feels that she needs to protect the kids from the old humanity. From the corruption of old ideas and the package of history that comes with it.
It's just we all have same DNA, a code that makes us humans, and in it is things that we cannot get rid of like for example the nature of violence. It is part of us. We are not Zen without being able to defend us from whatever Mother Nature throws at us. Being it natural events, or hostile species.
I feel this is the point where Father turned against Mother. It's clear that he understands the nature better than her. But frankly I don't get why they didn't figure out that the planet is alive and it has original species living in it?
Just look at those dragon bones. They are not fossilised. They are not part of stone. Instead, they look pretty fresh, just flesh stripped off their bones. What is interesting is that there are no mummies. No strips of flesh or skin hanging from anywhere. It is as if something had cleaned their bare, before they were laid to rest.
But the thing is, when the creatures attacked later on, Father said he wanted to study them if Mother had left any. He should have drawn more conclusions with his android brain. He should have understood that if there is one, there is another one.
