What happened in Resident Alien season 2?

After season 1 of the series concluded, Harry had given up on trying to return to his home planet when he learned about Max secretly boarding the spacecraft. While Max was fine, Harry's invisible spaceship was stuck in the outfield of a Patience playground at the beginning of season 2.

When Harry (Alan Tudyk) awakes in a nearby town's hospital, the medical staff determines that the man claiming to be an extraterrestrial is just another ordinary man who suffered a severe head injury, causing him amnesia. In the meantime, Harry initially insists that Asta is not Harry but rather Lennie Briscoe, a law and order detective.

Harry begins to understand that his stay on the earth has resulted in his transformation into an alien with human memories. In season 2, the memory plays an important role as he grapples with how strong these good and bad memories are connected to emotion, ( given he's been having telepathic conversations with an octopus).

While he deals with Harry's life and relationships, he realizes that there are new and real threats to human existence. He struggles with this developing connection with the earth and its people throughout 16 episodes.

The Greys revealed that they were having Ben's baby. They stole the fetus from her womb and were raising it on a ship in an artificial womb. This makes the audience question the intentions of the Greys for the baby.

There are possibilities of it being related to Max, either because he might be a hybrid, or because he could see through alien disguises and cloaking devices.
