At the ending of Prometheus, Shaw is the last living human member who has survived. As Vickers dies, Shaw goes to the lifeboat and finds that her alien offspring is alive and has grown to be gigantic in size. David is severely damaged but still has an active head. He warns Shaw that the engineer is still pursuing her. The engineer forces the lifeboat’s airlock open and attacks Shaw. She releases her alien offspring onto the engineer which subdues him.
At the ending of Prometheus, Shaw recovers David’s remains and she launches another engineer spacecraft with his help. Instead of going to earth, she then sets off to reach the Engineers’ homeworld. Many viewers were left confused about this but she takes this decision in an attempt to understand why they wanted to destroy humanity.
