For example, In scene one , when Steve and Don were planning on going down town to report the power outage until, suddenly Les Goodman's car starts on its own even though everyone else's cars haven't been working. Everyone starts to question Les as if he was a monster. Anyway then one women says " Sometimes when I come home late at night, I see Les staring at the sky like he's looking for something ... like he's waiting for something." That had people curious why he had been staring into the night sky ,so the people started a watch party to keep an eye on Les even though he claimed to have insomnia Which starts hurting his friendships and breaks the given trust. Another scene that supports the theme is when in scene two when a shadowy figure approaches the neighborhood , and how Tommy insist its the alien and that's when Charlie's fear has him make an impulsive choice to shoot using Don's gun! Not knowing it was actually his neighbor Pete Van Horn. Charlies fear destroyed someones life and turned everyone against him.
