The first three episodes saw the introduction of the main characters from whose point of view the story unravels. We meet Sheriff John Bell Tyson (Sam Neil) in Idabel, Oklahoma, USA as he investigates a strange patch in a cornfield, which harbors something in its soil. Next, we saw Mitsuki Yamato (Shioli Kutsuna) in Tokyo, Japan who at JASA witnesses the loss of her lover, astronaut Hinata Murai (Rinko Kikuchi) as something unknown crashes into the shuttle in space, killing her. Also faced with baffling new conditions is Aneesha Malik (Golshifteh Farahani) and her family in Long Island, NY, USA. Casper Morrow (Billy Barratt) from London, England, UK is trapped in a ravine along with a few other students whose bus crashed as pieces of fiery metal fell from the sky causing the teacher to lose control over the vehicle.

Also having an encounter with the alien aircraft is Trevante Ward (Shamier Anderson), a US soldier stationed in the Kandahar Province in Afghanistan with his troop. In a horrifying incident, we see him lose the rest of his soldiers to a freak sand storm at the site of the ship after which he's left alone and wandering in the desert. The first three episodes of 'Invasion' unpacked a lot with fans who were eager to watch the sci-fi thriller binging the hour-long episodes.
