Once inside Max reveals Nasado is dead. Max collapses. Alex and Liz help him up and into a chair. Everyone gathers around. Michael suggests they get Nasedo to the pod chamber to use the healing stones to revive him. Liz notices a cut on Max's cheek Tess heals it. The pod squad leaves.
The Pod Squad arrives at the Pod Chamber with Nasedo. They use the stones and they glow brightly, then slowly fade. Max explains everything that happened. Michael tells about the skin thing he found be Pierce's grave Nasado's body slowly dissolves into dust. All look at Max for guidance.
~ Opening Credits ~
We see a bus pull up to the Roswell Bus Depot. Kyle gets off the bus, having spent his summer at football camp. He looks around for his dad, who is nowhere to be seen. A couple hours later, Sheriff Valenti finally shows up. They talk. Kyle is acting strange, saying strange things. Kyle walks to the car, leaving Sheriff Valenti with a puzzled look on his face.
Michael and Isabel are talking in the hallway at school. He's mad cause they are in school and not out looking for Nasado's killer. Isabel asks him not to bring her in to the middle of it. Max walks up to them. Michael takes off. Max and Isabel have a quick chat then part ways.
Max walks through the halls. We see him through the skin's eyes. Max feels like he's being watches and ducks behind a corner. He slowly looks back and sees the door to the storage room close. He walks up to the room, opens the door quickly, and creates an energy field between himself and the person in front of him... who happens to be a welder with his mask on. Welder takes off his mask and looks at it funny.
In history class, Mr. Lafeber is talking about the leadership skills of John F. Kennedy. Max can relate.
Max arrives at the UFO Center. There are movers milling about, moving lots of crates inside. Brody Davis, the new owner, walks up to him. Max is confused about everything. Brody asks him to leave.
Max is on his way home when he sees Tess sitting on a bench gazing up at the stars. He stops to talk to her. They talk about Nasado. Switch to Maria and Liz in Maria's car. They're talking about Max and Liz. Maria happens to drive by and sees Max and Tess walking together along the street. Liz looks out the window and sees them together she looks hurt.
Switch back to Max and Tess' conversation. She says she remembers a time when Max loved her. Tess reaches out to touch Max's cheek. He lifts his hand to her hand and slowly removes it from his face. There is a noise from inside the house. Max and Tess enter her house and Max races through to the back. The back gate swings slowly as Max reaches it. Max examines the bushes nearby and finds a piece of shedded skin.
It's late at night at the Valenti residence. Sheriff Valenti hears some noise and grabs his gun. He slowly opens the door and finds Max and Tess on his front porch. They ask for his help.
Morning at the Valenti household... Kyle's alarm goes off and he rolls out of bed and immediately does some pushups. Kyle walks out of his bedroom, looks around, and does a double take as he sees Tess sleeping on the couch. She wakes up and explains that she lives there. Tess looks at Kyle's boxers. She snaps them and says "I approve".
Congresswoman Whitaker arrives at her office, where Liz is already hard at work. She asks if there were any calls. Whitaker enters her room. Liz takes a moment to come up with a reason why Pierce won't be stopping by anymore. She tells Whitaker Pierce left a voice mail breaking up with her and she erased it. Whitaker seems upset.
In history class, Mr. Lafeber is discussing more of the Cuban Missile Crisis. At the UFO Center, Max decides to take a look around. He breaks into Brody's secure area. Among other things, he sees a map on the monitor screen with a note at Roswell, New Mexico: Pulse detected 4:33 pm, May 14th. He also sees a pentagram device and reaches out to touch it. Brody walks in he fires Max.
Maria pays a visit to Liz at Whitaker's office the next morning. They discuss Max and Tess. Maria leaves and Liz goes back to work. She hears a grinding noise coming from Congresswoman Whitaker's room and decides to investigate. She knocks on the door before entering, and finds Congresswoman Whitaker drinking alcohol while shredding some files. The phone rings in the outer room. After Liz leaves the room, Congresswoman Whitaker's face darkens. She was obviously pumping Liz for information.
Kyle strolls into his room to find Tess on his bed reading one of his magazines in his jersey. He yells at her. Tess starts to take off Kyle's jersey. He stops her. She says something about his dirty magazines. He says something offensive to her. She says jokingly "Keep talking to me like that and I'll slag you with my death-ray eyes." Kyle looks a bit nervous. She says something about Buddhists. Kyle questions her knowing about that. She tells him about the book under his bed. He tells her not to tell anyone about that. Then says something about needing a "piece of mind." Tess is mad, she leaves. Kyle is taken aback by her comments. He didn't realize she might be going through the same thing he is.
At some bleachers, Max explains to Michael and Isabel what happened to him at the UFO Center. Max and Michael argue. As expected, Michael disobeys Max's orders and goes to the UFO Center to investigate. Hiding behind one of the exhibits, he sees Brody walk out of a room with the pentagram device in his hand. It starts making some noises and then releases a blue blast of energy which knocks Michael across the room. Brody is surprised that someone was in the UFO Center and rushes over to where Michael landed. Michael, visibly hurt, limps out of the UFO Center.
Back at the Evans household, Isabel is checking to see if Michael is ok. Max starts to lecture Michael but Isabel stops him. Isabel says they have to kill Brody. Max looks uncertain.
The following day in History class, Mr. Lafeber continues the series on John F. Kennedy. Max is discussing his JFK and problem with Maria. Maria is confused, she grabs a book and pretends to whack Max with it a few times. She starts to talk about Tess and how she and Liz saw them the other night. He says there's nothing going on between them and that he loves Liz. Maria tells him to do something about that fast.
Max, Michael, and Isabel prepare to enter the UFO Center and deal with Brody. As Max walks through the exhibit hall, he gets continuous flashes of Pierce being thrown across the room as Michael unleashes his power, Hubble being shot, Liz being shot, and himself being tortured in the white room. He then starts seeing images of JFK along with those other images, and realizes he can't let the situation dictate his course of action. Max erects a force field between himself and Michael and Isabel to prevent them from proceeding further. Brody reaches for the pentagram device and Max grabs his arm. Brody says he's an abductee who wants to establish contact with the aliens again. Max releases Brody's arm. Max motions toward the pentagram device he asks about it. Brody says he go it from some guy who deals in supposed alien artifacts. And that on May 14th it sent out this pulse. We see Michael and Isabel listening in on the conversation.
Max, Michael, and Isabel leave the UFO Center. Isabel reaches her hand around and hugs Max, glad that they didn't have to kill Brody. Michael looks a bit sheepish, realizing that Max was right. We realize the skin is looking at them as they walk from the UFO Center to the Crashdown.
At the Crashdown, Max and Isabel explain to Alex and Tess what happened. Kyle enters the Crashdown and motions for Tess to walk over to him. Tess walks over to Kyle. He tells her she can take his room. She thanks him. Michael just finished an order and waits for someone to pick it up. Courtney walks over and talks to him. Maria interrupts, Courtney picks up the order and leaves, while Michael goes back to the kitchen, obviously trying to avoid Maria.
Liz enters the Crashdown. She sees Max and Tess together. Max is frozen for a moment, and then walks after her. Max basically tells her that he's not gonna forget about her or get over her. And that he doesn't care about his destiny or his planet or anything else. All he cares about is her. Max walks back to the table. Maria compliments him.
Courtney walks up to Maria. She needs to use the rest room. She asks Maria to cover for her. Courtney closes the door behind her, locks it, and immediately goes to the mirror. She digs her nails into her neck and pulls off a piece of skin from her face. She then drops the skin in the toilet and flushes it down the drain.
The End
