The brooding yet handsome, MAX EVANS, quickly rushes over and places his hand on Liz's gunshot wound. Liz and Max share a soulful connection as Max mysteriously heals Liz. Max pleads for Liz not to say anything, as he exits. Liz later discovers a silver handprint has been imprinted on her stomach where Max had healed her.

Needing a rational explanation, Liz confronts Max. Max confides to Liz he's from "up north." Liz realizes Max is an alien. Max swears Liz to secrecy saying his life in now in her hands.

Liz decides to guard Max's secret, and is forced to lie to the people she treasures most in her life including not only Maria, but also her boyfriend KYLE VALENTI, her own father and her other good friend ALEX WHITMAN.

Later when Kyle's father, and Roswell's sheriff, JIM VALENTI, becomes suspicious of what happened at The Crashdown, he questions Liz about Max. When Liz denies knowing anything, Valenti shows her a photo of a dead man from 1959. Valenti explains to Liz the man in the photo also had the same hand-print that Kyle said he saw earlier on Liz's stomach. Liz shows Valenti her stomach, and we see the handprint is gone. Valenti has no other choice than to let Liz go.

Now frightened of what she found out, Liz has gone to Max saying she wants to know everything. Max explains he doesn't know where he's from. He then explains and demonstrates his power to change molecular structure, which is why he was able to heal her wound. Max explains they came out of incubation pods looking like six-year old humans around ten years ago. Liz then questions Max's saying "they," and Max reveals his sister Isabel and best friend Michael are also aliens - the only ones of their kind on Earth. Liz then shares with Max the information about the photo Valenti showed to her, proving there may be others out there like them. Max runs off.

Not about to give up, Valenti decides to share what he knows with FBI AGENT STEPHENS. The Agent refutes the findings reminding Valenti that it was his own father's obsession with aliens that eventually cost him his career. Valenti protests saying maybe his father was right all along. At home, Maria confronts Liz telling her she knows when her best friend is lying to her. Maria demands to know what's going on and Liz decides to confide in Maria, telling her Max's secret.

Meanwhile, Max has gathered Isabel and Michael and has told them about Valenti's suspicions and the photograph. Max tells them it's time to leave Roswell. As the three aliens drive out of town, they run into Liz and Maria. Liz explains if they run, they'll only be proving Valenti's suspicions. Liz tells them she has a plan to get Valenti off their trail. Michael is skeptical, but Isabel, not wanting to leave the only home she's ever known, agrees to listen.

Later at the UFO Crashdown Festival, the kids are able to throw Valenti off their track. Valenti tells Max it's not over, and he intends on finding out the truth.

Liz and Max share a moment alone, and she thanks him for saving her life. Liz then questions whether the two of them can ever be together, and wishing they could, Max says he doesn't think it would be safe. The two agree to never be together, but inside, each feel an emotional connection no one will ever be able to deny.

Maria shares her fears with Liz about the aliens, who she refers to as "Czechoslovakians." Liz tells Maria there's nothing to worry about, but when Liz meets her new Geometry substitute, MS. TOPOLSKY, who seems to know little about Geometry, Liz herself becomes suspicious. Liz's suspicions are further raised when Topolsky questions Max as to Michael's whereabouts.

Liz also goes to Michael telling him about Topolsky, and Michael questions her about the photo Valenti had shown her. Michael decides to break into Valenti's office to find the photo. Once there, Michael finds a key that instantly causes him to have a flash of an unclear vision.

Later, Max and Liz overhear Topolsky revealing a further interest in Michael, but all suspicions are resolved when Topolsky reveals she's the new guidance counselor and was only concerned about Michael's lack of attendance at school.

FBI Agent Stephens meets with Valenti to tell him his findings were found insufficient. Agent Stephens then proceeds to clear out Valenti's office of all UFO related files. Although Valenti had managed to hold on to a key whose origin is a mystery to him, he is later surprised to find the key is missing.

Isabel goes to Max saying she doesn't trust Maria to keep their secret, but Max assures her he trusts Liz to help.

Isabel makes the decision to "dreamwalk" Maria (Isabel enters Maria's dream) to find out what she's thinking. In the dream, Isabel realizes that Maria wants to tell Valenti everything she knows about the aliens.

Maria becomes visibly distressed, when Valenti mentions he wants her to come in to discuss the accident. Liz urges Maria to stay in control, but Maria isn't sure she can pull through. Maria reveals to Liz she's torn, and can't promise she won't tell Valenti everything. Maria finds out for the first time, that Liz is also scared.

On her way to Valenti's office, Maria witnesses Isabel sharing a tender moment with her mother, DIANE EVANS, and realizes Isabel may not be all that different from herself. The stakes now high, Maria goes to her interrogation with Valenti. When Valenti warns Maria he doesn't want any more families destroyed, Maria remembers Isabel with her mother and successfully stonewalls Valenti.

Meanwhile, Max has accepted a job at the local UFO museum with Curator, MILTON ROSS, in order to find out all he can about the Crash.

Meanwhile, Liz is delighted by the arrival of her grandmother CLAUDIA, whom she's always admired. Coming home from a date with Kyle, Liz finds out her grandmother has had a stroke and is in a coma. Liz leaves an emotional message on Max's answering machine, asking him to come see her at the hospital. Max, torn by his recent decision and his true feelings for Liz, reluctantly arrives at the hospital. Once there, Kyle sees Max and warns him to stay away from Liz.

Meanwhile, Michael begins to exact his own form of revenge by playing practical jokes on the jocks that beat up Max. Max becomes enraged when he realizes what Michael has been doing, and tells him he's only jeopardizing their identity. Michael lashes back that Max has already done that by saving Liz's life, which further confirms Max's feeling that he should stay away from Liz.

Liz finds Max and asks him if he can save her grandmother. Max explains that he was able to save her when she got shot because it wasn't her time to die. Max tells Liz he can't stop what's happening to her grandmother, because he's not God. Liz then finds out Kyle's friends beat Max up.

At the hospital, Liz blows up at Kyle who swears he knew nothing about the beating. Not being able to fight her true feelings for Max, Liz breaks up with Kyle. After Kyle leaves, Max arrives telling Liz although he can't save her grandmother, he might be able to help Liz say goodbye.

Max establishes a connection with Grandma Claudia, and her ghostly form appears. Liz tells Claudia how much she's always admired her, and Claudia responds by making Liz promise to follow her heart. Liz and Grandma say good-bye, before Grandma Claudia dies.

Liz tells Maria about her missing diary, and Maria offers to help. Maria ends up hurting their good friend Alex, by making the false accusation that he took the diary. Upset, Alex confides in Topolsky about the missing diary. Topolsky then places a call to a government agent she is secretly working for, telling them she wants to find the diary herself.

While Max is perusing through UFO books at the museum, Liz tells him her diary is missing promising she will find it soon. Max places his trust in Liz, but is clearly nervous. To take his mind off the matter at hand, Max begins reading a book on an infamous UFO-ologist, James Atherton.

Later, when Max becomes suspicious that Kyle may have taken Liz's diary, he and Liz break into the Valenti home to search for the book. Unsuccessful, the two nearly escape Kyle's return home while unbeknownst to them, a mystery man was also searching for the same item.

Max confesses to Isabel and Michael about Liz misplacing her diary. Michael then goes to visit Liz at The Crashdown, and reveals he was the one that took the diary. Michael explains to Liz he wanted to make sure the contents wouldn't jeopardize their lives. Michael realizes Liz has only written her own personal thoughts, rather than facts about the aliens.

Meanwhile, the visions Michael received from holding the key he took from Valenti's office become clearer. Michael becomes obsessed with figuring out what he's seeing, and begins to draw out a dome-like object. He confides in Max and Isabel his feelings it has to do with the fourth alien. Michael realizes what he's been drawing is a geodesic dome, and tells Max and Isabel the key he stole from Valenti's office must open a door to a dome. While leafing through Max's UFO book, Isabel notices Michael's drawing is the same as the geodesic dome house belonging to James Atherton.

Michael explains to Max he wants to pursue the address of Atherton, which is in Marathon, Texas. Max tells Michael they need to stay low, especially with the suspicious Valenti around. Michael steals Maria's car, with an unwilling Maria inside. The two argue the entire way, until Maria realizes that Michael is just trying to find out who he is, and where he came from. When Maria's car breaks down, the two are forced to spend the night in a motel room.

When Max, Liz and Isabel discover Michael and Maria missing, they decide to go after them. Isabel is uncertain about Liz's involvement, but Liz is insistent on going. Overhearing Kyle discuss Liz's odd actions, Valenti decides to privately join the search. Per Topolsky's orders, FBI AGENT MOSS shadows them all in his car.

On the road, Max, Liz and Isabel hit a roadblock. Isabel ventures out to find out how long they will be detained, and Max takes a moment alone to apologize to Liz for all he's gotten her into. Liz apologizes in turn about possibly exposing them. Interrupting their romantic moment, Isabel points out Maria's Jetta at a motel parking lot.

The three burst into the room, to find Maria and Michael lying on the floor. The situation is compromised further by the arrival of Kyle. Michael orders Kyle to get out, and the confrontation becomes physical. Liz tells Kyle they're no longer together, and he should go home.

Kyle leaves, and Liz demands to know everything that is going on. Max, Michael and Isabel explain the significance of the key and the dome, and how it could give them answers into their existence. Liz feels they should all pursue the dome together.

As they reach the dome, they realize the key Michael took from Valenti's wasn't to the front door, but to a secret room that contains documents on UFO's and the 1947 crash. The kids then hear Valenti walking around above them, and they wait in silence while searching for a way out. We then see Topolsky drop-kick Valenti from behind, as we're - TO BE CONTINUED...

Later at school, Liz confronts Kyle asking him to keep quiet about what happened in Texas. Kyle agrees but promises he's going to bury Max Evans someday.

As Max and Isabel arrive home from school, they discover Sheriff Valenti at their home. Valenti tells them they have been robbed, and Max and Isabel soon discover the Atherton files have been stolen. During the robbery investigation, Deputy Blackwood makes a comment to Isabel about her pendant saying he hasn't seen that symbol since his days on the reservation. Feeling the aliens are being watched, Liz volunteers to take the pendant to the reservation to see what information she can obtain about the symbol. Her quest leads her to a Native American man, RIVER DOG, who warns her the symbol means death. Liz runs off in fear.

The next day an Indian teen, EDDIE, tells Liz that River Dog wants to meet her again. Michael and Isabel stage a fake-out for Topolsky, who they have discovered is secretly following them, as Max and Liz go to the reservation. Eddie greets Max and Liz telling them there will be a test once they meet River Dog. After Eddie abandons them, Liz and Max discover a cave. When Max uses his powers to light up the cave, River Dog tells Max he has passed the test.

River Dog then shows Max and Liz a cave painting containing symbols familiar to Max. River Dog tells them the fourth alien, Nasedo, who lived among his tribe until Atherton came, was the one who did the painting. River Dog also explains Nasedo and Atherton became quick friends, but for reasons unknown to him, Nasedo killed Atherton. As they leave, Max holds out his hand to Liz. River Dog stops Liz warning her to be cautious of Max. Liz makes the choice to accept Max's hand and they leave the cave together.

Back at The Crashdown, Michael and Maria's bickering leads to a moment of passion — and a first kiss.

Valenti confronts Topolsky, telling her he knows she was the one who knocked him out at the dome. He further tells her he knows she's a federal agent, and threatens to expose her. Topolsky offers the two work side by side.

Michael and Isabel rush in to see a nurse drawing Max's blood. The kids realize a simple blood test could jeopardize their cover as humans, and decide to turn to Alex for help. At school, Topolsky learns Max is in the hospital and instructs one of her agents to check out the situation.

As Michael and an FBI Agent both race to snag Max's blood sample, Liz and Isabel draw a confused Alex's blood. Michael is successful in replacing Max's blood sample with Alex's. As he leaves, Michael notices a man in a suit looking at Max's chart.

Now desperately wanting to tell Alex the truth about the aliens, Liz goes to Max who tells her involving Alex would not be a good idea. Unsatisfied with Liz's excuses, Alex jumps to the conclusion they are all involved in drugs.

After observing Alex's odd behavior at school, Topolsky fingers him as a suspect for replacing Max's blood. Through the use of drugs Topolsky is able to get a sample of Alex's blood in order to compare it with the blood she stole from the hospital. Meanwhile, the kids follow one of the men Michael saw at the hospital to his motel room. They break in looking for clues to his identity, and discover the man is an FBI agent working for an Agent Topolsky. The kids realize Topolsky is not a guidance counselor, but a federal agent.

Isabel tells Max she saw Alex talking with Topolsky at school. Max goes to Liz, who realizes she needs to contain Alex before Topolsky can crack him. Alex is soon caught between Topolsky and his friends. Alex decides to trust Liz, and the two forge a plan to turn the tables on Topolsky by exposing her as an FBI agent. Once exposed, Topolsky leaves Roswell with a warning to Liz that there will be others who will come to investigate Max. Alex tells Liz with their friendship on the line, he demands to know the truth about what has been going on. Alex is disappointed in Liz who won't reveal the truth.

As Michael and Maria continue their passionate relationship, Liz begins to notice everyone around her has paired up including her former boyfriend, Kyle and even Sheriff Valenti who has begun to date Maria's mom, AMY DELUCA.

Feeling her life is at a standstill, Liz confronts Max about moving their relationship forward. Max eventually asks Liz to meet him at a dance that's being held later in the week.

Meanwhile, Valenti questions Alex about the sudden departure of Ms. Topolsky. Isabel then decides to dreamwalk Alex in order to find out what Alex has told. In the dreamwalk, Isabel discovers Alex has romantic feelings for her. The next day at school, Isabel decides to invite Alex to the dance.

At the dance, Maria pushes Michael to make some type of commitment. Not wanting to be emotionally involved, Michael backs away from Maria.

A fire breaks out at the dance, bringing in Sheriff Valenti. Catching Liz and Alex with liquor, Valenti sees it as an opportunity to hold them in jail overnight hoping one of them will talk about his suspicions of Max. Liz realizes she must tell Alex the truth about the aliens, in order to save Max from Valenti. Not sure what to believe, Alex tells Liz that he believes she believes what she told him. Liz tells Alex she's through lying to him, and the two are trusted friends once again.

Coming home from their date, Max and Liz discover Michael lying sick in bed. Max discovers that Michael went to the reservation and participated in a sweat with River Dog.

Max and Liz drive back to reservation where Eddie tells them River Dog is gone. Max and Liz decide to wait until River Dog returns, hoping he will tell them what's wrong with Michael. As Liz and Max wait for River Dog, Max tells Liz about the first time he and Isabel saw Michael in the desert, just after emerging from their incubation pods. Max says he held out his hand for Michael to join them, but Michael ran off into the desert. Max and Isabel then didn't see Michael again for three years.

Back in Roswell, Maria helps Isabel take care of Michael who has begun to hallucinate. Michael sees himself in the desert, surrounded by the symbols of the cave painting. Michael follows the symbols to a sepulcher, which contains himself inside.

Max and Liz soon find River Dog, who tells them to bring Michael to him at the cave. Once there, River Dog surrounds Michael's body with stones the fourth alien, Nasedo gave him. River Dog tells them the stones are from their home planet. River Dog explains Nasedo went through a similar sickness, and was healed with the stones. Max, Liz, Maria, Isabel and Alex must all hold the stones to restore Michael's balance. Liz, scared by all of the events of the past few days, hesitates at participating. Max painfully understands, but leads the rest of them through the process in order to save Michael's life. Michael awakens and points to the symbols of the cave painting, explaining it's a map.

Once home, Liz mulls over her lack of nerve at the cave. Max interrupts her, and the two discuss what happened. Max tells Liz that after they kissed for the first time, he forgot anything else existed. Max further explains that's not the kind of world he can afford to live in, and gently floats the idea they should take a step back to examine what is going on in their lives. Liz realizes this means they need to stop seeing each other. Max and Liz share a goodbye kiss.

Isabel and Max fight over telling Diane the truth. Isabel insists it is not purely Max's decision to make, but hers as well. Max comes out as the leader insisting they not tell her.

As Diane sits watching old family videos, she finds one where young Max saves a bird using his powers. Diane confronts Max again who only runs out saying maybe it would be better if he just left their home for good.

Isabel, Max and Michael have another fight over telling Diane the truth. Isabel states that their mother loves them, unconditionally, but Michael interrupts saying there is no such thing as unconditional love.

Max considers this, and goes to see Diane in the park. He explains to her that he does have a secret, but he can't tell her what it is. Max tells Diane she is his mother, and their house is his home so he hopes she can understand and respect his decision. Fearing she'll lose the son she has come to love as her own, Diane tells Max it doesn't matter who he is, and that she loves and trusts him. Max goes to Isabel telling her their secret is still safe. Isabel is upset when she realizes Max means he decided not to tell Diane the truth.

Meanwhile, Valenti snoops around looking for information from Diane about how Max was able to put out the fire. Diane protects Max, even though she's not sure herself what happened.

Feeling distraught over her break-up with Max, Liz goes to Kyle to try and mend their friendship.

Michael uses his hands, not his powers, to make a napkin holder for Maria. He tells her it's to thank her for what she did for him when he was sick.

Liz and Maria accompany Liz's father on the camping trip. Once there, the two realize Max needs help and decide to get involved in the search for the UFO sight.

Valenti also accompanies Kyle on the trip, but is torn between work and his son when he realizes he can use the weekend to spy on Max. Valenti follows the kids into the woods as they begin their search for the UFO sighting.

Meanwhile, River Dog comes to Michael telling him the UFO sighting was real. He and Michael venture out to investigate, only to run into Max and Isabel at the place of the sighting. Together, they discover a symbol burnt into the ground. When Valenti finds the kids and River Dog in the woods, Max makes the symbol disappear and pretends to be lost.

Confused, Valenti visits his father in the nursing home, telling him he thinks he may have been right all along — that there is alien life in Roswell.

Valenti soon discovers EVERETT HUBBLE, the man who ruined his own father's career, has come to town for the convention. Thanks to the two civilians ramblings, Hubble becomes suspicious of Max and kidnaps him. Holding him at gunpoint, Hubble tells Max he believes he is the same shape shifter who killed his wife many years ago.

Max insists his innocence, as Michael shows up to create a diversion. Valenti then comes to the rescue, shooting Hubble dead. Valenti tells Max and Michael to leave, and Max tells Michael he is suspicious the fourth alien may really be a killer.

Meanwhile, Isabel tells Alex to stop following her around and Michael meets Maria's mom for the first time.

Unable to forget his feelings for Liz, Max is peer pressured into drinking by Kyle. Max, who has never taken a drink before, becomes drunk with one sip. Max and Kyle bond, as they discuss how each of them can't seem to get over their feelings for Liz.

Max and Kyle follow Liz on her date. Still drunk, Max publicly professes the way he feels for Liz. Max then kisses Liz, which instantly sobers him up. Liz asks Max if he meant everything he told her, and Max reveals he can't remember what he said.

Meanwhile, Alex's band wins a part in the radio contest. When their lead singer becomes ill, Maria persuades Alex to let her sing lead. Maria soon realizes she must overcome a sudden case of stage fright in order to perform.

Tried of waiting for Max, Michael tells Isabel he's going to search for Nasedo on his own. Worried that Michael might get in trouble, Isabel agrees to join him. Together, they discover they can send a signal to contact Nasedo. Just after they realize their signal was unsuccessful, a shadowy figure appears before the signal holding a photo of Max, Michael and Isabel. Nasedo is in Roswell.

Feeling isolated, Michael struggles with not having a real family like what he witnesses at the Evans. Michael goes to Maria for comfort, but is thrown out by Maria's mom. Michael then considers leaving Roswell in search of his real family and Nasedo.

Once on the road, Michael realizes Max and Isabel are his real family, and returns to Roswell. Max's father then helps Michael gain emancipation.

Meanwhile, Sheriff Valenti and Amy attempt to take their relationship a step further. Amy comes to realize that Sheriff Valenti only has time for his job.

In the end, we see Michael's foster father shape shifting into someone else. We come to realize the fourth alien, Nasedo, had killed Michael's foster father after he learned of the beating.

With each new kiss, the visions become stronger and Liz soon feels the visions may contain clues into Max's past. When Liz recognizes a star cluster she saw from a vision, she tells Max she thinks the visions may be from the crash of 1947.

Liz also goes to Michael telling him about Topolsky, and Michael questions her about the photo Valenti had shown her. Michael decides to break into Valenti's office to find the photo. Once there, Michael finds a key that instantly causes him to have a flash of an unclear vision.

Wanting to find the true origin of the visions, Max and Liz decide to take the sexual relationship further. The clues they receive lead them into the desert just a few miles away from the crash site. The two are just about to consummate their relationship, when Liz hears a constant beeping she recognizes from the visions. Liz and Max dig up an alien orb with a glowing symbol on top. Exhausted by the previous events, Liz and Max fall asleep in the desert only to be awakened by a strange man who unbeknownst to them is Nasedo.

Meanwhile, Maria lies to Michael about having visions herself in order to bring the two closer together. Alex also offers himself to Isabel for testing, and the two share their first kiss.

Max disbelieves Topolsky, who then goes to Valenti telling him the same tale. Valenti, who fears she may just be crazy, calls FBI Agent Stephens to check out the story. Valenti learns that Agent Stephens has recently been killed.

Desperate for someone to believe her, Topolsky goes to Michael telling him she has a communicator, an orb, from his planet. Topolsky further tells Michael if he wants to know everything she knows, he should bring the orb Max and Liz have, and meet her later. Michael tells Max who says to let it go. Again tired of Max not wanting to proceed, Michael steals the orb and he and Maria run off to meet Topolsky.

Learning of his betrayal, an angry Max follows Michael and Maria. Max and Michael get into a fight, and the orb is thrown from their reach. Suddenly, Valenti and a DOCTOR MARGOLIS show up to inform the kids that Topolsky had escaped from an insane asylum, and everything she has been telling them has been a lie. Before leaving, Valenti discovers the orb and puts it in his pocket.

We later discover Doctor Margolis was actually Nasedo who had shape shifted in order to get Valenti off the kid's track. At the same time, Topolsky is kidnapped by her own people.

Meanwhile, Isabel has befriended a new girl at school, Tess, whom Maria and Michael fear may have eyes for Max.

Isabel and Michael each explore Tess's identity, but neither can prove she is anything but a normal high school student.

After Michael and Max discover a hidden video camera in Michael's apartment, they think it might have come from Tess.

Liz decides to take the camera to hide in Tess's home. There she meets Tess's strange father, ED HARDING, who insists Liz stay for dinner. As Liz strategically places the camera, she breaks a precious statue. Michael, Isabel, Maria and Alex watch as the camera goes blank.

Fearing she may be in trouble, the kids go to rescue Liz from the Harding residence. After a successful rescue, the kids all watch as Tess reconstructs the statue using alien powers, revealing she is the fourth alien.

Meanwhile, when Valenti checks up on Topolsky at the mental hospital he realizes she's been killed. Feeling the kids may be in real danger, Valenti decides he may be the only one to protect them. Wanting to gain their trust Valenti takes the communicator (orb) back to Max.

Michael and Isabel begin having sexual dreams about each other confusing their relationship, which has always been like brother and sister. Not wanting to act on their feelings, each pursues a stronger relationship with a human - Michael with Maria, and Isabel with Alex.

While visiting Isabel, Tess plays with her mind. She creates a four square of sugar cubes telling Isabel everything may not always appear what it seems.

Max and Liz decide to follow Tess and witness her taking a secret book from the library.

Wanting to know everything, Max drives with Tess into the desert. Once there, Tess shows Max the book she took explaining it contains information about their destinies. Still thinking she's the shape-shifter Nasedo, Max demands to know what Tess is. Tess insists she's just like Max, but he tells her he's not a killer like her. Tess then explains to Max she's not Nasedo. She says she was left behind when Max, Michael and Isabel came out of the pods. Tess tells Max that Nasedo, who has been posing as Ed Harding, her father, is the one who found her. Tess tells Max she can show him the pod chamber where they were born.

A new deputy, Fisher, begins working for Valenti.

Wanting to flush out Pierce, Nasedo takes the form of Max and kidnaps Liz. Once on the road, Nasedo-Max leaves clues as to where he can be found. Liz soon realizes the man she's with is not the real Max.

Max goes after Nasedo-Max not trusting he won't hurt Liz in his quest to draw out Agent Pierce. Max follows their clues to a carnival outside of Roswell.

Frightened for Liz's life, Maria and Alex tell Valenti that Max has kidnapped Liz. Valenti goes after Max, and follows him into a house of mirrors at the carnival. Valenti is then confused when he sees not only FBI agents running around but also two of Max. When Deputy Fisher shows up, he throws off the FBI agents by shooting the glass. Valenti watches as the FBI agents capture Max, but is unsure of which Max they actually have.

Later, while watching through a glass mirror, we reveal the alien hunter Agent Pierce is actually Deputy Fisher. Pierce tells his agents they will wait until morning to begin their interrogation of the subject, who we reveal is the real Max.

Michael, Isabel, Nasedo and Tess join forces to save Max. Nasedo teaches Michael that he has more power than he ever knew; he just needs to learn how to channel it. Tess also reveals she has the ability to mind warp people, causing them to see what's not really there.

Michael and Nasedo rescue Max with the help of Isabel and Tess's powers, but Nasedo has to stay behind to let Max and Michael fully escape. Pierce shoots Nasedo, who goes down.

Meanwhile, fearing for Max's life Liz goes to Valenti. She tells him the FBI has the real Max as he originally thought. Valenti shows up just as Michael is carrying out Max, and helps them escape by shooting Agent Pierce in the arm.

Fearing Max and Liz may have been caught, Valenti and Michael go in search of them. Michael has to use his powers in front of Valenti in order to rescue Max and Liz from the FBI agents. Valenti soon discovers the true alien identities of Max, Michael, Isabel and Tess.

Max then devises a plan to capture Agent Pierce by using Valenti as a decoy. With Pierce in their hands, Max turns the tables and interrogates Pierce as to the whereabouts of the missing Nasedo.

Meanwhile, while looking for his father Kyle discovers a tied-up Pierce. Still thinking he's Deputy Fisher, Kyle releases Pierce. Pierce then tells Kyle to hide.

When Valenti, Max and Michael return, Pierce pulls out his gun preparing to kill the aliens. Valenti gets a shot off, but misses. Michael, seeing Pierce's gun aimed at Valenti, uses his powers and accidentally kills Pierce. Valenti soon discovers his one gunshot has hit Kyle. Max saves Kyle's life, and Valenti swears he'll be indebted to them forever.

Meanwhile, Isabel had successfully dreamwalked Pierce and has the information of Nasedo's whereabouts. Isabel tells Tess she fears Nasedo might be dead. Tess reveals she knows a way the four aliens can revive Nasedo. Wanting to be with Max, Liz goes with the four.
