[ morning after ]

Liz is seen in her room looking through a telescope thinking to herself that she will never look at stars the same way again, nor will she look at anything else for that matter. Her mind is on Max as she wonders if he is excruciating over their fortune and relationship as she is about them. As she is thinking this, the camera fades into Max's room where he is asleep. A small noise awakens him and he stealthily grabs a flashlight and a baseball bat to sneak up on the intruder who is sneaking into his room through his window. Just when Max is about to strike, we see that the intruder was Michael. Max asks Michael if he had another argument with Hank, which Michael refutes, while Max rolls out a sleeping bag on the floor besides his bed for Michael to sleep on for the night. Max then subsides onto his bed and tries to sleep again until he notices that Michael is not sleeping. He turns resignedly to Michael and said that he was trying to get some sleep. Michael tells off Max for being able to sleep when they have just found out about the existence of a picture that proves the existence of others like themselves. Michael is excited about the possibility of being able to find out more about this other alien, what their roots are, even possibly being able to return home. Max listens, but he looks sceptical even as Michael remains convinced that the picture and possibly other information would point the direction to their history.

The next morning, we see Michael standing outside the Sheriff's office drinking a Pepsi as he surveys the building, noting the Sheriff's office window that is locked by a window gate. As the Sheriff's car approaches the building, Michael strolls off imperceptibly. Meanwhile, we see that Maria and Liz are getting ready in the dressing room at the Crashdown to begin their shift. Maria is asking Liz what she thinks the aliens look like, whether they can kill people, the range of their powers and other issues while Liz just calmly replies, "could be". Maria is so infuriated that she threatens to strangle Liz about what happened at the Crash festival. Subsequently a co-worker walks in and Liz warns Maria not to speak about aliens etc

The next scene opens up with them waiting on tables referring to Max and his legion as Czechoslovakians. Alex, their friend pops up behind them asking them who are the Czechoslovakians and Liz and Maria make up a story about a new kid in school who works in the hardware store. Just then, Maria looks out the window and sees Michael looking through at them. She confesses to Liz that she thinks Michael creeps her out and walks off to wait on tables.

The next day in Maths, Liz talks with her friends, but in the back of her mind, she is thinking about Max who is in the same class with her. She sneaks a look at him and remarks to herself that he has dreadfully expressive eyes. The bell rings and it looks like they will have a substitute teacher, a beautiful blond woman. The student in front of Max remarks to him that he wishes the teacher could be out longer so they can have the substitute teacher longer. The substitute teacher introduces herself to the class as Ms Topolsky to the class and then asks if in class believe in aliens since they do live in the town of Roswell. Max looks over at Liz and Liz casts a glance out of the corner of her eye at Max. Ms. Topolsky starts taking the register and ultimately reaches Michael. When Michael didn't respond, the teacher asks if anyone knew where he could be. The entire class sort of looked in the general direction of Max who says that it's probably because Michael isn't into geometry. The class laughs it off and the teacher too, but she has an odd expression on her face. After class, everyone leaves, Liz follows Max out and says hello to him, pretending that things are normal. Max greets her in return, but it is obvious that things aren't normal as seen by their common clumsiness around one another. Liz then asks in a lowered voice if Max thinks there is anything suspicious about the new substitute teacher and Max says he doesn't think so. But Liz points out that the substitute teacher seemed to have singled out Michael. Max replies that he thinks it's nothing. Just as they were about to talk more, Isabel walks up behind Max and takes him away from Liz

The scene then moves back to school where Maria and Liz are sitting in the quad eating their lunch. Maria wants to tell Alex about the Czechoslovakian because she is afraid that they could get soughed and that they don't really know all that much about the Czechoslovakian. Liz sympathetically says no, that no one must know. But Maria remains sceptical. They both looked over at Alex who was performing a strange double-jointed trick to impress some girls across the quad and Maria admitted that Alex wasn't really a James Bond.

Afterwards, as they are pulling books out of their lockers Maria warns Liz that Kyle is coming towards them. Liz moans aloud and Kyle walks up to Liz calling her his girl and saying that he wanted to discuss what happened to her that night at the alien-festival when she stood him up. Liz, not wanting to talk to Kyle too much about anything, makes some excuse to dash off when she saw the substitute teacher walking by. She ended up bumping into the substitute teacher and her papers fell to the floor. As Liz was helping the substitute teacher picked up her paper, she noticed Michael's file is there. After school, Liz walked over to the trailer park where Michael lives and knocked on his trailer. Michael's dad, Hank answers the door and he lets in Liz unintelligibly while she tries to ask him if Michael is home. Finally, Hank called for Michael and Michael, up on seeing Liz, took her outside his home. There, Liz told him that she thought he should know that the substitute teacher seems dreadfully interested to him, telling the story about the attendance in class and his file in her hands. Michael is slightly freaked out, but thanked Liz for the information while also makes an apology for any offence that her father made at her.

In the meantime in Sheriff's Valenti's office, the Sheriff is taking out his this alien file, sorting through the items in the folder, and take out a little envelope that contains a key. He places the key into his flask and that into his brown paper bag and into the side drawer of his desk. After, he walks out, just as Michael was coming out of a supermarket with a large brown paper bag. Michael walks casually into the Sheriff's office pretending to sell candy and tried to get into the Sheriff's office until the deputy who was in charge for the night stopped him. Another Sheriff arrived and Michael was finally told to leave which he did, unable to break into the sheriff's office as planned. He then heads off to the Evan's where he recounted his story, much to Max and Isabel's incredulity. Michael notices that Isabel was wearing a very revealing outfit and asks her why she is dressed like that. Isabel defensively stated that she had a date tonight and she liked the way life is at Roswell and doesn't want to have to run away all the time. Michael tries to convince Max to help him and use his powers to break into the Sheriff's office. Max listens and follows along with Michael's plan until he received a sharp glance from Isabel and then he told Michael that he doesn't think Michael's plan is possible. Michael then reveals that Liz told him something about people after him. Max was for a moment confused and Michael told him to and goes ask Liz. Just then, the Evans return home with two pizzas in hand, inviting Michael to stay over and have dinner with them, but Michael refuses by saying his dad was cooking tonight. Max and Isabel then joined their parents for dinner.

The next day in Maths, Ms Topolsky incorrectly taught the class that a triangle has 360 degrees when Liz corrected her and says it should have 180 degrees. The Ms Topolsky gropes a bit and Max is seen looking over at Liz. After class, Max asks Liz questions about how many files did she see Ms Topolsky holding, why she is so sure that the teacher is targeting Michael. Liz gets a little embarrassed and he's a little doubtful that Liz thinks that Ms Topolsky could be an alien hunter. He then informs Liz that he's thankful for her anxiety but everyone has to be careful and telling Michael. Liz apologizes. Later, as Max was walking outside the school quad, he notices that Ms Topolsky is talking to Sheriff Valenti. He stops and looks from a distance as the two seemed to appear on good terms and shaking hands. This stimulates his suspicion, making him start to believe a little of what Liz is suggesting.

In the next scenes, we see a note in Maria's hand. It's from Max to Liz asking her to meet him in the eraser room during 6th period. Liz is in the bathroom, applying her lipstick as Maria freaks out about the implication of Liz meeting Max in the eraser room, claiming that many girls have lost their blamelessness there. Liz tries to brush it off claiming that there is nothing between her and Max, as Max himself have said to her before. Maria has a sarcastic look on her face and they both leave the bathroom.

Sheriff Valenti is in his office when Agent Stevens enters. They do small talk and Valenti asks about Liz's dress. Stevens tells Valenti that ketchup and salt were found on the dress-no blood. Stevens goes on to say that a crash never occurred in 1947 in Roswell and that no aliens are living in the town now. Stevens then hands Valenti a warrant giving the FBI the right to seize any information concerning aliens or alien reports. Stevens then sends in his agents to get the files. Valenti accuses that blood was found on the dress or else the FBI wouldn't be concerned about removing those files from Roswell. Valenti hands his keys over to the file cabinet as he leaves his office, carelessly, taking the flask out of the brown lunch bag with him as he leaves. Outside, Michael spots Valenti walking out of his office carrying his brown paper bag.

The scene moves back to school where Liz is seen entering the Eraser room. Max is already inside, cleaning erasers. Liz made a small comment about this being the eraser room. Max said that he wanted someplace private to talk with Liz. Liz locks the door behind her and looks hopefully at Max. He walks past her to open a panel against the wall, revealing the counsellor's office behind a ventilation screen. He tells Liz that Ms Topolsky isn't who she appears to be. She will be off on the 6th and 7th period so he hopes they can find out more in this room as a keep under surveillance. A bit surprised by all this information, Liz walks over to Max by the ventilation holes. He crouches besides her as they both looked through the vent and while Liz is looking at the office below, Max looks at her longingly and said that they may be there for a while.

The scene returns to the eraser room. Max and Liz are sitting alongside talking. Liz is asking Max a lot of questions. She wonders aloud whether he is really a fifty-something year old guy trapped in a 16-year old body, or whether he ages differently, like one alien year to three human years. Max is smiling and says that she must think a lot about this stuff. Liz laughs a little and say, yeah, she does. Then she asked him Maria's question about whether he was green before he assumed human form. Max choked out the word green Liz says, yeah and asks him if he was slimy and stuff. Max says that he looked just normal, except for the third eye. Liz tried to be modest and says, "oh." Max then acts as if he's bending down and while he's bending, Liz leaned towards his back to peer around to look for what you call the 'third eye'. Max shot her a quick look to catch her in the act of staring at his back and smiled, telling her he was kidding. Liz laughs, punched him on the arm and called him a jerk. Max then got up from where he was seating and stood, looking toward the door and Liz kept talking, about how it must be so liberated to be like him, not noticeable unlike herself, which the whole town knows about and talks about. Max smiles at her when she is confessing this and tells her that sometimes, he wishes he wasn't too invisible. The two shared a look but Max suddenly looks at the ventilation area and subsequently he hears a noise. The Ms Topolsky has returned with another man. She says she will start first with Michael and asks the man to check his home address to make sure it is precise. Max and Liz leave immediately upon hearing this news.

The two drove to Liz father's restaurant where Max sees Michael outside. He tells Liz that he will be back in 5 minutes and she nods, quickly disappearing inside the restaurant. In the meantime, Michael is trying to tell Max that Max must help him break into the Sheriff's office because the central agents are removing them as they speak. Max tells Michael that the Ms Topolsky is going over to Michael's house and notifies Michael to lay low and go over to the Evan's where Isabel is waiting for them. Meanwhile Liz is inside the restaurant asking Maria to cover for her. Maria is a bit angry that Liz is asking her to do this when they are so busy, and blames it on the eraser room. Liz promises to explain everything later and she is about to leave when Alex who demands to be ambushed the two told the truth, expose their lies about the new kid who is a Czechoslovakian. Liz dragged Alex to a corner and tries to think of an excuse when Maria came up with one: which is 'Cramps'. The two ganged up on Alex and told him that they've been talking about cramps but didn't want to make Alex feel disgusted up by using codenames for it. They offer to tell Alex all he wants to know about cramps if that's his desire. Alex walks off appalled saying he still wants to eat. Liz thanks Maria and dashes off outside to the jeep where Max and Michael have been talking. Michel is accusing Max of trying to protect him and not ever thinking how life has been for Michael. Max denies this but it's obvious that there is a grain of truth in Michael allegation because Max looks guilty. Seeing Liz behind Max, Michael leaves.

Max and Liz then drive off to the trailer park. As they are driving off, Kyle spots Liz in Max's jeep and follows them in his car. When they reached the trailer park, Kyle watches as Max and Liz sit in the jeep and wonders what they are up to. Meanwhile Ms Topolsky has arrived at Michael's house and Liz leans closer to Max to get a better look Kyle, watching from behind, is getting the wrong idea that is Liz is 'cheating' on him. Liz drops her ring and reaches down by Max's feet to get it back Kyle, still watching from behind and still of what I wrote earlier, he's now shocked, and struggles to get out of the car as he keeps saying to himself that Liz should et up. He rushes over to Max's car to see that Liz is just leaning down. Both Max and Liz are surprised to see him there. Kyle asks Liz what she was doing and Liz replies that she dropped her ring. Throughout the entire conversation, Liz is whispering to Kyle and Kyle demands to know what she is doing there and why she is whispering. Liz makes up an excuse that she and Max are here, waiting for Michael so they can, go.... bowling, Max finishes. Kyle is feeling doubtful about them bowling, then Liz and Max affirm that yes, they were waiting for Michael so they can go bowling. Max sees Ms Topolsky is leaving so he quickly said "duck", which even Kyle did, although he isn't sure why, at exiting the trailer, notices Liz in the Jeep but didn't walk over but just drove away.

Max then drives Liz home and when they walked towards her house, Max suggested that maybe when this all blows over, Liz could have lunch with Max. Liz asks if he meant lunch in the cafeteria and he says yes, Liz says that it's a date, but quickly changes its to it's a lunch. Max says, yes, lunch. And they said good night. The two shared another look but Max sees Isabel waving anxiously behind Liz for him to close things up, so he bids her goodnight and left.

Once Liz is gone, Isabel quickly joins Max and says Michael is escaping. The two jump into his jeep and drive to the Sheriff's station. Michael is already there and has unlocked the window gate leading to the Sheriff's office with his power .By the time Max and Isabel got there, they see the window gate opened and the Sheriff' is driving back to the station. The two quickly devised a plan whereby Isabel walks in to the office to distract the Sheriff about a flat tire while Max climbs into the window to get Michael out. Michael is already inside, looking through the draws but finding nothing, until out of chance he stumbled on the brown paper bag with the flask inside. Feeling something pulling him, he opens the bag and finds the key that fills him with images of what looks like a tent, triangular object, He is recovering when Max climbs through the window and urges him out. The two leave, Max reseals the gate and they jumped into the dumpster below. Sheriff Valenti walks back into the office, checks that the gate was locked and went back outside to help Isabel with her tire. When he finishes, he asks her if she knew where his brother was, whereby she replied that she's only his sister, not his keeper. He looked thoughtful as she sped away.

The next day, Ms Topolsky that reveals that she is really a guidance counsellor approached Liz in school and that she knows Liz is friend's with Michael and wants Liz to tell Michael to come in to see her because he's in danger of being expelled. Liz then ponders on the power of secrets; keeping some people out and making some feel like they belong, while scenes flash by of the Evans playing basketball with Max and Isabel while Michael watches in the distance. While Sheriff Valenti discovering his key is missing, and Kyle is watching Liz suspiciously from across the quad.
