[ Description ]

The episode begins at the Crashdown where Liz, Maria, Isabel, and Tess are packing in as much summer fun as they can before school starts the following day. Alex and Michael watch. Meanwhile, we see Max running through the streets of Roswell. Maria questions what is going on between Liz and Max, and Liz informs her that "nothing" is going on at all. Maria asks if she had a flash and Liz just seems to giggle. Suddenly, Max runs into the Crashdown. He explains that Nasedo is dead, and Michael suggests that they go to the pod chamber and revive Nasedo with the healing stones. We next find Max, Michael, Isabel and Tess at the pod chamber, but the healing stones do not seem to be working. Max explains that Nasedo told him the "skins are among you" and almost instantaneously, Nasedo's body turns into dust.

The episode returns and we find Kyle getting off a bus at the bus station. He seems to be waiting for quite some time before Valenti arrives to pick him up. Valenti apologises for being late, and asks him how football camp was. Kyle complains that he is two hours late, and Valenti explains Kyle has returned at a bad time. He further explains the situation with Nasedo, Tess' surrogate father. Kyle becomes angry about having to deal with the "little green men" again, and uses bizarre Buddhist quotes to make a point, which Valenti cannot understand.

School has resumed at West Roswell High and Michael speaks with Isabel, telling her that school is a bad place to be, especially because the killer is among them. Max says it's best "just to blend in", but on his way to class, he feels he is being followed and uses a new power to protect himself against anything that is potentially dangerous. To his surprise, he only finds a man working in the storage room.

A history teacher recites a lecture about the leadership of John F. Kennedy, and it strangely seems to narrate Max's life as well, during this episode. Max visits the UFO Centre after school to find that Brody Davis has bought the UFO Centre from Milton. He explains some new changes were going to be made, and lets Max leave for the night. As Max is walking home he bumps into Tess, who is sitting and thinking. She explains that Nasedo warned her about him not being around anymore.

Meanwhile, in Maria's car, Maria catches Max and Tess walking down the streets of Roswell on what looks like a date. As Max and Tess return to Tess's house, they hear a sound of broken glass and Max runs through the house to see if he can catch someone or something. Whoever or whatever escapes through the back gate and Tess explains it might have just been a robber. Max disagrees, picking up a piece of skin, which disintegrates as he touches it.

At Valenti's house, Max and Tess inform him that they need his help. Kyle wakes up to find Tess sleeping on his living room couch. They share a moment of sexual tension as Tess explains she now lives with them.

Meanwhile, at Congresswoman Whitaker's office, Liz can be found doing some work. Whitaker enters, and asks if she has any messages, particularly any from Agent Pierce. Liz assures her Pierce has not called, but then reneges on this, telling her he has called. She then explains he left a nasty voicemail saying their relationship was over, and that he was never coming back to Roswell.

Max returns to the UFO Centre that night, and while repairing something, notices a door marked "Employees Only." He enters a mysterious room where a computer program has been left on. The program reveals that Brody knows about the pulse sent out from the orbs. He spots an alien like transmitter on Brody's desk, and as he goes to pick it up, Brody scalds him. Brody questions what Max is doing in the room, and he explains that he was "just curious." Brody fires him, and Max leaves, confused and scared.

Liz shows a cold shoulder towards Maria after she desperately tries to mend their relationship. After Maria leaves, Liz hears a strange noise and goes into Whitaker's office to investigate. She finds Whitaker in there, shredding important alien documents and drinking. They talk about love and relationships, and Whitaker praises Liz for walking away from the relationship. Liz reveals Tess got in the way of their relationship, and as Liz goes to answer the phone, Whitaker shows a bundle of interest in the name.

Meanwhile, at Valenti's house, Kyle walks into his room to find Tess wearing his football jersey. Tess reveals she knows about Kyle being a Buddhist, and Kyle exclaims that the whole "alien" thing has made him question life. Kyle insults Tess, and she becomes angry.

At the school, Max, Isabel, and Michael question Milton selling the UFO Centre and whether or not Brody killed both him and Nasedo. Michael suggests they break into the UFO Centre and steal the alien transmitter but Max disagrees, and informs Michael they will be doing nothing of the sort.

That night, we find Michael lurking about the UFO Centre. In a different room, Brody is holding the transmitter, which releases some kind of signal, as Michael gets closer to him. Michael is knocked to the ground by the signal, but gets up and runs out before Brody can catch him.

At Michael's, Max criticises Michael's decision before Isabel suggests that they make a decision on what to do about Brody. Isabel reasons that they must kill Brody since he is using an alien weapon and because he was probably the person who killed Nasedo.

Max talks with Maria about his "leadership" problems before returning to the UFO Centre with Michael and Isabel. There, Max explains, "they can't do this", and Max uses his force field power to stop Isabel and Michael from killing him. Isabel questions him, and Max explains he will face Brody himself.

In his office, Max, who questions his presence in Roswell, interrupts Brody. Brody does not seem to want to answer his questions, but reveals, "he is one of them." Max questions what he wants, and Brody exclaims, "to make contact." When Brody goes into further detail, he reveals that he is not an alien himself, but has been abducted by aliens before. Max is relieved, and Brody believes that Max has been abducted as well. Max just smiles. In the other room, Isabel and Michael listen to their conversation. Max questions the transmitter, and Brody explains he bought it a while ago, and on May 14th, a signal went off. It is clear that Brody is harmless, and so, the alien trio leaves. Outside, someone is watching them.

Back at the Crashdown, Isabel and Max explain the situation to Tess and Alex. Kyle enters, and informs Tess about their "temporary" living conditions before explaining she can have his room. Liz walks into the Crashdown and Max spots her. Liz feels awkward and walks right past him. Max pursues her, and tells her that he loves her and will be coming for her, and her only. He then sits back down, and Tess informs Max that their problems have not ended because Nasedo's killer is still out there somewhere.

The new waitress asks if Maria will cover for her, and walks into the bathroom. She peels a layer of skin off her face, flushes it down the toilet, and leaves.
