[ Description ]

The episode begins quickly with Isabel searching an unidentified place with a flashlight. Isabel finds a beaten up Tess and carries her through a building to a room where they can be safe. Isabel closes and locks the door in this room, but from behind the door, we can see a light, and the bolts come undone. The door opens, and we cannot see who's outside, but Isabel can see this person, and exclaims, "It's you."

Two hours earlier: Isabel walks through the Crashdown doors to find a surprise party with all of her friends and family in attendance. Her mother explains Max has planned it for her, and she thanks him despite everything that has been "going on." In the back room we find the new waitress fixing drinks for the guests, except she does not manually pour the soda into the cups. Isabel is outside talking with her mother about how she was so surprised, and her mother questions her choice of clothing: a fancy dress. Isabel explains that she did not know about the party, and the geologist enters the Crashdown, presenting Isabel with purple roses, which also happen to be her favourite. While talking with the geologist, Isabel notices he is bleeding and wipes off the blood from his cut. Isabel has a strange flash as she glances at the bloodstain on the napkin, which she used to wipe the blood off of, and the geologist explains that it is probably a bad time for a date. After leaving, both Isabel's mother and Max inform Isabel they need to have a "little bit of a talk." Isabel has another flash and drops the glass she has been holding. The new waitress runs to her side and helps her clean it up.

Meanwhile, at Whitaker's office, Liz is working and listening to a CD at the same time. These CD's are Whitaker's, and as Liz goes to put them back, she locks a drawer so that Liz will not place them there. Whitaker tells her to get home, and Liz mentions she will be attending a party. Whitaker insists on coming, and as she "freshens up", Liz picks the lock on the mysterious drawer she has locked, finding a CD labelled "Liz Parker". She takes the CD out of its case and begins listening to it before Whitaker returns. The CD is obviously of a conversation between her and Maria.

Back at the Crashdown, Max catches Isabel leaving the geologist a message. Max forbids her to see him, and Isabel explains that she will not bow down to him as if he is king. She instantaneously has another flash, and when Max questions it, Isabel explains she has had a headache on and off all day. Maria interrupts; telling her a policeman is waiting outside.

Isabel follows Maria to find Alex dressed up in a policeman uniform. He begins a striptease before bumping into Isabel's mother. In the back room, Michael is preparing a cake for Isabel. The new waitress interrupts him, and criticizes the way his cake looks and tastes. It is apparent that she is hitting on Michael, but he tries to avoid her as much as possible. Maria interrupts, and the two share a couple moments of jealousy and hatred towards each other.

Max lights the cake, and as the rest of the party wishes her a happy birthday, Isabel has flashes of Tess begging for her help. In the next scene, we find Isabel explaining her flash to Max and Michael. Liz and Maria interrupt and inform the group of the recordings Whitaker has made of her, Max advises that Michael go to her office and try to find something while he and Valenti search for Tess on their own. Isabel protests to having to stay behind and "baby-sit" Whitaker, but Max tells her he will take care of it.

Outside, Isabel talks with Whitaker, and when her mother notices how uneasy her daughter feels, she suggests that Isabel open her gifts. Isabel agrees, opening a small box first. Inside, a small, green alien can be found. Isabel is upset by the joke, but no one confesses to giving the gift. As she opens another gift, Isabel has another flash involving Tess, and informs her mother that she has a bad headache and wants to take some aspirin. While in the back room, Maria agrees to take Isabel out to look for Tess, and Isabel asks Liz to stay in the Crashdown and cover for her.

In Tess' room, we find Max and Valenti searching for any clues that could lead to Tess' whereabouts. They find a suspicious cell phone number on Tess' phone, and call the number, posing as the phone company to find out whom it is listed to. The person on the other line is the geologist. In Whitaker's office, Michael finds a picture of the new waitress just as Whitaker is returning from the party.

Isabel stares at the sign which she has seen many times in her flashes, but no evidence has been left behind to lead her to Tess. On the ground, Isabel notices a piece of skin. She picks it up, and it dissolves in her hand. Isabel suggests they follow the tire tracks, and it leads them to an energy plant. Isabel stops at the gate, and tells Maria that she must go in. Maria listens to Isabel's order, and returns to find Max and Michael.

In the geologist's hotel room, we see Max and Valenti looking for clues that could trace Tess' disappearance to him. The Sheriff questions the geologist, but he explains himself, and Valenti warns him that if he sees her he should call him.

Outside the Crashdown, Michael questions the new waitress. He shows her the picture, which he has obtained from Whitaker's office, and she tells him to leave her alone. When Michael finally breaks her down, she confesses that she had a relationship with Whitaker's stepson. When her stepson got into some trouble, she went to a correctional facility, and to get out, promised that she would never see him again. Maria pulls up to find Michael and the new waitress talking, and informs him that Isabel is in trouble. He gets in, and they pull away.

The next scene brings us back to the opening of the episode in which we find Isabel searching the energy plant with a flashlight. Isabel finds a beaten up Tess and carries her through a building to a room where they can be safe. Meanwhile, Michael calls Max and Valenti from the road, and Liz follows suit by trying to call everyone. Isabel's mother interrupts her, and Liz explains that she returned home after spilling something on her dress. Back at the energy plant, Isabel closes and locks the door to the room in which they are hiding in, but from behind the door, we can see a light, and the bolts come undone. The door opens, and this time we see Whitaker emerge from the hallway.

Whitaker explains that she made the mistake in taking Tess. She was actually after Isabel, whom she mistook for Tess because they didn't recognise her from the other life. Isabel asks what Whitaker wants from her, and she explains that she needs to find the granolith, which they have been hiding from, in order to survive on Earth. She then further explains that Isabel helped to save her in a past life, and that history always repeats itself. Isabel refuses to listen, but Whitaker tells her on her home planet, her name was Vilandra, and that she was even more beautiful than she is now. She also explains that Isabel betrayed her brother and her race for someone she loved. Isabel does not remember, but does not listen to Whitaker, and picks up Tess. Whitaker uses a power to knock the couple to the floor, but Isabel escapes by breaking through a window, and finding her way to the top of the building. Whitaker follows them, and when Tess can no longer move, Isabel and her stop to catch their breath. Whitaker picks up some kind of electrical wire, and uses her power to start a fire, which she threatens Isabel with. From a distance, we can hear Max scream Isabel's name. Isabel uses her power to force Whitaker away from them, and at a breaking point, the wire snaps, resulting in an explosion. Maria, Michael, Max, and Valenti arrive at the scene, and Valenti carries Tess out to the car. Before getting in, Michael asks what happened, and Isabel explains that she didn't know she was capable of killing Whitaker.

Isabel asks everyone to leave her alone, and at the pod chamber, Isabel questions her existence on her 18th birthday. In a fit of anger, she throws a rock, which lands, inside one of the pods. As she goes to retrieve it, she notices that behind the pods a large door can be found. She walks towards this door, and it automatically opens. Inside the room, a large object filled with sand can be found. It is the granolith.
