[ Description ]                       


The episode begins late at night. Max and Isabel are channel surfing, but can't find anything to watch. Isabel suggests that she go do some dream walking and Max tell her to stay away from Liz. Isabel lies on her bed with the Roswell high yearbook and the first picture we see her turn to be Liz's. In the dream, Isabel and Liz are at the Crashdown where Liz is closing up. Isabel sits at a table and watches as a man, Brad, enters, walks directly over to Liz, and begins to kiss her. The dream shifts and Liz and Brad are still kissing, however, Max is watching them now. Liz says, "I'm with Brad now," and Max informs her that Brad doesn't even exist and that she wants to be with him. The dream shifts again and we see Max and Liz kissing. Isabel continues to watch and notes that Liz's romantic dream is boring.

Isabel returns from her dream walk and picks Kyle's picture out of the yearbook. In Kyle's dream we find him sitting with Buddha, before the man himself is interrupted by a cell phone call. Buddha answers the call and the person on the other line informs him that their enemies have arrived. Buddha tells Kyle that he is has to accept that Max has changed him, but Kyle refuses. The dream shifts, but it appears that Isabel is not in Kyle's dream anymore. We hear gunshots and see an image of a girl as Isabel returns from the dream.
At Valenti's office, an old friend, Dan, enters the office and tells Valenti that the state police want to reinvestigate the Hubble case. Valenti can't understand why they would want to investigate the case, and notes to Dan that it was a "clean shoot". At the Crashdown, Tess pours Tabasco sauce on her ice cream sundae and into her drink. Kyle becomes interested in tasting the sundae and asks Tess for a bite. She lets him have it but insists he won't like it. Kyle takes a bite and tells Tess that it is not as bad as it seems. He then becomes worried, informing Tess that he is not ready for this kind of "change". When Tess questions what "change", Kyle reminds her of how Max healed him and Tess is unable to satisfy Kyle with the answers to which he is looking for. Kyle asks for another bite, but Tess doesn't give to him this time.

Back at Valenti's office, Max and Isabel tell Valenti about the dream walking. Isabel explains that "this dream" just came to her and that the person in the dream needs help. Dan enters and confirms his lunch plans with Valenti. After Dan exits, Max asks who he was and Valenti explains that he is from the State Police Board and that he'll be reviewing the Hubble case. Valenti assures them that it is OK because Dan is an old friend. He then tells Isabel he will look into the girl who needs help.

At a restaurant, Valenti explains the Hubble case to Dan. Dan questions Valenti about the "kids" in his office and Valenti informs him that they were Max and Isabel Evans. Dan is interested in Max and reports to Valenti that someone's statement claims that Max was last seen with Hubble in a car that night. Valenti tells him that Max wasn't there and Dan assures him that's all he needed to hear.
Back at the Crashdown, Liz tells Maria that she can't get Max off of her mind after embarrassing herself by calling one of the customers Max. Maria informs her that she's in love and Liz explains that it's not getting her anywhere. Liz tells her to get her mind off of Max, that Maria needs to get a life. Suddenly, Maria's cousin, Sean, enters the Crashdown and informs Maria that he'll be staying with her and her mother. Sean says hello to Liz and tells her that he likes what he sees.

At Max's, Grant (the geologist) is channel surfing while Isabel prepares for their date. Isabel tells him not to start with her and Max asks what's wrong. Isabel tells him that the girl in her dream has been bothering her and Max suggests she cancel. Isabel tells him she has cancelled too many times and sends Max out with a message for Grant: she'll be down in five minutes.

At Valenti's house, Kyle tests himself to see if he has any new powers. Tess walks in behind him as he tries to turn on the TV with just his hand. Tess uses the remote to turn on the TV and then change the channels that Kyle announces to himself while using his new found power. He stands up and starts to proclaim, "I have become..." as Tess begins laughing. He finishes the sentence with "...an idiot." Tess throws him the remote and in the next scene we find Isabel and Grant on their date at the movies. Everyone in the audience is laughing at the film but Isabel seems tense. Grant notes this and she leans her head on his shoulder as he starts to massage her neck. Isabel receives another dream walk in which she sees the girl's nightmare in more detail. The only new part of the dream we see is a prerequisite to the last one in which the girl is about to enter her car when her attacker jumps out. Isabel awakes from her dream and screams. She startles the movie theatre and Grant, who asks her if she is OK. She replies that she is, sits back, and finishes watching the movie.

At Valenti's house, Isabel explains that they need to find the girl. She informs Valenti of how she saw the girl and her car, and Valenti asks her if she got the plates. Isabel tells him that she didn't see them, but remembers that it was a silver Honda or Toyota. She then apologizes for barging in, but the Sheriff doesn't seem angered and leads Isabel and Max to the door. Isabel exits and Max notes to Valenti that "this" must look strange. Valenti tells Max that he believes him, but that it will be hard to find the girl with the little evidence that he has. Max exits and Valenti gets on the phone. He tells the deputy that he is coming in.

Valenti stops at the Crashdown for some coffee and food before seeing another old friend in the Crashdown. The woman sparks a conversation and when Valenti asks about her daughter, Melissa, she is hesitant to answer that she is fine. Valenti becomes suspicious and asks the woman if Melissa drives a silver car. She replies, "Yes, a Toyota."

At the police station, things seem hectic. Valenti gives some orders before talking to the crying woman, Judith Fosters, his friend, who is the mother of the missing girl. He asks for Melissa's picture as an officer continues asking her questions about her daughter and Dan asks Valenti how things are going. Valenti replies, "busy" and Dan takes note of how much bustle is being made for a missing girl. He brings the picture into his office where Isabel and Max are waiting. Valenti shows Isabel the picture and she says that she is pretty sure that it is the same girl in her dreams. Both Valenti and Isabel agree that they have to get her back safely before the scenes shifts.
At the Crashdown, Maria sits down and talks with her cousin Sean. She explains the "rules" of her house, and informs Sean that he will abide by these rules. Most of the rules are dumb, but Maria notes that Sean is to stay away from Liz. Sean agrees, and Maria tells him that she'll have the rules written up by the end of the day. She returns to her work as Liz delivers and order. Sean stares at her.
At the Evan's, Isabel dream walks back into the dream. This time we see the attacker is Grant, the geologist she has been dating. She wakes up and is both terrified and shocked. Max comforts her, and they return to Valenti's office with the news. The Sheriff goes to see the judge in order to arrest Grant, but the judge refuses to help him, noting that Valenti unfairly accused Grant of a crime before. Valenti informs the judge that a girl could be dying at his expense and the judge tells him to find probable cause.

Valenti arrives at Grant's camp. Grant requests a warrant before Valenti starts to search, but Valenti doesn't have one. He searches anyway, finding what looks like a body bag. Grant tells Valenti that there is equipment inside, and when Valenti opens the bag up, sure enough there is only equipment inside. Back at Valenti's office, Dan is waiting for the Sheriff. He begins to question Valenti about his whereabouts, but when Valenti does not give him the whole truth of the matter, Dan fills him in on the rest. Dan then notes Valenti's strange behaviour and the Sheriff comes to the conclusion that Dan is not there to reinvestigate the Hubble case but that he is there to check up on him. Suddenly, Melissa Fosters enters. She explains that she knows the Sheriff has been looking for her.

That night, Valenti explains to Isabel and Max that Melissa is OK and that her car just broke down on the way to Santa Fe. Isabel apologizes and Valenti assures her that she has nothing to apologize about. He informs her that he'll be fine. But back at the office, the judge reprimands Valenti for his actions and warns him that he'd better get himself a lawyer.

In Isabel's room, Max talks to Isabel about the possibility of Valenti loosing his job. Max tells her that her dreams must have been wrong, and surprisingly, Isabel seems to agree. She tells Max that she only wanted to help others. Max and Isabel have a heart-to-heart before Max exits.

At the Crashdown, Sean enters to find Liz, Maria and Michael closing up. Kyle is explaining to Liz that Tess is mocking him, and when Kyle asks who Sean is, Michael replies, "Maria's loser cousin." Sean asks Michael for some fries. Maria explains that they are closed but Liz explains that the fire is still hot and she wouldn't mind making them for him. Sean tells her that it's all right and that he'll find something to eat at home. Maria contradicts his usage of the word "home" and Sean exits.

Isabel, trying to get some sleep, returns to the dream. This time the dream continues just until the attacker is about to kill the girl. Max answers to Isabel's unconscious cries for help and she finally wakes up. At Valenti's, Dan informs the Sheriff that his old friend, Judith Fosters is filing a suit for an investigation in Valenti's actions. Valenti tells him to speak with his lawyer and the phone rings. It's Max, who explains that it is a different girl who needs their help, and that she is in Fraser Woods. Valenti leads Dan onto believing that his deputy is calling and promises Max that he will bring them along before hanging up. Before he leaves, Dan reminds him of how his dad "went down". He tells the Sheriff that, he, like Valenti got some hunch, ignored his friends and the law and ultimately, ended up handing over his badge. Valenti asks if it is a threat and Dan tells him that if the call was from "those kids", then it is. Valenti exits.
We next find Max, Isabel and Valenti in Fraser Woods. Isabel does not know where to lead them but assures them that the girl is there. Valenti notices a molehill that is suspiciously straight. He finds a wire underneath it and follows the wire to oxygen tanks. Instantaneously, they realize what the girl's attacker has done to her. They follow the wire until it reaches the girl who has been buried alive. The girl's body has been buried under dirt and her head has been sealed into a box with the oxygen finding its way inside by way of the oxygen tanks. Max, Isabel and Valenti rush to dig the girl out, but in the distance, the attacker, who has some type of rifle, takes his pick of shots before finally firing at Valenti. The shot is bad, and Max uses his force field power before the shooter can get off any more shots. Valenti, from behind the force field, locks a shot of the shooter, and when Max finally stops the force field, Valenti fires, hitting the man and knocking him to the ground. Isabel breaks the box and frees the girl.

Suddenly, Dan arrives at the scene. He asks what is going on, and Valenti explains that he is firing at the shooter. Later, the girl explains that she never saw her attacker's face. Valenti assures the girl that she'll be all right. When she asks how Valenti knew to find her, he explains that somebody heard her cries for help. Dan approaches them as they bring the girl away. He asks how Valenti knew to find the girl, and Valenti explains, "by good police work." Dan then asks why the "two kids" were out there and Valenti explains they were along for the ride. Dan informs Valenti that he can be suspended for that and Valenti assures him that he'll take the suspension if the kids are left alone. The deputy walks over and shows Valenti and Dan the attacker's bullets, which haven't had any assertion or impact. Dan takes the bullets, noting that it is impossible. Valenti explains that he is just as baffled as he is, and Dan tells the Sheriff that he is a very bad liar. He then informs Valenti that whatever he is hiding, he will find out.

We watch as the girl thanks Isabel for saving her life. Isabel touches her hand and receives a strange flash from it. She then explains to Max that there is something strange about the girl: she feels like she knows her.
