[ Description ]

The episode begins at the police station. The deputy is interrogating Max and Isabel as Dan and the Judge question Sheriff Valenti. It is obvious that their stories are not matching up and as a deputy escorts Max and Isabel out of the station we hear yelling coming from the room in which Valenti is being questioned. The Sheriff and Dan are screaming at each other and Valenti notes that he saved the woman's life. The Judge requests that Valenti file a report for the following morning. He then tells Valenti they will be setting up a hearing and takes the Sheriff's badge from him. He has officially been suspended.

In a hospital, a nurse injects a needle into the woman whom Max and Isabel saved. The woman wakes up from her sleep and the nurse tries to comfort her. She tells the woman that there are some people who want to talk with her, but then informs her that she'll let her rest up first. The nurse walks away to get the woman some orange juice and we think she is going to sleep. Suddenly, she opens her eyes and starts looking around as if she is scared.

Tess, who is disguised in a nurse's outfit, informs Michael that the blood work confirms the woman is human. Michael cannot believe it and he rushes to the woman's room, which is now vacant.

At Valenti's house, we find the Sheriff making coffee as someone knocks on the door. It is Agent Susan Duff from the FBI. Duff makes herself very comfortable in the Sheriff's home and explains that Laurie Dupree (the woman) is missing again. Duff then informs Valenti that the Judge has agreed to let him help her with the case. There is only one condition: since he is still suspended, Duff gets to call all the shots. The Sheriff seems sceptical about helping Duff at first, but finally agrees to help her.

Meanwhile, we find Maria at her locker in school. From behind her, Alex approaches and mumbles something to get her attention. Maria is excited to see Alex who is back from his long trip to Stockholm. He explains about his delayed flight and Liz spots him as she approaches. She runs over to Alex and tries to impress him with the Swedish words which she has acquired while he was gone. Maria asks, "So, were the Viking guys hot..." and Alex tells her that she can judge for herself after they view his slides. Alex asks how things are going and Liz informs him of Valenti's situation. Maria spots Max and she points Liz in his direction. She then agrees to fill Alex in and the scene shifts to Liz and Max's conversation. Liz asks if he is all right and Max expresses his concern for Valenti and his job. He tries to approach Kyle, but Kyle completely ignores him.

At the Sheriff's office, Valenti sits at his desk. Kyle drops his father's lunch on the desk and Kyle is upset that his father did not tell him about the suspension. Duff interrupts and asks for a report that Valenti was supposed to do for her. The Sheriff introduces her to his son and Kyle departs. Duff shows Valenti some files and she asks about the investigation of Laurie's disappearance at the hospital. Valenti explains that his men are on it and then gives Duff some background information on the girl. He says that she is a paranoid schizophrenic who ran away from her hospital a week before the kidnapping. Duff exits and Valenti receives a page. It's Michael, who requests to show him something. At the crime scene, Valenti picks something up and places it inside a bag. Valenti explains this "thing" wasn't there last night. He tells Michael that he needs to stop poking around crime scenes, especially when the FBI is involved and Michael agrees.

At the Crashdown, Liz starts to clean up Max's mess but he tells her he was not finished. Max asks to have another bowl of what he is eating and Liz informs him that he has been sitting there since six o'clock. Max tells her that there is a dangerous person in town and that he is scared to go home. It is obvious that he is there to protect Liz, and she even sees it herself. She thanks Max and we hear a knock on the door. It's Sean, who says he would "kill" for some food. Liz tells him that the kitchen is closed and Sean then requests some Asteroid Pie. Liz informs him that the last piece went earlier that day and Liz tells him to come back tomorrow and she'll give him something. She closes the door and returns to Max. She tells him that there are two pieces of Asteroid Pie and that he can stay as long as he likes. Liz then goes upstairs to get her history books in order to study. At Valenti's, the Sheriff returns home to find Laurie Dupree hiding in his closet.

We next find Alex setting up his slides. Liz asks Isabel how she is doing and Isabel replies that she cannot stop thinking about the girl. At Valenti's, the Sheriff informs Laurie that there are a lot of people who want to help her. She asks the Sheriff if she can trust him and Laurie admits that it was "them" who took her, and that they are not from "here". Duff interrupts with a call. She needs the Sheriff to help her do something and he agrees to come. Laurie wants to know if he is leaving and Valenti tells her that if he can trust him he can trust the people he says are OK. As Alex continues to set up his slides, Valenti calls for Isabel. He wants her to stay with Laurie, but she does not tell the others that as she departs. She apologises to Alex, explaining that they'll have to set up a date soon. Alex asks Liz for an extra extension cord and as she goes to find it she finds Sean in the Crashdown's pantry. He explains that he was hungry and invites Liz on a date, but she refuses and explains that her and Max are "semi-involved". Sean doesn't seem to care too much. He exits.

At a convenience store, Kyle and Tess overhear two women gossiping about Valenti. In the Sheriff's defence, Mrs. Deluca takes a shot at the two women and then pays for her food. At Valenti's, Isabel tries to help and comfort Laurie. Laurie is acting strange (as usual) and Isabel asks her what "they" did to her. She informs Isabel that they stuck needles into her as a knock interrupts their conversation. Isabel tells Laurie to hide in the closet until she says it's all right. At the door, we find Max and Michael. Isabel knocks on the door, requesting that Laurie come out and she opens the door to find Max and Michael. She reintroduces Max, and follows with Michael. All of a sudden, Laurie starts to scream. She tells Michael to stay away from her, mumbling something about him being dead. Laurie locks herself in the room as Isabel pleads with Laurie, who has already escaped the house. She runs looking for help but is unable to find any. At the police station, Valenti and Duff receive calls almost simultaneously. One is from Isabel to Valenti explaining how Laurie escaped. The other call comes from a citizen from Roswell, although we are not completely sure of this. It is pretty obvious though that the call concerns Laurie's whereabouts.

Michael catches Laurie who escapes him by running into the street. She is hit by a car, but survives. When she gets up, a crowd has formed and she pleads for help from the man who has just hit her. Laurie mumbles something about the "enemies" as the police arrive with Duff. Laurie explains to Duff that she was hiding in Valenti's house and that he told her she could trust him. Duff asks Valenti if this is true and at first, he denies the allegations, but finally, he gives in to Duff, who informs him that there arrangement, is through.

Duff questions Valenti at the station. He explains that Laurie came to him. Duff seems disappointed with Valenti and when she asks him a question about the relationship between him and the kids of Roswell, he refuses to answer, noting that she had time to asks questions earlier, when his lawyer was present.

Alex shows Liz his slides, but Liz is too rapt in her troubled life. Alex seems supportive and when she sees a slide of Alex hugging a Swedish girl, she asks him to spill. He explains that he has a long distance relationship going on because it seems that things between him and Isabel are not that good. One of the slides he shows Liz is of the Northern Lights. She is completely amazed and it appears that she sees a resemblance between it and the flashes, which she has when kissing Max.

At school, Max asks Kyle if they can talk. Kyle replies, "No" but Max explains about the evidence, which is in Valenti's office and how it could be alien. Kyle does not seem too interested in protecting Max but after learning that it could only worsen his father's situation, Kyle agrees to help and go get it. Later, Liz pulls Max aside and asks him if he would ever like to travel. He replies that he would but that things like travel don't work out for him. Liz explains that she feels Max, Isabel, Michael and Tess are all being cheated, and Max tells her that everything they touch is damaged in some way. Liz doesn't agree and Max tells her that she needs to room to grow, despite the fact that she will always be part of the group.

At Valenti's office, we find Kyle going through the Sheriff's drawers. Kyle finds the evidence as Duff enters. When she finds Kyle, he lies to her, telling her that he is looking for the report card Valenti was supposed to sign. He picks up a random piece of paper and tells Duff that he has found it. She investigates the paper and explains that she did not like Trigonometry either. As Kyle walks out of the station, he glances at the report card. Tess stands close by. With her mind altering powers she has created the illusion of the report card, and even destroys it right in Kyle's hands. He realizes what has happened and complains about Tess' creepy powers.

In the courthouse, the Sheriff listens to a tape of his hearing. The court's decision is to remove Valenti from office immediately. The Judge rules and we next find Max and Isabel entering the Crashdown. They apologize for being late and Liz explains that they have fired the Sheriff. Both Max and Isabel become upset and Kyle pulls out the evidence Max requested. Kyle asks Max to promise him to leave their family alone. Max says that he cannot promise that and Kyle slams the evidence down on the Crashdown's counter.

At the Evans', Michael investigates the sample of evidence. Max and Isabel seem very worried about Valenti. Max pulls a microscope out of his closet. He puts a sample of the evidence on a slide and they look at it under a microscope. Max explains that it is pulsating.

Valenti is sleeping at his house as we hear a knock on the door. He answers it to find Mrs. Deluca who invites the Sheriff on a picnic. He refuses and replies that he is going to clean his gutters. At the Crashdown, Liz sits down with Sean after delivering his food. He tries to help Liz with her problems by showing her an old trick in which you write your problems in mustard on a hamburger and then eat the hamburger. According to Sean your troubles will go away. We find the Sheriff and Mrs. Deluca in Mrs. Deluca's car. It appears they have been together the whole day. Valenti thanks her for the day and they kiss.

Inside Valenti's, Tess explains that she is leaving to Kyle. Kyle seems upset and persuades her not to go. Tess feels that her existence in the Valenti family is a burden to Kyle and his father, but Kyle assures her that Tess is his favourite Martian.

In the concluding scene, we find Michael and Isabel, who have broken into an unidentified file room (it's probably that of Laurie's previous hospital). At first, Michael and Isabel fail to find any information on Laurie, but they do find her personal belongings in a bag. One of the belongings is a picture of someone who looks exactly like Michael. Isabel notes this and Michael explains, "It is me." The picture is marked "Grandpa 1935".
