[ Description ]
The episode begins at a 24-hour market in Roswell. Michael and Maria are sitting on the roof of the market and Maria explains that it is strange how the man in the picture looks so much like Michael. Maria then suggests that the man was probably a donor of his human side and Michael notes that he has finally found a family member and that she (Laurie) is nuts.
Meanwhile, Agent Duff tries to persuade Laurie Dupree into telling her who is hurting her. Laurie says that "they're aliens" and all of a sudden, she starts screaming and becomes very frantic. She gets up and Duff chases her to the other side of the room; Laurie notes that they have to get out of the room and she starts running towards the door. When she reaches it, two officers are there to hold her back and they pin Laurie down. Maria and Michael continue to watch the Sheriff's station from the roof of the market and they see Laurie Dupree being escorted to an ambulance. We see inside the ambulance. Laurie is tied up, and behind them, we watch Michael and Maria. Following them is an old station wagon. Laurie uses a pen to untie herself even though she is for the most part helpless. When a guard isn't looking she attacks him, and then drives the driver and the ambulance into a ditch. The ambulance flips over and Michael and Maria stop to help Laurie out. Laurie screams when she realizes it's Michael who is helping her out, but the station wagon that was following Michael and Maria stops besides them and Laurie's attacker starts to shoot at her. Michael escorts her towards their car. They duck, and he tells Laurie that she can either come with them or stay there and die. Laurie agrees to come with Michael and Maria, and Michael uses his power against Laurie's attacker before escaping in their car.
At the Evans', Max and Isabel watch a newscast of the overturned ambulance. The newscast also reports that Laurie is missing and that a countywide search has gone into effect. Max phones Michael who explains where they are. Max asks if Laurie is all right and Michael explains that she is. Meanwhile, Laurie tries her best to break out of the car that Michael has locked her in using his powers.
At Valenti's house, we watch as Tess and Kyle enter to find the Sheriff doing some handiwork. Kyle wants to know what he is doing but it is apparent that Valenti has a lot of time on his hands. Kyle finds a letter from the state concerning his father's career.
In Max's room, Max studies the crystals they found. He explains to Isabel that he believes they are dealing with some alien bacteria. At the Crashdown, Isabel explains the situation to Alex and Liz. Sean interrupts and Liz informs him that they are having a private conversation. Sean then explains that his aunt (Maria's mum) is flipping out because she is unable to locate Maria.
From outside of the Jetta, Michael drills Laurie but it does no good. Maria suggests that they get something to eat and Michael is sceptical at first, but he finally gives in. At the Crashdown, Duff finds Isabel and Alex. At the station, we watch as Duff enters a room where she will just talk with Isabel. Duff's tone is nice at first but as she becomes increasingly eager for answers, she informs Isabel that she knows that she has lied. Isabel refuses to tell her anything and just then, the deputy enters with Mr. Sorenson, the geologist. He informs Duff that he found a rifle a mile east of the crime scene and even places it on table in front of Isabel.
At a roadside café, Laurie admits that she has to go to the bathroom. The place they are eating at is disgustingly filthy and Maria refuses to "hold her hand". She suggests that they form a bond of trust so that Laurie can trust them and they can trust Laurie. At Maria's, Sean and Liz arrive. Mrs. Deluca is angry with Maria who has called to explain that she has gone camping. Mrs. Deluca has found her long johns however, and she knows Maria is not out camping. Mrs. Deluca requests that Liz tell her everything she knows and Liz informs her that Maria is with Michael and that she' all right. Mrs. Deluca asks for Liz's phone, and she willingly hands it over to explain that Liz and her will wait until Maria calls Liz's phone to get the truth of the matter.
We watch Laurie walking down a road and Maria's red Jetta is following her. The car speeds up, Laurie hears it, and she starts running. However, when Laurie realizes how close Michael and Maria are, she stops, and even begins to take a rest. Maria pulls Michael aside and begs him to tell Laurie, about who he is, but Michael does not want to do that and Michael ultimately agrees to make an emotional bond with the girl. Maria watches on as Michael approaches Laurie and has nothing to say.
Back at Valenti's, Kyle watches as his father does some more woodwork. Valenti explains that he is making a baseball bat for Kyle, one that he has wanted to give him since he was little. Kyle knows something is wrong and Valenti finally admits that he is in a "dark place" and it is going to take some time to get out of his slump.
Michael bonds with Laurie by telling her that she is the only family he has every met and he's not about to let go of her. He then informs her that he is loyal and Laurie asks him if he is her grandfather. Michael replies negatively and Laurie finally admits that her grandfather is in Tucson.
We find Max sleeping on the desk in his room. He wakes to find that the crystal substance in the glass has escaped its container and made its way onto its hand. The crystal has now transformed into a liquid and reminds one of a blob. After the crystal is done with Max, he looks at his hand and the crystal changes from a liquid back into a solid. Max gets another container and locks the crystal in.
At Maria's, Mrs. Deluca answers Liz's phone to find her daughter on the other line. Mrs. Deluca is angry with Maria and she wants to know where she is and where she is going. Maria replies that she is still in New Mexico but that they are heading for Arizona. Maria then explains that they are being free spirits and Mrs. Deluca suggests that Michael and her are going to have sex and get stoned. Mrs. Deluca warns Maria of the danger she is in and requests to talk to Michael. Maria puts Michael on the phone; he refuses to talk at first. Mrs. Deluca explains to him that he is to protect her daughter and treat her good. She adds that if he is to have sex with Maria she will hunt him down and that they are to call her if they need bail money. Mrs. Deluca hangs up and Sean suggests that they call the police. Liz and Sean begin to fight and Mrs. Deluca leaves to have a drink. Max knocks on the door as Mrs. Deluca is leaving and he is looking for Liz, who he finds pinned under Sean. Max tells Liz that he needs help with his science homework and she gets her coat and leaves.
In the woods we find Valenti who is looking for Sorenson. He apologizes to the geologist and tries to settle their differences but Sorenson gets up and attacks Valenti. Valenti starts to punch him after he has the geologist pinned and Sorenson begs him to stop. It is obvious that Sorenson wanted Valenti to hit him. At the police station, Duff explains that she just got a call that he attacked Sorenson. Valenti suggests that they put Sorenson under surveillance and he even notes that Sorenson is Laurie Dupree's attacker. Duff asks Valenti whether or not this has to do with the $15 million lawsuit Sorenson has filed against him and his family. Duff shows Valenti the gun Sorenson brought in from one of his digs. Valenti explains what happened when he visited Sorenson. Valenti makes the assumption that Sorenson has a split personality but Agent Duff suggests that it is Valenti who has the split personality.
At the UFO Centre, Liz is working on the computer and notes that the crystals look like an alien version of a parasitic life form that shows up in fish. Max notes that if it is parasitic then it will need something to feed on, such as his arm. What Max and Liz can't figure out is why the crystals don't want to feed on terrestrial organisms, such as Max and Valenti. Max then says that they formed on Laurie's gravesite and Liz calls Isabel to request that she do them a favour.
At the Crashdown, we find Sorenson and Isabel talking. Isabel explains that things got really complicated and that she would just like to start over with him. They reintroduce themselves and Sorenson explains that he is a geologist. Isabel asks many questions which she already knows the answers to before asking Sorenson what is so special about Frazier Woods.
The scene then cuts to Michael, Maria and Laurie who have arrived at Laurie's grandfather's house in Tucson. The house (or mansion) is very pretty and Maria notes that her grandfather has made a nice life for himself. Laurie explains that she is nervous since she hasn't seen her grandfather in so long. Michael buzzes the gate and a camera shifts. Someone answers through the telecom and Michael explains who he is along with Maria and Laurie. At the door, a servant greets them and she looks at Michael awkwardly. Michael, Maria and Laurie look around the house and we meet Bobby, who is also surprised to see Michael. His wife walks down the stairs to find Michael and she is stunned to see him. Michael is confused, however, Laurie asks her Uncle Bobby to see her grandfather. Bobby replies that her grandfather has been dead for seven years and that Laurie herself even attended the funeral.
Laurie, Michael and Maria chat with Laurie's aunt and uncle but Laurie seems uncomfortable and Bobby asks what Michael wants. Michael explains what happened to Laurie but they do not seem too bothered by it and even joke about Laurie getting locked up at the mental hospital.
At the UFO Centre, Isabel explains that Sorenson has a bunch of experiments going on around Frazier Woods. Isabel mentions something about the water level at Frazier Wood and Liz is able to link it to the parasites. They jump onto the computer and Liz pulls up the county's water table. We see that the water flows through underground rivers and streams. Liz zooms in and we see a stream, which runs right beneath Pullman Ranch and Frazier Woods. Max figures that the parasites came along with Max and Isabel on their ship. Liz questions Laurie Dupree's attacker's intensions. It is obvious that he knows about the alien parasites or might even be one himself. Liz comments that she wishes Max and Isabel could just phone home for help and Isabel agrees that it would be nice. Brody interrupts them and Max explains that they have been using his equipment for a science project they have been working on. Max explains that he won't be long and a thought sparks in Isabel's mind. She suggests that they use the alien who reached out through Brody's mind at the summit and send a message back to him.
At Valenti's, Duff enters to find the house transformed into a wood shop. She informs Valenti of the various objects which were stolen and used by Laurie's attacker when he tried to kill her. They all came from different places, and for the most part, were stolen. She then announces that Sorenson's work itinerary places him in all these places at the time when each of the objects were stolen. Duff pleads with Valenti to help her and she tells him that she will make it her personal business to help him get his job back after they have closed the case. Valenti replies that the bats can wait.
Back at the estate we find Michael and Maria. Michael wants to know where Laurie has been at the past three hours as they stand by the pool. Laurie's uncle approaches and hands Michael a bag with $50,000. He notes that Michael looks like their father but he will continue to deny any inheritance claims that Michael makes. Michael and Maria are confused and as two of her uncle's workers escort Michael and Maria off the property Michael asks Bobby what they will do with Laurie. Bobby explains that they will take care of her and Michael tells Bobby that there are people after Laurie, but he dismisses this comment.
Back at Brody's office we find that Isabel is trying to put Brody under hypnosis to remember his "alien experiences". Brody is sceptical and Isabel lies to Brody, telling him that she has psychic powers. He finally agrees to the hypnosis and Isabel instructs him on how to prepare. As Isabel starts to use her powers Brody explains that the last time he did this, the others hypnotizing him found him a difficult subject and all of a sudden we hear sparks fly and Brody and Isabel have landed on two opposite sides of the room. Max comes to Isabel's side at first and Brody starts talking. Max questions who it is and Brody explains that he is Larek. According to Brody, his body is not ready for communication and it will restart once Larek has been released. Max explains about their situation and Brody questions the kind of parasite, which Max believes found its way out from their ship. Max describes the crystals and Brody (or Larek) informs him that their world is in great danger! He orders Max and Isabel to get off the planet immediately before leaving Brody's body. Brody finally comes to and Max and Isabel explain that Brody has fainted. They help him up and Isabel apologizes. Max asks if Brody is all right and he replies that he "think so."
