[ Description ]


The episode begins at the observatory where Max and Tess are lying naked and talk. Then, Max and Tess sneak into Valenti's house. Max is obviously dropping Tess off from their little "love fest." From under a pillow, Kyle watches as they kiss. Mr. Valenti turns on the light to find Max and Tess; he tells Tess to go to her room and instructs Max to go home. Max leaves and Kyle waves to his father. In Tess' room, we watch as she rubs her stomach and exclaims, "Oh my God!"

Maria wakes up to Liz banging on the window early in the morning. Liz explains that she must speak with Maria and tells her that the picture of Alex and his Swedish babe Leanna was taken in front of a structure that was torn down in 1994, when Alex was ten years old. Maria explains that she is creeped out; Liz suggests that Leanna is a girl who was put in the pictures with him, just like the building. Maria suggests that Leanna is really an alien killer. Liz then asks for Maria to help her since she cannot figure out everything on her own.

At the Evans', Max speaks with an angry Isabel about his relationship with Tess. He tells her that he and Tess slept together the previous night and Isabel claps her hands to congratulate Max for loosing his virginity. She then makes a sly remark to prove that she has no compassion for him. Max tells Isabel to forget about it as he heads towards the back rooms. Isabel passes another comment to Max and he tells her that he is feeling kind of strange about it. Max, who hopes that Isabel would be willing to comfort him, is shot down when she explains that she doesn't care about his feelings, especially since he has no respect for any of hers.

At school, Tess greets Max. Michael interrupts them as she explains that they have something to talk about. Max, who is obviously uncomfortable, tells Michael that he is speaking with Tess. Michael departs and we watch as he heads towards Isabel and Kyle, who are watching on. Tess explains they can "talk about it" later that night. Max grabs Tess' hand and they walk together down the hallway.
We next find Isabel sitting on the bleachers staring at a memorial made for Alex. Kyle asks how Isabel feels about the Max/Tess development. Isabel makes it apparent that she doesn't really care for Max or what he does. Kyle notes that their alien group is a very sorry excuse for people. He then urges Isabel to use her powers and have some fun with them. Isabel asks him what his idea of fun is. The scene shifts and we watch as Kyle pulls out an issue of Playboy magazine. Isabel tells Kyle that she is not touching the magazine and he explains that the girl on the cover is "playmate of the year." Isabel finally agrees and in a dream sequence, we watch as Kyle and Isabel exercise with Kyle's fantasy girl. He finally approaches the girl who explains that the gym is a private one. Kyle looks around and spots cake. He feeds the girl cake; she licks the leftovers off his fingers and just as she is about to follow Kyle into "the showers," Isabel ends the dream. Kyle gets very angry and tries to persuade her to re-enable the dream. Kyle accepts this and then offers to help her have some fun. Isabel explains that she is mad at Max and he suggests they blow him up. Isabel tells Kyle that he has a sick mind and so he goes into one of his infamous Buddha speeches. Isabel doesn't understand; Kyle tells her that if she brings her powers "to the party," he'll drive. They are on a mission to get back at Max.

Maria works on a computer to uncover an E-mail Alex sent to her while on his trip to Sweden. At Derek's (the computer geek) house, Maria asks if he'll help her to uncover where the E-mail was sent. Larek explains that the origin point has been encrypted; Maria tells him that she needs him to do his "illegal computer geek stuff" in order to figure out exactly where it came from.
Meanwhile, Max and Tess are sitting on a bench in a park. After much hesitation, Tess finally reveals that she is pregnant with their baby.

Liz arrives at Valenti's where Tess greets her at the door. Tess wants to know if she is there to discuss her new relationship with Max. Liz explains that she has come to get information about Tess' mind control power. Just then, Max enters to find Liz; he asks what she is doing there. Liz explains that she is talking with Tess about nothing and adds that she should probably get going. Max continues to bother Liz about what they were talking about and Tess tells him that she had some questions about mind control. Max suggests that Liz has a new theory, one that involves Tess being Alex's murderer. Kyle enters and explains that Tess was with him the night that Alex died. Liz asks once more if she can leave and this time Max lets her go.

At her house, Liz lays on a chair as Maria enters through the window. She explains what she (or Derek) has uncovered: the E-mails were sent from within New Mexico in a dorm room at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. The scene shifts and we watch as Liz and Maria walk towards a front door. It is obvious that they are on their way to Las Cruces. As they open the door, Michael is standing in front of them. He asks where they are going and so Liz lies to him. Michael then requests to speak with Maria. Once Liz has exited, Michael asks Maria where they are going. At first she tries to lie but finally breaks down and tells him their destination. Michael then makes Maria promise that at the first sign of danger they are to contact him. He kisses Maria and the scene shifts to school where Max points out that Liz and his girlfriend are absent. As promised, Michael does not tell Max where Liz and Maria are. Max notes that he has too much to worry about as they pick up their yearbooks; he turns to the page where his picture is located and sees that his class photo has been replaced with a picture of an alien. The camera pans over to Kyle and Isabel, who are watching with giant smirks on their faces.

Later that day, Max and Michael play basketball and have a chat. Max admits that he had sex with Tess. Michael becomes very interested in this and asks a bunch of questions. When they finally sit down from their game, Max explains that there has been a complication. Michael notes that Max is too smart to get Tess pregnant, but from the look on Max's face, it is obvious to Michael that is exactly what happened. Michael is shocked and Max explains that alien pregnancies only take about one month. Max further explains that he doesn't know what is inside Tess, whether it is alien or human. When Michael questions whether they will have the baby, Max informs him that it is not his decision. Michael warns Max that having the baby could endanger all of their lives.
Liz and Maria search a dorm room at the university. They find nothing at all except for a student. He asks them what they are doing. Then the student explains that "Ray" lived with him in the room for a couple of months. He notes that this "Ray" character was a very weird person. The student goes on to describe how "Ray" never left the dorm except for once at night, where he spotted him by a Litvack building. Liz questions what is inside this building and the student notes that supposedly, the school hosts some kind of super computer inside of it.

Inside the pod chamber, Max spreads out everything they have from where they came from. Max looks at the book and tells Tess that it probably has all the answers to the future questions they have. Tess explains that she is having the baby and Max gets up and turns his back to her. She thanks him for his support and Max promises that he'll stand by her no matter what. Tess notes that he doesn't seem too enthusiastic about it. Just then, Tess starts to feel pain and informs Max that it is the baby. Max pulls up her shirt and we watch as a red handprint glows from inside of Tess' stomach. Max puts his hand over the baby's and explains that he saw the baby: it's a boy.

Nelly Furtado sings her hit song "I'm Like A Bird" as Liz and Maria walk across campus chatting about how "close" they are. Maria hears the singer and both the girls' rush over for "just one song." As Liz looks around in the crowd she notices Alex's "Swedish babe" Leanna, who obviously does not live in Sweden. Liz points the girl out to Maria, who holds up a picture and compares. It is obviously the same girl and so Maria puts the picture back into her purse and tells Liz that the investigation is getting way too weird. As the girl starts to leave, Liz grabs Maria and they try to chase after her. Unfortunately, they are not fast enough. As a bus passes by, the girl disappears. Suddenly, a hand grabs Liz' shoulder. It's Michael, who explains he wants to know everything.

In school, Kyle and Isabel play another prank on Max. This time, Isabel uses her power so that Max becomes stuck to the floor during a fire drill. Meanwhile, Liz speaks with a computer science teacher who answers her questions about the Litvack building's computers. According to this professor, the computers are "multi-million dollar toys" that will help advance the field of cartography. Inside, the professor works on a computer and tells Liz that it was obvious "Ray" (or Alex) was trying to decode something.

At Valenti's, Max and Isabel sit on a couch as Max checks the classifieds for apartments. He explains that if they are going to have a baby they will probably need a place of their own. Tess is surprised by this and tells Max that she wants to start planning their future as well, however, thinks that a return to their old planet is the ultimate plan. Max agrees, however, he informs her that they have enough to worry about right now without having to deal with plans of returning home.

Back at the Litvack building, Maria and Michael knock on a glass window leading to the room where Liz and the professor are working on the computer. Maria holds up a sheet of paper and Liz excuses herself for a minute. At the door, Maria tells Liz that they've found Leanna. Her real name is Jenny Coleman and she is a student at the university. Michael informs Liz that they are returning to Roswell because the situation is too dangerous, especially for them. Liz explains that she is too close to the truth and won't leave now. Michael grabs her just as the professor calls to Liz and tells her that he has found "Ray's" source code. On the computer screen, we see the language used in both the book and in Michael's dreams. Michael wants to know what Alex was doing with the language and so the professor explains that he was translating it into English. The professor further explains that although the data has been deleted, on his last day on campus, Alex sent a huge text file to [email protected]. Immediately, Liz identifies the precipitant as Jenny Coleman. Liz smiles.

The scene shifts back to Max and Tess. Tess is getting Max a soda when she suddenly falls. Max uses his powers to "see" the baby once again and learns that it is dying from the earth's atmosphere.

At Jenny's dorm room, her roommate greets Maria, Liz and Michael. Jenny's roommate explains that she is out of town because her mother got sick. Maria lies to the girl telling her that Jenny was supposed to leave her physics notes. Before she can do anything to stop them, Michael and Liz sweep through Jenny's room. Once they have filed down the dorm buildings steps, Michael looks through Jenny's mail to find a bill for rental on a property outside of Las Cruces. Maria explains that she'll drive. The scene shifts to Jenny's rental space: an old, vacant house with nothing inside of it. Michael, Maria and Liz look around to find a running laptop, printer, and triangular bomb, which begin to beep as Liz draws closer to the laptop. Michael uses his power to send the bomb flying out a window before it can explode. Liz then works on the computer while Michael looks through the rest of the rooms. Liz is able to retrieve the translation they are looking for while Michael finds a special type of crystal. Liz shows the translation to Michael; Maria notes that even if Leanna has all the answers, they now do as well.

Meanwhile, Max tends to a sickly Tess. Tess awakens from sleep and tells Max that she is doing better. She then asks about "the book" and Max informs her that in all honesty, he does not know how to read it.

At the Crashdown, we find Isabel, who is obviously doing some homework. Kyle sits down across from her and informs her of his great new idea to get revenge on Max. Isabel doesn't seem interested and so she explains that she is over the whole Max situation.
Meanwhile, Max tries to take out the garbage. He struggles with the garbage can and becomes very angry. In a crazed rage, Max trashes all of the garbage pails and sits down on the ground next to the scattered garbage. Isabel approaches from behind and while sitting on the ground, Max explains that Tess is pregnant. He further explains that the baby cannot survive in the earth's atmosphere. Isabel tries to comfort a teary-eyed Max by making him follow her to the park. There, Isabel retells the story of how their guinea pig died. According to the story, the day after, it snowed in Roswell. Max remembers how much fun they had in the snow and it even cheers him up a bit. Isabel apologizes for being selfish. She notes that her problems can't even compare to those of Max, however, he disagrees. Max tells Isabel that her problems are important and apologizes as well. Isabel then assures Max that they'll figure something out and asks whether they know if it is a boy or a girl. Max replies that it is a boy; they share a hug just as Michael pulls up on his bike. Michael explains that he has been lying to them. Instead of trying to sabotage the investigation, Michael has been helping them. He further explains that it was well worth it and hands over the translation of their "book" to Max and Isabel. They can finally go home. (noooooo)
