Flashback Scene

Max rifles through Tess�s things and learns of an artifact that would allow him to communicate with his home planet � or even go back there. He starts a search for the artifact online, but no luck. Then Liz finds a photo of the artifact in a magazine. When they get the artifact, they discover it�s a key to the original ship and celebrate by making out in front of Liz�s house � Jeff Parker catches them.

Liz hears the police coming. She runs over to where Max has uncovered a staircase behind the wall. They go down and see that they�ve found what they�ve been looking for � the ship -- but will have to come back for it later. Max seals things up with his powers. They book for the doors, just as the police barge in. Max and Liz run for the car and peel out, but the police are firing at them and another squad car comes out of nowhere and cuts them off, blocking their escape. The police order them to get out of the car. Liz asks Max if his powers can help them, but obviously not since they get out of the car and are thrown to the ground.

Opening credits.

Flashback at a carousal: Max is reassuring Liz that he's not going anywhere; the granolith is gone, and there's no way home. He says he wants to be with Liz. She asks about his son; this obviously pains him. He says that there's nothing he can do about his son, and he's accepted the fact that he's gone. He tells Liz that she's paid a lot to know him, and that he wants to make it up to her. He starts up the motor of the carousel with his powers, and it begins to move, music playing and lights flashing. Max: "I want to make your dreams come true, Liz. Can you let me do that?" Liz smiles. The white light from the carousel fills the screen and we flashforward to... An officer taking Max's mug shot. The confused and furious parents, who didn�t even know that the two were in Utah, as well as Isabel and Jesse, a lawyer from the Evans� firm, have begun to arrive. Right before Max and Liz�s court hearing the two are heavily making out in the Parkers� hotel room when Jeff walks in.

Isabel and Jesse, in another room in the hotel, are also having a secret rendezvous that makes it clear to the audience that something is going on there � they�re making out on the bed. Jesse wants to know why Isabel puts him down and ignores him in public, and also wants to know why she so readily defends her brother�s kooky behavior.

Max and his parents have pancakes in their room while Liz goes back to jail to await her next court appointment. Jeff Parker hires his own lawyer who tries to get Liz to blame everything on Max.

Phillip Evans does notice a strange powder in the secret room where the ship was. Max urges him to get it tested � the results come back saying that the powder is very highly toxic. Mr. Evans shows the judge the evidence, and says that he's sure the FBI will be interested that dangerous chemicals are under a store that sells food, and that the store is on federal property. The Judge leaves for a moment and returns with Mr. Burns, then exists. Mr. Burns tells Phillip to get his nose out of this and forget what he�s seen. Phillip says that it'll be awfully hard to do if Liz is still in jail. They bargain and Liz is released.

Flashback scene:
At the Crashdown: Max is wearing a leather jacket and tougher clothes. Liz likes this. Max says that he feels weird in his old clothes. He says that he got the jacket at a thrift store in Hondo. Liz wants to go there, too.

Liz, now decked out in leather and Native American jewelry, and Max, are at a used car lot looking at a blue camaro convertible. The clerk says that the engine was burnt out in a fire. Max offers him $500.00 and the clerk scampers off to get the keys. While he's gone, Max repairs the engine with his powers as he explains things to Liz. Apparently Tess left some records on earth, and according to them there's a key on earth that will start the '47 spaceship.  Max and Liz are looking for the key, which is in the posession of Shirley McLaine. Liz is skeptical about it working. Max finishes repairing the engine and says that if he can get the car running, he'll have no problem with the spaceship. The clerk runs out with the keys. Liz grabs them and they hop in the car, which starts right away. Max, driving, is having a lot of fun. He raises his arms and lets out a whoop of joy.
 
According to Tess� journals, the key to the original ship is in Shirley Maclaine�s mansion in Sedona. Shirley�s having a special party for a UFOlogist�s birthday, and Max and Liz are there. Max, in a tux, stands among millionaire UFO maniacs as they talk about aliens and UFOs. Dr. Solomon Browning is telling Max and a group of people that aliens, when at full intellectual maturity, are only as smart as a firefly. Max tells the group that he is an alien hybrid from the 47 crash and is no firefly. The doctor remarks that Max looks like an average homosapien. Liz walks up in a slinky backless black dress and tells Max that it�s time to go. Doctor tells Liz that her date is an alien. She laughs and says, "Oh, I knew that."

(note from maximeyezed: This is an early version of 3.1.  Most of this �Shirley Stuff� has been edited.  Do I hear a collective sigh?)

As they walk away, Liz asks what Max was telling them. He said that he told them everything because the millionaires have no credibility in the world. He says it felt freeing to let it all out. Liz tells Max that she�s found the key, and Max will be happy when he finds out where.

It�s in Shirley Maclaine�s bedroom. It�s all red satin sheets with candles everywhere. A display case with alien artifacts and other spiritual things is in a corner.  Max: "Tell me you�ll ever be in a better place to consummate anything."

Michael is in Utah too. He stands under a giant billboard that reads: "Mormon Family Values: A Family Valued". (There are no billboards like that in Utah or anywhere else.)

Max moves out of the Evans home. He goes to Liz�s back alley and calls up to her � it�s Mr. Parker instead. They exchange stares, and Max leaves.

MICHAEL, THE GUYS, AND THE GREAT SNAPPLE CAPER

Episode 3.2 Cut Scenes 
October 16th
Written By: Ron Moore Directed By: Paul Shapiro

Max finds a new place to stay, but angers his landlord when he uses his powers destructively. He shows up unexpectedly several times to �steal kisses� from Liz.

Michael goes job-hunting at Maria's bidding (as she sips a Snapple). Michael gets a job as night watchman at a shady Roswell company called Meta-Chem. His boss is Karl, head of security and a real unlikeable guy. Karl takes Michael to "orientation", where Michael is the only employee there. Karl shows Michael how to operate a flashlight. He then shows him to his co-workers and their work station.  Everyone is sitting around like robots, staring at monitors. He's introduced to Steve, his supervisor.. Karl leaves after giving Michael a depressing pep talk about how working long hours are their own reward. Karl exits. Everyone eyes the monitors, seeing Karl getting into his car and preparing to leave.  They see Karl driving away and the atmosphere changes immediately. (Maximeyezed: Its interesting that the director change this is the final version to Michael initiating the relaxed behaviour.  It makes Michael much more at fault)  Ties come off, guard uniforms come off revealing assorted tatoos and piercings. Monk changes the view on the monitors to a rugby game, motorcross, and a wrestling match. A poker mat is taken out. George reaches over to take off Michael's clip-on tie, Michael stops his hand and there's a tense moment. Things cool down when Michael is offered a Snapple and the guys start to bond over poker.

We flash forward to scenes from Michael's days on the job: The guys raiding the cafeteria for pizza and Snapple, Michael winning a big hand of poker, Michael losing a big hand at poker, the guys betting on sporting events, Maria looking horrified as Michael attatches a clip-on tie, Michael grilling at the Crashdown excited to get to his other job.

Isabel is talking to Kyle about her relationship with Jesse. He's giving her some pretty good advice, and she's surprised -- "I thought you were supposed to be a dumb jock." She doesn't want to tell him that she's an alien, because of how it's screwed up the lives of the people they've told so far. Kyle says that Isabel and Jesse obviously aren't sleeping together. Isabel confirms that they aren't, and Kyle says that once they start, the cat will be out of the bag. "How do you know?" asks Isabel. Then she puts it together. Tess and Kyle had sex. She's really surprised -- she said she thought that Kyle thought of Tess like a sister. " 'Like' being the operative word," says Kyle. Isabel asks if she's the only one among them who hasn't slept with an alien. They remember Liz, and laugh. (maximeyezed: Hey, Michael hasn't had sex with an alien either!=)

Max asks Liz to meet him in the middle of the night and won�t say why. When they meet, Max asks Liz if she wants him to make her dreams come true. He takes her hand and they go flying, much like in Superman. (Maximeyezed: So glad they went with the hangglider in the final cut)  He also uses a passing train and tractor beam like power to entertain her. Later they smooch while saying goodbye at her staircase, and Max is surprised by Liz�s dad who threatens to send Liz off to boarding school if Max doesn�t stop seeing her. Later he meets her in the Crashdown kitchen and tells her what her father said �she laughs it off.

SIGNIFICANT OTHERS

Episode 3.3 Cut Scenes
October 23rd
Written By: David Simkins
Directed By: Patrick Norris

Liz puts a "dummy Liz" in her bed, which fools her parents and allows her to go see Max.

Jeff lost his true love and Mrs. Parker�s best friend because of his risk taking.

At the Crashdown, Isabel rapid-fires questions of true love at Liz and Maria, which leaves them much confused. She gets a ghostly visitation, from Grant�s ghost, who is still disfigured from his last alien encounter. He warns that any man who loves Isabel Evans is doomed. Isabel breaks up with Jesse without offering explanation. Mr. Evans sees that Jesse had been acting moody and depressed, so he invites him over to dinner. Jesse declines but then shows up later anyway. Mrs. Evans is making wassel cakes, a new dish. (Phillip Evans instructs Jesse to "be kind".) Isabel and Jesse exchange veiled barbs all through dinner, making it clear to the audience that they were recently an item, but the parents are clueless as usual. Jesse apparently wants to know why Isabel broke up with him: "You don't strike me as the kind of woman who'd just walk up to him and say, "It's over. Don't call me again" then just walk away. You'd be straight with him, right? You'd tell him all the reasons why . . . give him something to hang on to . . . something he could use to bandage over the wound where his heart used to be . . . You'd do that, wouldn't you Isabel? For someone who loved you?"

At dinner, Isabel lets Jesse know without alerting her parents that she�s still resolved on their not-being-together issue. Jesse leaves. Before the evening is over, however, Isabel learns from her father Jesse�s reasons for being in Roswell besides the law firm he�s taking care of some very painful family business. This makes Isabel think of Jesse even more highly, and she goes to visit him on his family ranch, with Alex's ghost in tow. There she meets his mother, who seems to know the whole story of Isabel. The mother even knows about Alex and the "baggage" that Isabel must have. (Alex takes offence to being called "baggage".) She tells Isabel that she needs to be free of Alex before she can move on. Jesse comes in and is surprised to see Isabel. They go outside to talk. Jesse starts pruning, and Isabel looks at Alex, silently asking him to leave. He vanishes.

The episode ends without Jesse making a proposal of any kind.

While Maria is happy that Michael plans to stay on earth and build a life for them, she is jealous of Michael spending so much time with "the guys". She reminds him of their Friday night date, and he confirms it. Later, Michael, who is trying to catch some Z�s in his apartment, is interrupted by Isabel, who�s ranting about Jesse; Max, who�s ranting about his relationship with Liz, and Maria, who is ranting about THEIR relationship. The Evanses exit and Michael tells Maria that he is there for her. He then falls asleep and Maria storms out angrily.

At the end of the episode, Mr. Parker threatens to send Liz to an eastern boarding school if she continues to meet Max on the sly.

SECRETS AND LIES

Episode 3.4 Cut Scenes
October 30th
Written By: Russel Friend & Garret Lerner
Directed By: Jonathan Frakes

Mrs. Anderson, at the board, is explaining the assignment. She writes "THE TRUTH" on the chalkboard and tells them that they have a job as investigative journalists, and this week they'll take cameras out into the world to capture truth on tape. 
Liz says there's no way she'll be Kyle's partner. She reminds him of ninth grade, when she was his lab partner for a year and ended up doing all the work. Kyle says it was different then; he was spending most of the time trying to get into her pants. Liz says no. Kyle begs; he really needs to pass this class. Liz sizes him up. He seems genuine.

Act Two:

Liz and Kyle are interviewing Valenti? Liz is shocked at the words "freaking lightning strike". Valenti tells her to shut off the camera. Valenti continues. He says that his father saw aliens everywhere, where they didn't exist and that's what drove him crazy. Liz says that he might not have been crazy after all. "They" look at Liz and wonder what she's talking about.

A limo pulls up to the restaurant. There's a commotion, and valets scramble to open the car door for Kyle Langley, a "Joe Silver type power player". He glides into the restaurant, assistants flocking around him. Jules is in awe. Max has no idea who this is. Jules says he loves the fact that Max doesn�t know squat, and that's why Max needs someone like Jules -- to "pick the hayseeds out of his hair". He says that Kyle Langley is the biggest producer in town, and gets up to go plant Max's name in his brain.

Act Three:

Smoke is pouring out the windows of the Ferrini home. Bunny and Max are lying on the grass, tangled together. Max tears himself away and gets to his feet, but Bunny clings to him, demanding to know who he is and what's going on. Max says it's not safe and they need to get out of there. He pulls her toward his car.
They get out of the car -- in the exact spot where Ferrini's car was in the teaser. Bunny is telling Max what happened. She says that she say a tall man fleeing the scene, but she didn't get a good look at him. He ran off and then seemed to vanish.

Act four:

Jesse is going through stacks of papers with Phillip. Phillip mentions that he ran into a girl at the Crashdown yesterday who would love to catch a movie with Jesse. Jesse demurs. Phillip asks Jesse if he's gay. "Gay?" Jesse asks, a bit astonished.

The Chevelle pulls over to Bunny's apartment building. She asks him to come up, "free of charge". Max looks awkward and declines. She starts to open the door but Max stops her. Bunny asks if whoever blew up Ferrini's place was trying to threaten her. Max says no, they were trying to threaten him and tells Bunny to forget everything about Ferrini and Utah because her life could depend on it. Bunny sees that he's not kidding. She asks if she should forget about Max. He says yes, Bunny says okay and plants one and Max. She gets out of the car and walks toward her apartment. "I hope that girl on the phone knows how lucky she is."

November 6th

Directed By: Bill Norton.

Diane tells the wedding planner that Isabel didn't want to come and wanted to plan the wedding herself. "I know what I like," says Isabel and points out that she organizes the Roswell Christmas Pageant each year. Windy thinks that the "show they do in the park" is just adorable. Isabel says that she's put a lot of thought into the wedding. Windy lists all the things Isabel will need to think of -- budget, food, florist, guest list, dress options from L. A. to New York, a photographer, whether she wants to write her own vows, gift registration, transportation, permits, cake, if she's going to change her last name or hyphenate. Jesse is shocked. Isabel's eyes glaze over. Wendy says that in her world, wedding starts with "we". She asks when they want to have the wedding, and Isabel says in the early summer. Windy flips through a huge calendar and asks if she means 2003. Diane says yes; they're in no rush. Isabel says no; Jesse and she were planning six months at the most. Diane is surprised, Isabel never told her this part. Windy says that all the best locations are already booked. Isabel says that Roswell is one big empty field and there should be no problem finding one to hold her wedding on. Windy goes into the back to check on location files.

At the Crashdown, where Liz has just baked a batch of M&M Tabasco Swirl cookies -- an original recipie. Isabel has just asked Liz and Maria to be bridesmaids and they're pretty shocked. Maria doesn't know who Jesse Ramirez is. Isabel makes it clear that she doesn't want to bond with Liz or Maria; no trips to the mall, no mushiness or they'll get vaporized. Liz and Maria are "dazed" but agree.

At the Evans house, around the dining room table. They�ve just finished a meal where Jesse was unable to tell the difference between lamb and pork. Phillip, Diane, Windy, Isabel, and Jesse are now discussing the wedding. Pamphlets and clippings are everywhere. The men look a little lost, off to the side. Isabel wants roses, but Windy says that they're "so last year" and that daffodils will be the next wave. Diane says she loves daffodils, plus Phillip would "have a coronary" when he saw the bill for the flowers. Jesse sees that Isabel is disappointed and offers that he and his mother will take care of the flowers. Phillip and Diane say absolutely not, and Isabel says that it's tradition that the bride's family pays for all of the wedding. She says that it was just an idea; she'll keep looking for flowers. Philip mentions that the country club has a pond. Isabel protests that it's by a sand trap. Windy says that they can screen the sand trap with some lattice, and maybe have the reception by the pool. Diane thinks this is a great idea. Windy mentions that the club will be booked until next summer. Isabel says that won't work with their timeline. Diane and Phillip share a glance that only Jesse catches. Diane says that they need to "institute a spirit of compromise". Isabel reminds them that she's already given up on her original idea -- what is left to compromise? Windy asks if they should book the club. Diane says yes, but Jesse steps in and says that his family wouldn't be comfortable at the club. Isabel suggests they just have it at the house -- something casual and intimate. Diane says that that's preposterous. Philip mentions the Springfield Inn. "A man after my own heart" says Windy. Diane wants to look at the inn pamphlet again. Everyone delves into the stack of brochures again, and Jesse asks to speak to Isabel. They get up and go into the kitchen. Jesse wants to know what happened back there; he was trying to get her flowers for her, and Isabel sold him out. She says she didn't; no one was into the flowers so she just moved on. Jesse mentions that it's not the only thing they're not on board for. Isabel wants to know what he means by that. Jesse says that he doesn't think her parents are on board for this wedding.

Max is talking to Isabel on the cell phone. He tells her not to make any plans before he gets back. She tells him that she's not a child. Max says that she's sure acting like one. Isabel hangs up and looks at Windy, furious. Windy tries to smile, but beats a hasty retreat. Isabel's phone rings again. "Don't call me again!" she yells into the phone and hangs up.

Max is staring at his phone, shocked that Isabel has hung up on him. He hears a burst of laughter from inside the office and focuses his attention back on that.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD

Episode 3.6 Altered Scenes
Written By: Melinda Metz and Laura Burns
Directed By: Fred Keller.

Teaser:

Liz and Maria are talking Isabel are at the Crashdown, saying how they'd be handling it if they were dealing with it all. (Basket case!) The camera focuses in on Isabel, and we hear the sound of footsteps. Suddenly we're in limbo, neither in this world nor the next. Pools of light are the only relief in the other pitch black darkness. A man is walking toward us. Tall, solidly built. A determined walk. Very powerful prescence. The camera moves to find Isabel standing with her back to us, waiting for him. He stops a little ways from her. He reaches out and lifts her chin, she doesn't flinch. He turns her head this way and that. "Do you approve?" asks Isabel. The Man asks if she needs his approval; Isabel says no. The Man asks if her husband likes this face, Isabel says that he's not her husband. Yet. She asks if he's jealous. He says no and says that Isabel won't marry him. Isabel says that he can't stop her. The Man says that she'll stop herself. Isabel says that he's arrogant. The Man corrects her -- "Confident". Isabel says that she's changed, but The Man says that the only thing she's changed is her body. Isabel says that he's wrong. The Man is right in her face. He says that he knows her. Isabel corrects him; he knew her then. He says that whether it's the past, the present, or the future, it doesn't matter. He takes her in his arms. She pulls back, but only a little. "You're mine," says the man. "We'll see," says Isabel. He leans closer. They repeat the "arrogant" "confident" thing, and then he kisses her. She responds. They're "practically tearing at each other's clothes".

Act One
Isabel shows up. She asks him if he's got a minute. Kyle tosses the tool away and says that he has all the time she needs. They go sit in the shade and Isabel tells him about what she experienced a the Crashdown. She says it was like she ways saying and feeling things that she had no control over � it was totally her but not her at the same time. Kyle says that he understands. She says that it was like watching herself and being herself all at the same thing. Kyle asks if she remember what she said.

Act Three 
An eight ball goes into the pocket. No one can believe it. Eddie, in his thirties, hoots in disbelief. Michael's done this three times in a row now. The bartender thinks it's a trick but Michael points out that it's the bartender's table. Eddie bets a hundred bucks that they can't do it again. Maria steps up -- "Make it two hundred and you've got a bet." The bartender says that he's in for two, and people start throwing money on the table. Maria tells Michael to rack 'em up.

Max is parked in the Chevelle on an out of the way street. Liz leans into the car talking to him. They're talking about how expensive weddings are. Liz jokes that they're going to elope.

We're now at the "Cow Patty Bar and Grill". It's night, and the bachaelor party is in full swing. Valenti and the Kit Shickers are up on stage. Strippers abound and beer flows like water. There are three groups in attendance -- Jesse's Roswell friends: blue collar latino type; Jesse's friends from Harvard: preppy and white; and Max, Michael, and Kyle. The groups are keeping to themselves, except Jesse, who is trying to circulate. Michael and Kyle are both getting lap dances while Max talks to one of the Harvard guys -- Mark -- nearby. Kyle says that he may have to take back every bad thing he's ever said about Max. Max looks over and then ignores him. Michael says that he's the one who should be thanked -- he's the one who made "this" happen (the lap dancers).

The lap dances finish their work on Michael and Kyle and move on. Kyle mentions that they'll be seeing more of them later. A waitress comes by with some drinks. Kyle grabs one but Max declines. Then Michael grabs a drink, too. Max is surprised and reminds him of what happened when Max had just one sip of alchohol. Michael says he doesn't care -- he's actually kind of in the mood for that right now. He throws back the whole drink, and they wait for it to take effect. And wait. Nothing happens.

Kyle basically tells Max to lighten up -- it's a bachelor party. Michael is watching the Harvard people play pool. He asks Kyle what he sees over there that begins with the letter P. "Pair of puppies playing pool?" "Pair of pigeons playing pool," says Michael and leads him over there. He stops and tells Max to "enjoy his stew". Max continues to stare at Jesse, his mood darkening.

Isabel is at home, dressed in pajamas, looking in the mirror. She takes a breath and gets into bed.

Back at the bar. Max is at the bar, drinking a coke, and Jesse comes up, wearing a partially open beer stained shirt. He's had more than a few but calls to the bartender for another drink, and one for "Maxie" too. Max says that he doesn't drink. Jesse says that's good; so Max isn't a total deliquent. He laughs. Max doesn't see any humor in this. Back at the pool tables, Kyle and Michael are hustling pool. Michael's shooting, and Kyle's making the bets. At the bar, a stripper comes over and gives Jesse a kiss.

Jesse's full of drunken honesty and telling Max what he thinks of him. He says that Max tore his family up in side and then just walked away. Does Max even know what Isabel's been going through.

Kyle is playing one of the Harvard guys, Richie, who is very good at pool. He sinks two shots while making condescending comments toward Kyle and Michael.

Jesse steps in and asks what's going on. Richie calls Kyle and Michael red-necks. Kyle tries to slip past Michael and says he'll five them their money back in a minute -- he wants to see what "Stats here" is doing. Michael grabs Kyle. "I'm right here," says Richie. Max intervenes and tries to get everyone calmed down. Mark tries to push past Max and says that it doesn't concern him. Max grabs him. "Hey!" shouts Mark. Jesse tells Max to get his hands off his friends. "Shut up Jesse, you�re drunk." Says Max. "Who the hell do you think you --" starts Jesse, and then things start happening. Jesse shoves Max, hard. Max whirls around and lets go of Richie. Mark lunges past him toward Kyle, who's still fuming. Michael swings at Richie and connects with his jaw. Suddenly everyone is throwing punches. The bartender leaps over the bar with a bat. Valenti and the band keep right on singing. Fade out.

Act Four: 
The wedding! Isabel (Amanda) Evans and Jesse (Esteban) Ramirez are exchanging vows and rings. They kiss. Wedding bells. Cheers. Happiness. Now at the reception, later that night. More cheers and applause as Jesse and Isabel walk through the crowd, shaking hands, hugging, etc, with the crowd. Kyle (during the wedding and reception) is videotaping it all.
