| At Alexs funeral, Max confronts
Valenti, angrily insisting that Alex did not commit suicide. Valenti lets Max read the
police report. Back at Alexs house, Liz asks the almost-as-tall-as-TVR Mr. Whitman
if she can go up to Alexs room. Once inside, Liz asks Alex for help in proving his
death wasnt a suicide. She spots a book of Robert Frosts poetry, with two Beth
Orton concert tickets marking the page of the poem "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy
Evening." Its apparently the clue shes been looking for. Liz gathers
the others in Alexs room, then tells them that though the sheriffs office is
implying Alex committed suicide, she knows he didnt. Max says the evidence is pretty
overwhelming that its true. Liz hold up the concert tickets, and insists that Alex
bought them on the day he died, probably for him and Isabel. Why would he buy concert
tickets if he were planning to kill himself? Tess says thats slim evidence, and
Maria snarls that Tess doesnt know what the hell shes talking about. Michael
attempts to calm them down, but then Liz states that Alex was murdered, maybe by an alien.
Isabel angrily asserts that this had nothing to do with them, but Liz shouts back that
Isabel could be involved, because of her previous life with Khivar. Max argues, telling
Liz she doesnt know anything about their world, but Liz yells, "You don't want
to think that Alex was killed by an alien because that would mean you are
responsible!" Isabel, Max, Michael and Tess leave, and Kyle states that its
"us against them."
At the Crashdown, Liz looks at photos and remembers Alex. The delivery boy shows up,
bringing along the receipt that Alex had signed. But Alex didnt sign his name, he
signed a series of ones and zeros, a binary code. Liz realizes she now has more evidence
to support her theory.
