The next day, Isabel and Max come home to find their house ransacked and the files from the dome gone. Valenti and his deputy are at the house investigating when the deputy spots Isabel’s necklace. He tells her he hasn’t seen anything like that since he was back on the reservation. When Michael learns of this, he wants to head immediately to the reservation, but Max stops him. It is Liz who goes, taking the necklace with her, and there meets River Dog, an mysterious, elderly Native American. He sees the pendant and later sends a message to her to come back to the reservation at night. She returns, this time with Max; they enter a dark cave, and Max uses his powers to make light with his hands, thereby passing River Dog’s test. Within the cave, the walls are filled with alien symbols and drawings. River Dog tells them of a man whose life he saved a long time ago, and says the man was like Max.
