| Isabel is envious when Max
and Liz experience flashes when they kiss; the visions are of a galaxy in which their home
planet may be located. Maria is jealous as well, and tries to create flashes of her own
with Michael. Alex offers himself as a resource to Isabel, suggesting maybe they could
find out more about the home planet if they were to engage in some making out of their
own. Isabel refuses, rolling her eyes. Later, she and Michael talk Max into exploiting the
kiss-and-see-visions, suggesting maybe they’ll see more if they continue their sexual
relationship. Isabel and Michel do their best to set a romantic scene for Max and Liz in
Michael’s new apartment. Isabel dims the lights and Michael cues up Chaka Khan just
before letting Max and Liz alone, but they are interrupted before they get too carried
away. Later, Liz draws a picture of something
she’s seen in her dream, which turns out to be a nearby radio tower. She and Max make
the trip to the site, and as they prepare to once again engage in foreplay, Liz hears a
beeping. Determining that it’s coming from the ground, they begin to dig, and
suddenly a ray of light bursts through. Max reaches in and lifts out an orb inscribed with
the recurring alien symbol. Isabel goes to Alex’s house and informs him her brother
is missing. She tells him she’s decided to take him up on his offer to try to find
out more, à la Liz and Max. They kiss, but see no visions or flashes. Max and Liz wake up
in the desert the next morning, next to their excavation site. Watching them is a man who
tells them they are on private property and should go home; it is the same man who
murdered Hank. They return to two sets of angry parents, waiting at the Crashdown.
