Previously on Roswell, New Mexico.

Do you love him?

More than anything.

Take the time to figure out what you want.

You have Abuela's ring in your hand, don't you? Sounds like a bad thing. I

can't help but wonder if it's the right time.

FBI looks good on you, Agent Camera.

I think this heist was committed by aliens.

There's a bank robbery over in Las Cruces. Cam thinks it's aliens.

Did Alex ever determine if Joan was able to?

send a transmission through the Lockhart machine.

I thought I'd give you something that helped me. My mentor, Allie Myers, she

always says everything is theoretically impossible until you make it a reality.

This is what I tried as much to do.

Oh, my God, are you serious?

Roswell was once just a blip on the map where cows outnumbered cowboys.

That is, till the mystery fell out of the sky.

Check the wavelength readings.

How many balloons went down?

Over time, the legend faded into fairy tale.

UFO enthusiasts never found cosmic proof that we are not alone in the universe.

We went from hiding in plain sight to living in peace.

Until the sky fell again.

The thing about legends is they never really fade.

And this time around, there was no place to hide.

Tell me you found

something.

Perfect timing.

I mean, test after test confirmed it's just a case of St. Elmo's fire.

Scientific. St. Elmo's fire.

It's an electromagnetic corona discharge that glows due to high levels of

plasmic voltage that rip apart molecules in the stratosphere.

It's Earth science.

It's not alien.

We saw green streaks and shimmering rain because that is how our eyes perceive

ionized protons.

But for the cameras, I wrote it all down for your press conference, Sheriff.

Well, I'd rather be chasing bank robbers than smiling for cameras, but at least

we only have one mystery of the alien variety to deal with for now.

You think they come in peace?

Or are they part of Jones' contingency plan?

I don't know.

Breaking into bank vaults isn't exactly a sign that they have good intentions.

Okay. I'm going to cover a shift at the crashdown.

Buffy is drowning in a tourist.

You don't hate me, right, for needing more time?

No, of course not.

I couldn't be mad at you.

I found a healthy balance with you, Max.

And that's the key to our future together, so I just need to figure out a

sustain it.

Well, wherever the road takes you, I will be right by your side.

Hello. How have you been?

Of course.

I mean, that's okay. I'm late for Max's press conference.

You cannot start your day without a Shatner shake. It is part of his

breakfast. Plus, why would you want to rub those cute little elbows against

sweaty rednecks who believe that chemtrails are controlling our minds,

Obviously, it's the aliens controlling our minds.

You don't actually believe in them.

benevolent creatures from another planet, do you? I believe in

And if a possibility is going to lead me to a story, I'll pursue it. Like the

St. Elmo's fire?

If I wanted to report on the weather, I'd be a meteorologist.

I want to ask Max about the bank robbery.

Well, insider tip, I don't think Max is going to be very helpful about that. He

told me that the FBI is handling it.

Apparently, Sheriff Evans is going to be on yoga patrol all day.

Thanks for the tip. And the milkshake. Can I get that to go?

I thought we were going to, like, hang out. He's never stopped.

Oh, I forgot him on keto. Keto milkshake.

Sorry, babe. My milkshakes are delicious.

It's good.

Back me up on this pancake, Poppy.

Delicious. You're hired. Start with refills on table five.

And the dishes. Thank you.

My boss would like a raspberry shake.

And she also requested Liz Ortego to deliver two on the roof.

What you saw last night was nothing more than a harmless bit of physics. Think

of it as Mother Nature putting on a free light show. As for the so -called

flying saucers, there is a research firm in the area that is studying weather

patterns. Some of their equipment went down during the storms.

Listen, I understand that you're frustrated.

We have tourists coming in from all over thinking this is some kind of invasion.

You have a lot of questions, and I promise I will get you real answers

That's what they said in 1947.

Open your eyes.

Last night was a harbinger of what's to come. The plasma -activated microchips

in our brains that were implanted by Venusian parasites swimming in our tap

water. That explains your low IQ.

Look me in the eye and tell me the shimmering stuff isn't alien.

They won't tell you the truth, but I will.

At my museum pop -up, Graham Green's Galactic Gulch.

So, I'm guessing people weren't buying what you're selling. Yeah, that's

it was science. You told me those balloons were above board. They are.

the ones that we've retrieved.

So far, show any signs of alien activity.

The goo on Graham's, it shimmered like alien glass.

We set off 40 balloons over southern New Mexico, and we retrieved six of them

from the field. Those were fine, but in case any of the other ones have strange

anomalies, I'll hit the road and track them down. But it's probably going to be

a while until I know anything. Okay, well, that's all right. I've got to

down some intergalactic fugitives anyway.

Sick travels, Mains.

Thanks.

Oh, uh, what do you want?

Oh, I don't... You know what? Why don't you make sure Garen stays out of

trouble, yeah?

Yeah.

Absolutely phenomenal.

My wife said you were a brilliant scientist, but she never mentioned your

culinary skills.

Your wife?

Allie Myers, your former professor.

She could not stop talking about how great you are. You're Allie's wife?

Mm -hmm. Wait, didn't she marry some tech billionaire?

I prefer visionary futurists.

Shivani Sen, founder of Senovative Enterprises.

Scotch? He didn't come all the way to Roswell for his bike milkshake, so...

an unexplained event happens in a town known for mysterious sci -fi

my helicopter lands the next morning.

Serious, sure.

But if you're not going to make any money off of a lightning storm, New

we have ten of those a day.

Oh, not everything is about money, Liz.

Allie and I got married on this charming little island on the Galapagos. You

should have seen how excited she was about the algae.

But government wouldn't let her touch it, so I had no choice but to step in.

by step in, you mean... I purchased it.

Yeah.

But for love, Liz. Not for profit.

Studying it made her happy.

At a certain point, money gets boring.

Discovering the secrets of the universe that no one else knows.

That's where this one is.

Now you sound like a scientist.

No, I just share their thirst for knowledge.

So I employ lots of them.

Allie said that you develop patents at Generics.

So you're here to offer me a job.

If Liz Ortega wanted a job, she'd already have one.

I see this more as a partnership between two very inquisitive minds.

I'm taking a step back from research.

Focusing on teaching.

Good for you.

I brought you a gift.

But if you're not sciencing anymore, maybe I shouldn't have.

What is it? Technically, it's a re -gift.

Don't hate me, but one of my researchers trampled on it out in the field.

Poor little guy.

I already sequenced its genome, but I thought you'd enjoy a good puzzle.

I gotta get back to my tables.

My contact info is in your inbox.

If you want to probe the mysteries of Roswell, come find me.

Keep it on the down low. I love it. I want some more of it. I try so

hard. Go on, it's a backup.

Sing with me.

I don't know the words.

Well, make it up.

Every song is about falling in or out of love.

We should get back. Jessica wanted to lay low until she tracked down the next

assignment. We have been working nonstop since we crawled out of our pod six

months ago. Aren't you even a little curious about Earth?

What's there to be curious about? It's a rock filled with inferior beings.

Humans may be primitive compared to us, but the one thing they do better is fun.

Come on, we can catch a movie, sip a little tequila.

Oh, I've been dying to try those patty meltdowns from the commercials.

Why indulge in the base pleasures of a dying civilization?

Just lunch. And the more we know about this planet's customs, the better we can

definitely navigate through it.

Right?

What's wrong with your eyes?

Well, apparently this is how the females in their species convince the lesser

males to do their bidding.

How can I say no to that?

Get in.

Feeling better, Mr. Adams?

Yes.

Good. Thanks to your attractive care.

Attentive, I meant.

Attentive. Damn it.

Well, that really ruins my plan.

Your plan?

To... get you to ask me out.

I was going to bump into you in the hall.

There's going to be a hair flip, some jokes I won't say in front of Grandpa.

But now, when you're deciding whether to call me, would you please imagine I was

clever and coy?

I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks.

Not so.

got cut by one of those fallen weather balloons.

Needed stitches.

Or maybe you're not here as a patient.

You're here as a reporter.

One of my contacts at the FBI sent me a lead. A teller was admitted yesterday

with a mild concussion and memory loss. Which is weird, because he never hit her

head. Well, in traumatic experiences like robberies, can induce amnesia. I

talked to five other tellers. All the same. The only guy who remembers

was hiding under a desk. and all he saw was a long fringe jacket with turquoise

embroidery.

It's like their minds have been wiped.

Don't you find that odd?

HIPAA prohibits me from discussing my patients with anyone, especially a

reporter.

Consider me issued away.

Where'd you find this?

It was a gift from a billionaire. It's a long story.

But I sequenced its genome, and its DNA has been altered.

So we're a couple plagues away from death of the firstborn.

Except locusts aren't native to New Mexico.

They are grasshoppers that have been genetically mutated under the right

environmental conditions. So maybe this locust was infected by the Sonoma fire.

And you want to dissect it to confirm your hypothesis.

Open it up.

What just happened?

No, maybe he got... It's... Look, they operate on a hive mind.

So if the St. Elmo's fire altered their genetic sequence, maybe it activated

their swarm instinct. To what end?

To point them somewhere. I think maybe this locust is a kind of beacon.

Look who's coming out of retirement.

Oh, my God. I'm so late for class. Can you... Consider the bug goo baton pass.

Yeah, sorry to disappoint, but there's not going to be a wedding.

Liz needed a little more time to figure some things out.

Jeez.

Sorry, Evans.

I mean, you must be pretty thin about it, considering the grid's still up and

running. Well, she didn't say no. It was more like eventually.

You know, have faith we'll take that step sooner.

You want to bust out the stash of rye in my trunk and mope to some reba?

Something. But I'd rather catch these bank robbers so I can get back to the

dozen other pressing matters I have on my watch. Copy that, interim sheriff.

Um... CSI did a sweep.

No fingerprints or third helix DNA to worry about.

The cameras are fritzed out, and the vault door was unlocked from the inside.

OK. Then some of the boxes are still intact.

So what's missing?

Nada. And they obviously don't care about the cash since it ended up all

Main Street.

All right. Any progress on the boxes they took from Las Cruces? One box.

And records aren't digitized, so I've got myself a hot date with a stack of

files.

I just wish we knew their names.

Alien robber one and two doesn't really roll off the tongue.

Sheriff, your consultant's here. Right.

I called for him.

This is a police investigation.

Yeah, and the suspects are aliens.

Okay.

Cam, meet Dallas.

Mm -hmm.

The infamous pod squad preacher who can hear prayers.

Good thing I'm an atheist who says everything that's on my mind.

Not everything, apparently.

Okay, newbie. I could use some of that consulting right about now.

Why don't you use your alien muscles and reconstruct this lamp?

Uh... I could, but it doesn't take telekinesis. The base is missing.

Oh, point for the preacher.

Okay, so they broke this lamp, took the base, but left this other one intact.

So what's so special about this one?

I don't know.

But if they're willing to break into a bank to get it, we don't want them to

have it.

Here,

try mine. There's about three different types of cheeses.

Why three?

I barely understand the one. It seems cruel to dress the calf in our own

mother's milk.

Oh, here we go again.

How many resources were wasted appeasing this gluttony?

Humanity behaves as if their excess is everlasting.

And their culture may be lively, but what I've witnessed is a compulsive

tendency for self -destruction.

I've already lived through one world, Armageddon. Yeah, well, this Armageddon

hasn't happened yet.

This is our chance to experience the oasis of our childhood.

There can be no pleasure until there's no suffering.

Earth, do an awakening.

Well, let's wake this place up.

Here, love.

I bet you're right. These are delicious.

This place isn't without its charms, but this is not our home.

And changing it is not what we came here to do.

You're still here right now.

I'm a Monte Carlo officer.

Hey, man, it's the one on the news.

Why'd you go and do that?

Greetings, earthlings.

Hey, uh, we're actually here about a tip that was called in. There are two

suspects driving around in a money car, though.

There must be a mistake, officer. I just opened up. We don't usually get

customers till the lunch rush.

Who ordered the buffet, then?

I'm not sure. That wasn't there a minute ago.

I should clean up.

Oh, no, you know what? Actually, I would love to try one of your Milky Way

malts. If you can grab that, we'll take care of this. Yeah, sure thing.

Bank tellers don't remember seeing our robbers either.

What is this, a Jedi mind trick thing that Isabel's a pro at?

It's a whole new power.

Right.

Well, it's good to know what we're dealing with.

Hey, y 'all got this, right? I'll be right back.

It's a preacher man story.

His dad designed all the tech that made cloning possible in Oasis.

I mean, you know, is he into Cornhole at the Pony or darts at Planet Seven?

What?

Wait a sec.

Looks like our bank robbers have a sense of humor.

Bonnie and Clyde, huh?

Cute.

So you're saying that the plasma turned the locus into some sort of alien

magnet? All I know is this room is full of alien glass and turquoise, but the

guts were only attracted to that console.

Oh, hey, hey, hey.

Be careful with that, please.

Hey, alien tech emits frequencies, right? Maybe that is what is attracting

guts to your console.

In this substance, it looks identical to what was on Graham's weather balloon.

Can I borrow the console and run a diagnostic at deep sky?

For what?

Well, I bet that Graham's weather balloon isn't the only one that had an

unfortunate run -in with the locusts. If their guts are attracted to the

frequency that your console emits, then maybe I can amplify that frequency and I

can track the other balloon.

Well, that sounds like a lot of ifs and not a lot of payoff.

Well, the payoff is if it works, I won't spend weeks traipsing around the

desert, and I can come home to you sooner.

Like a piece of alien tech, I don't like being parted from my alien.

I hate being away from you two.

This is part of my history. It is the closest thing that I have to a family

heirloom.

I could study it here.

Your equipment is crazy glue and popsicle sticks compared to what we have

Deep Sky. Then I will study it with crazy glue and popsicle sticks.

Got it.

Which brings us to the noble gases.

High tea with Xena on anyone?

Yes. What fell out of the sky last night?

Guys, St. Elmo's fire will not be on your exam, which is two weeks away.

It's called St. Elmo's fire? Yeah, but it's really just nitrogen and oxygen

reacting to atmospheric electricity.

Ionization.

Okay.

Okay, no harm in taking a tiny detour to explain the secrets of the universe.

It's kind of hard to reproduce in a lab, but it operates a little bit like a

Tesla coil.

Vanessa, where are you going? If it's not on the GED, I'm gone. Stop holding

all hostage while you relive some real -life fantasy of being a scientist.

We can't keep erasing people's memories, Bonnie.

Eventually someone is going to notice. I'm sorry for almost getting us caught.

You do so much for me. I just wanted to show you how much I appreciate that.

Today was fun.

Every burger, every song is a detour that keeps us from our destiny.

You have my word.

Where to next?

Well, Tess is searching for a lost relic, and I think I know where it is.

Okay, so I talked to my buddy Jim over there. He saw the whole thing go down.

He said that he thinks that Bonnie and Clyde are angels on account of the

flickering when they took off. They also left this newspaper, but the front page

has been torn out.

Wait a minute.

Yeah, no, they weren't brushing up on current affairs. Graham Greene took out

this ad for his new museum pop -up. I thought this was nonsense.

Yeah, I learned four languages at Quantico and Space Wingdings wasn't one

them. I don't recognize these symbols either.

I think Graham Greene does.

What's up, Doc? I got your text.

Why are you wearing a Crestone uniform?

Oh, like you're the only one that can have two jobs? Come on, spill.

Your intrepid reporter girlfriend is being a little too intrepid. I already

steered her away from Max's investigation.

Directly toward my patient.

Look, I caught her interviewing witnesses from the bank, guys.

What did you even say to her?

I don't know. It might have been, like, just, like, the slightest bending of the

truth. Right, Isabel, she isn't going to stop digging.

Okay, so what do you suggest that I do? Well, that's for you to decide.

But in a relationship, white lies are still lies.

Thank you for the intel.

What are you doing here?

Well, we can't save the universe on an empty stomach.

Infinity and Beyond Burger, just how you like it.

You know what they say.

If you can't do, teach. If you can't teach, waitress.

What do you mean if you can't teach?

I'd have to be prepping them for their GED exam, but instead I got pulled into

their excitement about atmospheric plasma.

Vanessa actually walked out.

I am failing her.

And all I want to do is help her live her best life.

What do you do when you have cop problems I can't help you with?

I call Michelle Valenti.

She understands what it takes to be a sheriff.

I wish you had that.

I need someone to help me be a better mentor, because I can't do this on my

Yeah, well, maybe start with some support.

Hmm.

What is this?

It's a spectrum analyzer. I'm trying to detect any unusual currencies being

emitted by the console.

Try and be in the keyword.

Why don't you ask your pretty -looking fellow to help out? He's got all the

cutting -edge gadgets, doesn't he?

His console's the closest I've ever come to finding a way back to our planet.

I'm not going to let them mess it up at Deep Sky.

You don't trust Alex to take care of it?

Not in the same way I trust myself, no.

It's not his dream.

Yeah, but it's yours.

And he loves you.

That's what it means to walk through this crazy little thing called life with

someone, kid.

Venturing into uncomfortable territory.

Hey, Max.

Got a second?

I really don't, announcer.

I'll make it quick.

I am writing a piece about the bank heists.

Y 'all go on without me.

That is not my jurisdiction.

That's what Isabel said.

That the FBI was running point.

But that was Agent Jenna Cameron.

Sure looks like you're working the case.

Isabel should stay out of things she's not a part of.

Why is the FBI being kept out of the loop?

My contacts say that Agent Cameron has an updated experience.

You should ask her. I'm asking you because there's a hospital full of...

Witnesses of collective amnesia.

No one seems to find that out.

I interviewed every single witness from the banks.

No one saw anything.

What about the woman in the strange jacket?

No, it's true.

Let me help you. Give me something.

Anything. Don't do that.

Look, I respect your line of work and the conversations that we've had.

We may have different opinions, but we always start with respect.

Don't take advantage of the kindness I've shown you. The fact that you'd ever

think I'd cross that line. I don't know where your line is.

Stop talking to me like the brother of the woman you're sleeping with. When I

wear this uniform, I am Sheriff Evans.

Kill the story or I... Go ahead.

Finish that sentence.

Look, it's been a day.

Just... Please, let this go.

Do you want to give me a story? I'll go get it on my own.

Hey, Green.

A word?

The meet and greet isn't until later. Don't care.

What's the deal with the symbol on your newspaper ad?

Sigil.

Lingua Omnimotus Cosmica.

The language of the ancient travelers?

Episode 82 of the Daily Probe. The sigil is from a trusted source within the

government. I am the government.

Talk, or I'll get a warrant to shut down this bizarro bazaar. Good luck finding

a judge in Roswell who's willing to turn away our beloved tourism.

My assistant said you might come by. Come on, I'll give you a tour.

Actually,

I'm trying to get a hold of Allie. She was an important mentor for me in

college, and I need her advice.

Of course.

What did you want to talk to her about?

The reason I took a step back from the research is because I am trying to find

better work -life balance.

Every time I encounter an exciting scientific problem, everything else

exist. Where do you think you learned those bad habits?

Whenever Allie gets excited about a new project, she goes full -on rabbit hole.

She doesn't respond to messages, abandoned social media, disappears into

work. So don't take it personally.

She doesn't get back to you.

So where is Allie now?

Mexico?

Unless I heard.

That's got to be tough.

To be a part.

When Allie and I were young, I loved how passionately she dove headfirst into a

project.

If she was certain that once she was finished this one trial, that would be

Her itch for discovery would be scratched.

But every time, trial would produce some surprising results, and then there

would be a new trial.

I don't want my life to be a series of trials I disappear into.

Then don't let it.

Someone's got to be home in time to make dinner for our daughter.

Speaking of, 15 minutes and then we call it.

How do you do that? How do you step back?

Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

And I remind myself of that every day.

And, hey, I have a lot of help. If you ever need mine, you know where to find

me.

Graham Green.

There you are.

I've been looking for you.

I think Graham's talking to one of the bank robbers.

Huh?

They were having this intense staring contest, and then Graham wrote something

down, and...

Okay, all right, all right. Just breathe.

Just breathe. Hey, hey, let's go and talk somewhere, okay?

Let's go. Hey.

They'll give me some good news, Cam.

I need something to go right tonight.

Yeah, I may have come on a touch strong with our little green con man.

Dallas went to smooth things over.

Do -si -do for old time's sake?

Yep.

Is it?

Our savior.

We got your message.

Why are you dressed like that?

Hiding in plain sight.

What took you so long? It's been six months.

We've been collecting what you asked for.

It hasn't been easy.

She will be so pleased I found you.

I'm looking forward to meeting Bonnie.

I wasn't talking about her.

You're not our savior. You're the clone.

You're nothing but genetic waste.

Put down the magic hand.

Ophiuchus will rise again.

Why are you blowing up my phone?

I have to meet my probation officer in like 30 minutes, and unlike some people,

I don't have the luxury of being late.

You don't have a probation officer, Vanessa.

In fact, there's not even a court mandating you take your GED.

You dropped out when your dad got sick, and you needed to help your family pay

for treatments.

Well, congratulations.

You internet stopped me.

Look, you do not need to listen to a word I say, but you should listen to

someone.

have potential don't waste it found a scholarship for you to apply

to was reminded today that before you can achieve anything in life you've got

attend to your own needs don't push aside your desire to go to college just

because you think you can't afford it i appreciate you being all stand and

deliver but this only covers tuition do you know how much books and rent cost

these days That's why I asked you to meet me here.

Introduce you to my dad.

My daughter's recommendations mean everything.

If you need some cash, you can pick up extra shifts here. Whenever you want.

Can I swap out the music?

Don't push your luck, kid.

Hey.

What was the origin?

You were right.

Take the console with you to your secret treehouse.

Michael, you don't have to do that. Yeah, I do.

I was stuck on this idea that this console was my way home. A place that I

dreamt of my entire life.

Now I realize you are my

home.

And I trust you to take care of my dreams.

Your dreams and your heart.

I hope I'm gone for days, not weeks. But I promise I will come home to you.

So?

What do you say?

Get the sucker on the road to deep sky?

Yeah, I don't think we need to.

I thought I could get me home sooner. And I know you were having trouble

settling in. And I didn't want you to feel abandoned.

But I have faith that our relationship can survive being apart.

I do.

I have something for you.

They're made of the first piece of alien glass I ever found. And the piece is...

They want to be together.

I trust that no matter what comes our way next, no matter how far apart from

each other we are in this world, we will always...

find our way back to each other.

Baby, in the six months that we have shared a bed, you have never once missed

target. I can't stop thinking about this story and how Max is trying so hard to

bury you. I know he's your brother, but it seems like there's another reason

you're protecting him.

There's not. I just know better than to interfere in an active investigation.

There's something very strange happening in this town, and you don't even seem

fazed by it.

Which leads me to believe you know something I don't. I don't even know

you're talking about, babe, honestly. I know when you're keeping something from

me. You must have known your brother was working with his former partner. I

didn't, babe. I don't. Don't lie to me.

I promised myself that I would never do this to someone that I loved.

And if you keep going down this road, you are going to run into forces more

powerful than you are prepared for.

I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you, Ananta. So please,

step away from this story for my sake.

Watch TV.

Order Thai food.

I believe you.

I suddenly have a craving for Petsy, you and Great British Brickle.

Join me?

I'm sorry. I just, um... I just remembered that I have... I have to go.

It looks like we're celebrating a special occasion, Mama.

I figure we could use a little special tonight.

Did you find what you were looking for?

I did, thanks to you.

I made a new friend.

She's brilliant and unconventional and in a tax bracket that should entirely be

illegal.

But she gets me.

Ellie Myers.

She made me the scientist I am today, but I think her wife is going to help me

become the woman I want to be.

I'm very glad you found your person.

You are my person, Megs. And I might not be any match for Michelle and

Pete's age wisdom, but I know when you've had a bad day.

No, I just, I tried so hard all day to be an exemplary sheriff.

And I just crashed and burned.

And then I got nothing substantial out of Graham.

Top it all off, I had to pretend to be Jones while I

watched his contingency plan slip through my fingers.

Being sheriff...

You're supposed to be in control. I mean, that's part of the responsibility

this badge.

I guess power just shows you who you really are.

Hey.

You're not Jones.

I'm no one's clone.

That chapter is behind us.

But it does worry me.

You know, having power, along with everything that comes with the

responsibilities of this badge.

You're helping me find my center.

I'm gonna help you find yours.

As enticing as that R -rated mental offer was, I

think I'm going to have to walk away from temptation.

Well, maybe another time.

Good job today.

The pod squad is lucky to have you.

That's right, here's where the talking ends.

I don't think I will.

You're Jones at the contingency plate.

One part.

You're about to be another.
