Previously on Roswell, New Mexico.

They should restore your powers. Max doesn't want the cure.

He's made his choice. What happened to the mist? I've inhaled a bit. It opened

my mind up to infinite possibilities, including one that is so close to my

heart. She's dead. She doesn't have to be. That mist will not regenerate human

cells. You have created a compound that boosts brain power beyond limit

measures. It's the brilliant Liz Ortego. Try it just a little. No, Shivani,

don't do it.

She's barely breathing. Are you sure you know what you're doing? No. I got no

idea, but I got the alien doc in my ear.

Grab the heart rate monitor.

Do we need one for Shivani, too?

No, that kept her incentivated. She's not as bad. Liz must have taken the

of that myth.

Valenti, you got any idea what a gallon of performance -enhancing alien solution

could do to a human? When is he supposed to get here? It's going to be a little

while. Kyle's in Korea tracking Alan Myers.

Sorry, he's in Mexico?

Yeah, it's a long story. Did you call your dad? No. About alien drugs?

Absolutely not. Nobody wants him here screaming over justice for his

All right, temp is 101 .3.

Heart rate's dropping. Is there anyone else a deep guy that can help us? He

there's no one who knows more about alien science than me, which is

to no one. So we need to find the naloxone.

Valencia said it'll block the drug, reverse its effect.

That's for opioids, not alien narcotics. How can he be so sure that that's going

to work? He can't.

Hey, it's going up. That's good.

Valencia said it needs to be closer to 60.

Okay, this is an alien problem. Maybe we need to attack it in an alien way. If

we jump into her mind... The team is comatose, and you are basically human.

have no idea what this is doing to her brain. Right, exactly, which is why we

need to talk to a scientist. No offense, Michael.

Okay, well, I will go in then alone.

No, if anyone can reach her in there, it's me.

We need answers.

Okay, fine.

You coming?

No, I think you got it. I gotta make a phone call.

Kim?

You ready for this?

I don't get it.

When you were in trouble, your mind was crumbling.

Maria's was haunted. Why is Liz's so normal?

I don't think horses are normal.

And neither are they.

Cowboy bodyguards.

Can't say that she doesn't have a type.

Hey, any of you buckaroos know where we can find Liz Orteco?

Don't do this.

I'm here to help.

Did you find Liz? No, with the cowboy and Elm Street in there. I got shot

What about Max?

Why isn't he waking up? Oh, God.

Max got taken.

Is he trapped inside?

I think they both are.

Or is this a mindscape?

Surprise! Surprise!

Ten years, Sheriff.

What a feat.

Sheriff of my own mind.

Cute. I'm sure Freud will be interested in that one.

Uh, where's Max?

On his book tour.

Oh.

He finally wrote his novel.

His third novel. You okay, Sheriff?

Yeah. Yeah, I will be as soon as I wake up.

But if I can't wake up, then

this is definitely a mindscape. Liz, it's Max.

He's been kidnapped.

Max kidnapped.

Elizabeth Evans murdered.

It's unthinkable.

Why here? Why Max?

Why you?

I don't know about the first two, but seeking justice will never be out of my

blood. I may be retired, but Deputy Majetes still gets skills.

Deputy Maj... No, you can stay put.

Little sisters, don't get to boss the family around.

Shouldn't you be free to cow low in this? This is your man we're talking

okay? I already spoke to the bartender, and she said she only heard one shot

fired. So the real question, how does a gunslinger as fast as Isabel Evans...

Get got.

Because Isabel Evans isn't a gunslinger.

She's an alien swordswoman.

Think, Liz. Think, think, think.

Okay, it was... I was arguing with Shivani. She broke the canister.

I inhaled the mist.

That is why I'm trapped in my own tombstone mindscape. Every time that we

trapped in one of these rodeos, it's because the person whose head we're

That's something to sort out. Liz, you're traumatized. No, no, no, no. I

I'm thinking very clearly.

What I need to do is follow the path and figure out why I'm here. Max is

missing. Take a minute, mija. I can't. In order to wake up, I have to solve the

riddle, okay? And the first step is to find it.

Liz, mira.

That's the direction of... My house.

Asking you shall receive.

Okay, machete. Stay here. Vamos.

Surrender, Sheriff, or the real Max dies.

What does he mean, real Max? He means Max came in after me.

But if he dies in here, he's not going to die out there. He'll just get

Unless... Who cared to ask?

Sweaty palms.

Poor pulse.

In the real world, I'm dying.

I can't get back in.

It's like a barrier.

Shivani's doc said the drugs turn her into Jimmy Neutron. Before she passed

she was writing formulas on the board and subjects she never even studied.

If the alien proteins in that compound grafted onto Liz's cells, maybe it's

giving her mind the ability to bind Max inside.

In other words, Max is stuck in there until Liz wakes up? Or until Liz dies.

In which case, Max dies too.

She's got a rash on her chest.

Her pulse is declining. What do we do now, Garen? How would I know?

I engineer alien tech, not body.

Clearly, Kyle trusted you. Because he had no choice.

Maybe it's time to call a doctor. Because right now, it might as well be

working on them.

I already called one.

Keith? You're back in Roslyn? For the time being.

It's good to see you're not dangling out a window, but last I checked, man,

you're a scientist. You're not a physician.

Actually, I am back in Mexico, but thanks for the warm welcome. The only

who can beat Heath in an alien science fair are either in Mexico or... So

the prognosis?

I can't be sure until I run some more tests, but cold hands, fever, rash,

be autoimmune.

Meaning? Meaning that the mist could be causing your body to attack itself.

I'm going to give her some steroids. It should suppress the immune response

while at least in normal circumstances.

But nothing is normal in Roswell.

Is it working?

Yes, but not like I'd hoped.

I need to mix up something stronger.

Alien toxins call for alien cure.

Shocking.

Do you need help?

No, no. You should stay here with them.

And do what?

I'm going to read them a bedtime story?

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

I mean, from what you've all said about mindscapes, they sound like a

convergence of our conscious and subconscious mind.

You throw in a little trauma, and you've basically got a coma.

And coma patients react well to familiar voices around them.

Okay, I'll show you to the lab.

Well, this is it.

The Den of Outlaws, which you have raided many times and don't seem to

Okay, if my mind conjured up a villain to kidnap Max and this is where villains

go, then someone here probably knows who took him.

I know this song.

Maria sings it when something's wrong.

Yeah, I mean, there's plenty wrong.

Max is missing and you think that we're living in a parallel universe? Yes, one

where Max's fate is tied to mine. Look, we gotta find him and get out of here

before I die. You guys are way too codependent.

Hey.

I gotta get up there.

I'm looking for Max.

He's been taken.

Got some real hot pistols up there.

Keep your wits about you.

High stakes hold 'em.

Starring Michael as Doc Holliday. I figure.

And there's his partner in crime.

We'll be over there if you need anything.

That guy's a yellow -bellied something or other.

Took all my tequila money.

This one's on the house.

Hey. To calm the nerves.

Slain drinks instead of serums, huh? Good for you.

My God, that is bitter.

Tastes like medicine.

I'm overdosing.

Always happy to help.

Sanders is right, though.

That guy's robbing the locals blind.

You going after him?

Let's move.

Is there a problem?

Sheriff?

You.

Where's Mac?

If you want anything from me, you have to win it in the game.

I have to play poker to learn a lesson.

It's all very literal.

How about we take a shortcut?

And Michael plays for me.

And if he wins this hand, then you tell me where Max is.

If I win, I get that ring in your pocket.

How did you know I had that in there?

Little birdie told me.

Said that's what it's all about for you.

What does that even mean?

We playing or you two chicken?

I am the villain after all.

I'm all in.

He will win.

Jack's have it.

I guess you win.

Funny thing, Mac.

He didn't mind to give.

He's getting away. Go, we'll get Kyle.

This is Kyle.

I wish I had a second to pour this out, but I don't. Okay.

Where is he? Where's Max?

He's safe.

But he'll die if you don't make the right choice.

Which is?

Surrender.

Don't look so surprised.

Aren't we always our own worst enemy, Elizabeth?

You created this.

Why? You're a smart girl.

Merlot and Morris said it.

Hey, how's it going?

Well, the drug has latched on to Liz's nerve receptors. Somehow it's managed to

trick her immune system into thinking that her own nerves are actually foreign

bodies, which would be an easy fix if I had a way to camouflage alien proteins

inside human biology. Unfortunately, NYU hasn't quite gotten there yet.

Thank you for not giving up.

Yeah.

So, um, how long has Dallas been missing?

No more than a day.

I'm sorry that I didn't.

tell you over the phone. I just thought that you should hear it in person.

You know, I almost didn't go back to med school.

I didn't want to leave Dallas, but I convinced myself that he would be okay

because he has his little threesome. Try it. He had Isabel and Michael to help

him understand who he is. He had Liz and Kyle in case he got sick again. I mean,

what could possibly go wrong, right?

I'm sorry that I distracted you.

I was getting a little antsy.

Thought maybe you needed some caffeine.

But I can see you guys are busy.

So... I'm gonna go.

Hey.

Look, Bikini Kill.

Liz, she's got her boyfriend.

You've got your boyfriend.

I'm gonna go get my boyfriend.

Keith is not my boyfriend. Okay, people hug when there's God.

You stepped outside to make a call, and 30 minutes later, Heath swooped in. So

either Dr. Feelgood came to town with you, or did you develop email powers?

Or Heath came yesterday, after you told me about Dallas.

Look, he's been helping me.

When I got to New York, Parsons was great, right? It was everything that I

needed, but it didn't take me that long to figure out that art is only one part

of me, and there's a whole huge other part that unless I explore it, I'm never

going to be who I actually am. So you called Heath.

To help you be a better alien. He's the only one who knows alien DNA.

What about your sister?

And your brother? There's no way that I'm going to have them knowing that I

lost. You know how sick I am of feeling like I'm the needy sister.

I get that.

I just really made a huge mistake by cutting myself off. I think that if I

stayed connected to the things in our report, I could have seen this coming.

was with Liz every single day, and even he didn't see it coming.

but I'm guessing that you do too.

It was bad enough when Alex went missing, but now that I know he's

alien -engineered sinkhole, yeah, sitting here doing nothing sucks.

Max jumped into a minescape after the woman he loves. The least I can do is

into a sinkhole to save my soulmate. Do you remember what happened the last time

that you abandoned all logic?

You threw me in a car and then blew me up?

Don't make the same mistake twice.

Listen, I know that you want to help, but cannonballing into a sinkhole after

Alex isn't going to help anybody.

Right now, Heath is in there really struggling to figure out how to

alien protein, and Kyle said that you're the only one who can help.

Fine, but I don't know if... Has he tried Max's blood yet?

Liz said Bonnie's virus mutates alien DNA, so if it's still in him, maybe we

could re -engineer it to bolster the steroids.

Okay, why are we still standing here? Go!

Hi. My sister said I used to come here for help, and I could really use some

right now.

Are you the old sheriff?

I was your old teacher, but I guess the mentor part's what counts.

Allie Myers.

You know this isn't real, right?

Uh -huh.

So, you're here to talk circular mRNA?

Or... Why you're stuck in Once Upon a Time in Roswell.

I want to know why there are two of me.

You really need to conjure me to tell you that in most big choices in life

of two minds?

The question is, what are you weighing out?

Well, before I ended up here, I was thinking about the drug.

And how on one hand it's dangerous, but on the other hand it could accomplish so

much. But I had already made the decision not to take it.

I think your other half is pissed.

So she took Shivani's words literally and trapped me in a dried -up dairy

Only now I'm the Tin Star Cowboy? She did what you do in the lab.

Created a scenario for you to suss out an answer, trading Petri dishes for six

shooters. An answer to what question?

I mean, all I know is that it has to do with Max dying and apparently Abuela's

ring?

She's definitely relishing being in the saddle.

You?

You've got to keep playing the game. Oh, God, I'm tired of the game, Allie. How

do I wake up?

Simple. Follow the path. Figure out what it is that you don't want to confront.

She's just one part of me, right?

Like a split personality, so I don't need her to survive.

There are no shortcuts, Liz.

Whatever dark truth she's carrying, you're going to have to face eventually.

I disagree.

Come on, ride with me.

Sorry, kid.

You don't want to listen. You're on your own.

Oh, thank God.

We're going to take a walk.

No, Alyssa, you have to wake up. That drug you took, it's poison. It's killing

you. Stopping the drug would be counterproductive.

It isn't killing me. I think it's stronger.

You took it on purpose.

As much as I'd like to take credit, Shivani dosed me.

But it was serendipity.

Like a girl.

Crossing paths with a sheriff and his magic hands on the night that she was

shot.

Accidents are the spark of evolution.

The other Liz disagrees.

The other Liz?

She's been in charge for far too long.

I've been searching for a way to show her that she's lost and then you showed

up. Perfect pawn.

Can I get some water?

Looks like your sheriff finally wised up and asked for a meeting.

You better hope she's ready to surrender.

So you're raising the white flag.

Actually, I'm ready to wake up. And you think that's your choice. I know it's

not. I need you to want to wake up too, which is why I'm extending an olive

branch.

Let's parlay.

Cute, but no. Well, then I'm afraid this town ain't big enough for the both of

us.

Now that I have your attention, I did some thinking.

All you are is a manifestation of a dark, fleeting impulse I had in a moment

weakness. You were born out of a schism in my mind that has been allowed to grow

too deep.

So if I take you out, rid myself of that dangerous urge.

There is nothing anchoring me or Max to this place.

Pull the trigger.

But know that if you do, Max's death will be on you. Max won't die.

When I wake up, so will he. And then what happens next?

Without me, you'll be too scared to protect him.

Scared of what, exactly?

The other shoe to drop.

Right now, you're just refusing to face it.

I'll figure it out.

I met a boy, man.

For how strong we'll be on the other side.

See you at high noon.

I'm fine, Liz.

And wake up, okay?

Because I'm the one that let you go in there without a way to defend yourself.

Hey, how you doing?

Good, yeah, good.

Heath and Michael are now in the lab furiously mixing up an elixir that, I

quote, will shield Liz's neural receptors, buying her some time so she

this thing's ass.

Liz and Max are in good hands.

I knew it was a bad idea to let him in to Liz's mind, and now he's trapped

there, and we don't even have Kyle to help us, and that's also my fault.

How's Kyle your fault?

Oh.

You slept with him?

Yeah.

And it was kind of spectacular.

Until I, uh, cold -shouldered him and ran away. You just got out of a

relationship. I'm sure he understands.

Yeah, I know he does.

Which is why he told me he would wait for me.

And then I told him not to bother because, um, I destroy everything I

Like Anata.

And Max.

Hey, come on. Where's all this coming from?

I saw Teska's memories, Maria.

She wasn't just my teacher. She was my hero.

And when Jones came for her, I did nothing.

I hid like a coward. You were seven years old. I could have at least done

something. If you had confronted Jones back then, he would have taken you, too.

And we wouldn't be at war with just Teska.

It'd be you as well.

She saved me.

And it destroyed her.

Hey, you can save her right back.

This isn't about Kyle or Natsa. This is about this moment right now.

Stop trying to convince yourself that you're less than what you are, Isabel.

You're a warrior.

You have a dojo to prove it.

So you're what, Liz's id?

And the sheriff is her moral conscience?

I wonder if she would never surrender to you. She's prepared to let you die.

She's stupider than I thought.

Well, you've got it backwards, and you're the stupid one.

There's a reason she's the sheriff, and you're just the villain.

Yeah, there is.

You.

You know, she repressed you because you're everything she hates.

You're selfish, impatient, callous. And stronger.

She's given up on what we want.

So that's why you're going to use the drug she made for Michael.

To create this elaborate playground and teach her a lesson?

Do you think we are happy hosting Alien Hatch Day Party?

Without you, we'd have notoriety. We'd have power. We'd have our Nobel Prize.

Without you, the world would have Liz Ortega.

You act like you despise me, but deep down, you still love me.

Otherwise, there'd be no need for this charade.

Let her wake up.

You know I'd never hold her back.

You gave up your powers. You can't even protect yourself.

That's not true.

No. You have to, Eric.

Yes, he may think you are the key to our greatness, but you know, deep down, you

are our biggest obstacle to it.

Congratulations, Max. You have locked us into a life of mediocrity.

She'll never let you be sheriff.

We'll see about that.

I think my subconscious took this hole too literal.

You're my rock.

My trusty steed.

Always getting me where I need to go, but... Right now, I really wish you were

the real Kyle.

All right, I know. I know.

I know.

My fever's rising.

It's gotta be as a result of whatever's happening on the outside.

Hey, Sheriff.

I was up on the dairy, and I came upon this strange trail of black gold leading

down to the desert.

Oil?

Max, did you follow it? Yeah, yeah. Dead ends at the old ghost town, out on

Route 80.

So I'm thinking maybe your evil magical twin might be holding up out there.

He travels fast, even in B -movie Roswell, okay?

You and Max always looked out for me.

Rosa, too, so... I may not be an apple -powder.

But whatever you need, I got you.

That's what I've been missing.

Thank you all for showing up.

I made the mistake of thinking I could face her alone.

I was wrong.

This ring represents family. And every time I don't lean on family, things end

in disaster.

And that's because you guys are the best part of me.

Fire.

Grit. Heart.

Brain. Conscience.

Together we're more powerful than she ever will be.

I believe that more than anything.

Let's go save Max and Rosa.

Vamos.

Bobby, take Maria. Cool her. It's pretty much at that work, mija.

Howdy, folk.

Clyde.

Well,

y 'all are just a bunch of coffee boilers.

I did it! That bastard's menace maker!

Heath?

Heath! Heath!

Michael killed you. Yeah.

And then I killed him back.

Like I told you a poker I'm the villain and you know more than anyone come on

one of us balls There's always another it's a good place

Please.

Please.

You finished splicing the alien virus to the steroids yet? Yeah, but I'd like to

test it first. No, there's no time to it now.

All right, hang tight, Liz.

I'm sending him back up.

I thought you weren't interested.

I wasn't. Until you considered giving up. She just killed everyone I love. The

path was never going to be easy.

God, come on, Allie. I thought this was about trusting my family. All right,

well, then dig deeper. Think, Liz. It's the only way.

What does this all mean? Run through the clues.

The first one was the message burning in the ground at my house.

Implying that Max could die in real life. Keep going.

The ring? Oh.

Um, marriage. Um, family.

Max.

I don't know. I don't know. Then think harder. What else?

Clyde said the villains are never going to stop, and she keeps asking about the

other shoe.

Tell me terrible.

He's always finding us.

So then, how do we just drive off into the sunset?

I know what it is.

I know what I'm scared of.

All right, then. It's time to face her.

I'm all out of boats.

You just need one.

No. Hey, don't even worry about him. You're always my favorite student.

Go finish that. Okay.

Hey, you like riddles? What do you get when you mix a stockpile of acetone with

a little heat?

Firework.

Liz?

Max.

Your nose is bleeding.

That drug that you created. It's killing me, I know.

Listen to me.

Everything she said is a lie and I'm going to get it out of here.

She has a weakness.

She doesn't want to admit it, but she believes in us.

Just like I do.

Your mind's her voice.

You're mine.

Made it to the finish line.

What are you going to do now, Sheriff?

You won't let him die.

You love him too much.

That's not up to me.

That's up to you and what you do next.

Have you figured out why we're here yet?

The Scorch message, Terminator Clyde, the ring?

You want me to admit why I couldn't say yes.

And can you now?

What's the other shoe, Elizabeth?

Me.

I'm afraid of myself.

You wanted me to lead my friends into battle, not to show me that I need to

on them, but to kill them off one by one.

You knew it would bring back the same agony I felt when I lost Rosa and then

Max. And why would I want that?

It's my fear of failure.

I'm afraid next time I won't be able to save them.

Now we're getting somewhere.

I said no to Max because I am terrified of building a perfect life with him,

only to have it torn away from me forever.

And like Clyde, the danger will never stop.

Especially now that Max is neutered.

The only way to save them is to give in to the drug.

Surrender to me.

We both win.

No, bitch Cassidy.

Because your logic is flawed.

Embracing that drug won't make us stronger. It'll make us weak.

How do you figure?

Because there's no guarantee we would have those same powers when we wake up.

fact, it is statistically improbable.

But we'd be smarter.

You saw Shivani.

She's like Einstein and Allie Meyer. The brain damage we would have, the memory

loss, the nerve degeneration. We could lose ourselves entirely.

But allowing the drug to open our mind would make fixing that child's play.

Don't you want to live without fear, Liz?

Of course I do. And the next time that something comes for Max, Rosa, Papi, any

of them, don't you want to destroy it? Yes!

Then stop gambling with their lives.

Embrace the power.

And you will never fear death again. Don't, Liz. It's too risky. Nothing is

risky when it comes to the people we love.

Look at you.

We're dying, Liz.

It's time to make a decision.

What are you going to do with the one bullet we have left?

Don't give up, Liz.

Liz? Where's Liz?

Why isn't she waking up?

Come here.

Come here.

Yeah.

So you're telling me that you don't remember anything?

I mean, isn't that a little odd for one of the Mindscape adventures?

Part fever dream, so the rules must work differently.

Suppose your massive hit of alien mist could be to blame.

Either way, glad your body was able to fight it off.

Any idea how?

Not a good enough doc yet to get specific, but it looks like your body

stopped fighting itself.

Or it might have had something to do with your brilliant steroid alien virus

concoction thingy. No, Michael and I just bought you some time.

Med school looks good on you.

Yeah.

Not sure I can stay, though.

Dallas Smithing is just... He's my brother.

We're gonna find him.

I promise.

I got all you want, so... Yeah.

I wanted to tell Unclear how you even knew I was in trouble.

Because I told him.

Um, we've become friends in New York.

Okay. Tell me everything.

Is this like dinner and dancing or VIP membership to the moment?

He's helping me figure out the source of my powers so that I can control them

better.

You can cancel sound now?

Well, more like bend the sound waves so that you can't hear them.

I'm not really sure what it's good for, but... I wanted to tell you I'm sorry I

didn't call more.

But it's not just on you.

Well, to make up for it, I'm going to stay the week.

Unlike medicine, art school does work over Zoom.

You don't think?

How'd you manage to keep it together?

You were the only one who didn't completely unravel today.

I just decided it wasn't my turn.

Dallas reminded me that strength comes from your family.

He's been a big part of mine lately.

I had to make sure that we survived today so we could all return the favor.

And we did.

Thanks in part to you.

I think it's time I figure out how to get the three of them out of that

sinkhole.

Any ideas where to start?

I got a few theories.

Me too.

I'm going to spend some time honing my new abilities.

We're going to find them.

I know.

I was worried about you, you know.

When you got catfrogged by a cowboy.

I would have helped you, but I got shot.

Yeah. You stayed by my side.

You felt that?

Thank you.

I wish I could be the one to take credit for getting you out of Dodge, but how

did you manage to escape?

Oh, bad Liz drew my Liz into a duel.

I didn't see what happened after that, but I heard a gunshot, and then I woke

up, so I guess the right Liz won, or I wouldn't be here.

Just wish I could remember what happened in there.

Well, I'm sure that Max would be happy to tell you all about it.

I myself have a date with an alien in a cage. Excuse me. Oh, you learned

something from Tesca?

Yeah, I did. I learned that she's so much more than Ophiuchus. She's fearless

and kind before Jones got to her.

You know, I started a school to help women, so I figured this is my shot.

Good night.

Oh, yeah, it just reminded me.

I should check in on Shivani.

Oh, Michael just heard something innovative.

I guess she had an easier time of it than you did.

She started back at work.

So, you know what that means.

I don't have to worry about it.

Yeah. What you do need is to relax by a warm fire with a glass of my love

and the cowboy of your dreams that you don't remember.

All right. Count the wine, cowboy.

Don't give up, Leather.

I don't wanna gamble anymore.

You made the right choice.
