Both Isabel and Max are at home, staring at their small television. Obviously bored, Isabel is using the remote control to channel surf. Unfortunately, there is nothing interesting on. As she switches to every channel, they find nothing interesting to watch. Isabel gets up and decides to take a "stroll." When Max tells her that she's been overdoing that lately, she tells him that it's perfectly harmless. Of course, we know now that they are talking about Isabel's hobby of dreamwalking. Max tells her that dreamwalking is not a nice thing to do and then tells her to stay away from Liz's dream. Then, he goes back to channel surf on his own, where he finds nothing but "crap." Isabel is lying on her bed and flipping through the pages of the school yearbook. Then, she happens to come upon Liz's picture. She touches the picture and begins to dreamwalk Liz, against Max's wish. In the dream, Isabel is sitting at a table in the middle of the Crasdown Café while Liz is wiping the booth. Suddenly, a buff guy walks into the café, and greets her. She puts her arm around the guy and says, "Hello, Brad," and they seem to be well acquainted with each other. Brad picks her up and puts her on the table that she was wiping. Then, they share a long passionate kiss. Suddenly, Max is sitting on one of the stools to their right. Liz says that she is with Brad now, but Max tells her that Brad doesn't even exist. Then, with a little movement of his finger, he makes rose petals fall to the ground... how romantic, eh? Anyhow, the dream suddenly changes to Max and Liz kissing passionately, and Brad has disappeared. Isabel, thinking that Liz's incredibly romantic dream is also incredibly dull, goes away from the dream. She flips through the pages of the yearbook and finds Kyle's picture. Convinced that Kyle's dream would be much more interesting than that of Liz, she goes in. She finds her environment in the Himalayas, where the sun has just set (or is it just rising?). Kyle and Buddha are meditating together and Buddha tells Kyle "to thine ownself be true," oddly a Shakespearian quote instead of a Buddhist proverb. Buddha is then instructing Kyle for every inhale, find the center of himself. For every exhale, release the ties that binds his energy. After they do a few meditation breaths, something suddenly beeps. Buddha stops his instructions and answers a futuristic communicator, where the beep had been coming from. Buddha finds out that there has been some disturbance and tells Kyle that they must leave to fight the dark legion. Kyle refuses to do so because he is only here for inner peace, not to deal with the "science-fiction crap." Buddha tells him that ever since Max had healed him, he has become part alien and he must accept his destiny. Kyle, frustrated, points at Buddha and shouts that that's not true, but finds that the skin on his hand is very not-of-this-earth. As he screams in finding that he really is and alien, Isabel is suddenly redirected into another place. She is unable to find out whose dream it is. She suddenly hears a scream off in the foggy, yellow place that she finds herself in and sees a man dragging a black vinyl bag with someone in it. There is a young girl struggling to free herself. Then, Isabel is able to wake up from her dreamwalk, startled from what she had just seen.

  Sheriff Valenti is working when he hears a man talking loudly, trying to find a "broken-down old warhorse who somehow managed to make sheriff in Roswell." Valenti orders Deputy Hanson to send the man into his office. The man, Dan Lubertkin, looks around the sheriff's office and then at the sheriff. He comments on Valenti's age, while Valenti comments on the fact that Dan should do some real police work himself. You can tell by their formality in their jokes/insults that although they are acting as friends, they have a certain rivalry between them. Valenti beckons Dan to sit and inquires what Dan is in Roswell for. Dan tells him that the state police board wished to go over the Hubble shooting. Valenti, alarmed, tells Dan what he has told everyone, the shoot was clean. Dan shrugs it off as if the case would blow over. Meanwhile, Kyle and Tess are in the Crashdown together eating. Tess is preparing her strawberry-cream-pancakes by pouring Tabasco sauce on top of it all, with the stopper off. Kyle, seeing her do this, asks if the Tabasco quirk is an alien thing. When Tess nods, he requests to try a bit. Tess, knowing that humans hate it, warns him, and he says that he hopes that he will hate it. He takes a bite and almost panickingly says that it doesn't taste that bad at all and starts lamenting to Tess that he's not ready for the change of being a "half-alien freakazoid." He blames Max for saving him, and Tess tells him that on the flip side of the coin, Max could have let him die. Undaunted, Kyle talks his Buddha-talk about being reincarnated into the next plane of existence. Tess wonders what it would have been like if he had been reincarnated into a gopher. When he finds the subject going off topic, he immediately goes back on topic and asks for her help. Tess, though, doesn't know how to help him, and thinks that life for him will still be normal, or he'll start acting like a superhero and fly, a joke of course, but it leaves Kyle to think about it. When he asks for another bite, she refuses to give him anymore, annoyed by his paranoia.

  Isabel, alarmed by what she saw in her dreamwalk, goes to Valenti's office with Max to talk to the sheriff. This is the first time that Valenti realizes Isabel's principle trait as an alien. He realizes that the situation is virtually impossible, to search for a girl without a name or a face. Then, Dan barges in and asks if the sheriff would like to eat in Señor Chow's for lunch, seeing Max and Isabel talking to the sheriff. The sheriff explains to Max and Isabel that Dan is here for the Hubble shoot and tells them that everything is all right because Dan is an old friend of his. He promises to look into the kidnapping situation and try to help as best as he can. At Señor Chow's, where Valenti and Dan had planned to eat, Valenti is explaining to Dan about what happened the night of the shooting. Lubertkin comments about the fact that what Valenti had just told him was what it said in the reports, as if he was testing if Valenti would be lying. Dan suddenly changes the topic and asks Valenti who were the teens in Valenti's office. Seeing no way out, Valenti is forced to tell Dan their real names: Max and Isabel Evans. The name Max Evans arouses Dan to ask Valenti about the statement that claimed that Max was the last person that Hubble was seen with. When Dan asks whether Max had really been there that night during the shooting, Valenti tells Dan that Max wasn't there that night, perhaps a little too hastily.

  At the Crashdown, Liz is serving some customers their food when she unintentionally says Max's name in the stead of mayo. She then confesses to Maria that she is obsessed and sick. Maria offers her help to her fellow "Maxaholic" when suddenly Liz looks past Maria. Maria turns around to see her cousin Sean come in, apparently just out of Juvenile Hall. She finds out that he is staying at her house and he gives a flirty remark to Liz, who is anything but undaunted by it. Back at the Evans' home, Max comes into the room to find Grant flipping through the same small television that he and Isabel were surfing through before Isabel went dreamwalking. Grant tells Max that he is waiting for and Max goes to check on Isabel. He enters to find her frantically going through her closet to find the perfect thing to wear. She tells him that she can't stop thinking about the kidnapped girl, like as if the girl had dreamwalked her instead of vice versa, but Isabel doesn't think that the girl is an alien. When Max suggests that Isabel cancels her date with Grant, she tells him that she's cancelled too many dates with him already and this time she doesn't have a legitimate excuse this time. She then tells Max that she'll be ready in five minutes. Kyle, at his house, is sitting in front of the television when Tess comes in quietly and out of sight. To her curiosity, she finds Kyle extending his arm toward the blank television. Catching on to his drift, Tess maliciously grabs the remote control and turns on the television. Kyle startled, thinks that he has used his "superpowers" to turn the television on. He calls different channels and Tess, still having fun, switches to these channels. And then, he shouts out "unscrambled porn." Tess, baffled, switches to a random channel to find a woman running through the beach in a bikini. Kyle, thinking that he has mastered his "superpowers" stands up in amazement and sees Tess, realizing all that happened was just Tess playing around with his hunch. Back to Isabel, she is at the movies with Grant. At first, she finds the movie absurdly funny. She twists her neck around, sore. When Grant asks if she is sore, she admits that she is and starts massaging her neck. She slowly puts her head on his shoulder and falls asleep. Isabel starts getting her prophetic dreams again, but this time she is closer to the girl and the person dragging her. She sees the woman walking to her car when she sees a man coming from behind and assaults her. She sees needles and a body bag and the woman being dragged somewhere again. Suddenly, Isabel bolts awake, screaming. The people around Isabel and Grant look at her as Grant worries about what just happened. She tries to convince him that she's fine, but it's obvious that she's not. After the movies, both Isabel and Max goes to Valenti's house. Isabel tries to dictate her worries for this girl from the last dream and is sure that there is a missing girl. This time, Isabel was able to see the car, which was a silver Honda or Toyota, but isn't sure what car it was because she isn't good at naming cars. Valenti stresses that it's impossible to find a missing girl without any leads, but he could see if there would be any missing vehicle reports for the car. Max tells the sheriff that it must sound a little absurd to look for this girl, but Valenti tells Max that he believes Isabel, but a search for this girl with only this kind of evidence was near impossible.

  Valenti comes into the Crashdown at night and places the order of a large coffee and Work Wrap, obviously working late, most likely looking for the missing girl. He finds an old acquaintance there, Judith Foster. They converse for a while when Valenti asks about her daughter, Melissa. Judith then tells him that she's fine, but with uncertainty and tells him that her daughter went to Santa Fe to visit some friends but she hadn't called home for some time. When Valenti asks if Melissa drives a silver car, Judith tells him that she drives a silver Honda. The sheriff then begins a search for Melissa Foster, convinced that she is the girl in Isabel's dreams. At the sheriff's station, Judith answers Deputy Hanson's questions while Dan Lubertkin sees Valenti going around the station busily. He tells his deputies to cover 285 South and then asks for Melissa's picture from Mrs. Foster. Sheriff is just about to enter his office when Dan asks who he has in his office. Valenti gives Dan a killer glare and Dan walks away without protest. Valenti enters the office, with the Evans waiting in there. He hands Isabel the picture, asking if the picture of Melissa resembles the girl in Isabel's dreams. Isabel tells Valenti that she is pretty sure that Melissa is the girl from the similar tint of their hair, but can't be too sure because her dreams were a bit vague. Valenti tells them that he has known the Fosters for years and Melissa goes to Goddard High. Isabel tells Valenti that she must find the girl, and Valenti tells her that he needs to find her as well. Meanwhile, Sean is waiting for his order at the Crashdown. Maria comes up with his order and demands that he pays beforehand for the fear that he would dash away without paying. He gives her the money in change and refuses to give her a tip. Maria sits in the seat across from him, trying to discuss some "rules" at her house. She begins by telling him that the toilet seat is left down, the underwear is not left on the floor, and milk is not directly consumed from the carton. When she goes on to rule four, he interrupts her, wondering if there are a lot of rules involved. Maria remarks that she will write them down, assuming that he is literate. Then, she emphasizes her fourth rule: to leave Liz alone. Sean asks Maria if Liz is part of the house, but Maria tells him that she is serious, but Sean just looks at her nonchalantly; he couldn't care less. Maria tells him that she saw how he had looked at Liz and said, "All grown up, I like it." She goes on to try to explain to him that Liz is in a delicate position, but Liz suddenly and untimely shouts to one of the workers, "Dammit, Eddie! Where's my order?" Sean looks at Maria, wondering how delicate her situation is, but Maria tells him that she is dead serious. He tells her that he gets it and asks what she wants from him. Maria ends their conversation by telling him that she will give him the list of rules by the end of the day. Liz walks by staring at Sean. When he looks at her, she looks away, but still gives him little fleeting glances. Meanwhile, Isabel takes a little nap, perhaps intent on locating the girl with clearer visions of the girl's situations. This time, the dream is a little more clear. She sees someone kicking in the body bag and the kidnapper is dragging the body bag. The kidnapper turns around to reveal... Grant. She wakes up in Max's arms, who came into her room when he heard her cry and Isabel tells him that it was Grant who kidnapped the girl. They go to Valenti's office, and Isabel tells Valenti that she is positive that it was Grant. Max offers their help, but Valenti tells them that he has to go himself. Valenti finds Judge Lewis in a golf course when he tries to convince the judge to grant him an arrest warrant. The judge refuses to give it to him when he tells the sheriff that Grant had filed a complaint about searching his room without a warrant. Valenti is forced to leave the judge empty-handed. Motivated to find this missing girl, he goes to the site where Sorenson is currently working and Sorenson is immediately insulted to find Valenti investigating him yet again for another missing person. Valenti asks where Grant was on Friday night, when Melissa was kidnapped and Grant tells him that he drove to Carlsbad, the opposite direction from Santa Fe. When Valenti asks how he knows that Melissa was going to Santa Fe, Grant simply tells him that it was common knowledge, the whole town is talking about the missing girl. Sorenson asks if the sheriff has a warrant, but Valenti continues to interrogate him. Valenti asks what he was doing in Carlsbad and Grant tells him that he was transporting equipment. Valenti comments to Sorenson that they've had reports of him out at this site in the middle of the night and then he looks in Grant's tent and sees a vinyl bag, much like the one that Isabel had in her dream. Grant steps between Valenti and the vinyl bag, telling him that he won't let the sheriff open the bag. The sheriff forces Grant to back off and he opens the bag. The only thing in the bag is Sorenson's weird geological equipment. Grant rushes to cover it up, telling the sheriff that the equipment is photosensitive, and connects all his answers with the sheriff by telling him that the equipment works in the dark like the caverns in Carlsbad and is why he is working at the middle of the night. He sees that Valenti hasn't presented him an arrest warrant and presumedly goes to find a lawyer. Valenti returns to his office after his unsuccessful experience to find Dan sitting on his desk. Dan asks if Valenti has a search warrant for Sorenson, and Valenti sees that Dan knows more than he bargained for. Dan tells him other things he knows about Valenti: he hangs out a lot with teenage kids and he sometimes disappears for days on end. Dan goes on to explain that the state police board has had Valenti on their radar for a long time because of his reputation for chasing UFOs the like. Now Valenti's men are questioning Valenti's behavior. Valenti tells him that he doesn't owe them an explanation and Dan tells him that Valenti owes him an explanation. And the sheriff tells him that he is on a time-critical investigation that had a girl's life on the line. Just then, a girl comes in and tells them that she is Melissa Foster and heard that Valenti was looking for her.

  Valenti, Max, and Isabel are having a clandestine meeting outside of the stationhouse. Valenti tells Isabel that Melissa had only been missing because her car had stopped halfway to Santa Fe, but she was never kidnapped. Isabel is still visibly upset and apologizes to the sheriff for being so wrong. The sheriff tells her that she shouldn't be sorry because she has gifts that nobody else has and if anything else happens again, she should never hesitate to ask for help again. Valenti assures the Evans that everything is fine. But, the scene shifts to both Judge Lewis and Lubertkin both yelling at Valenti for his actions. Dan tells Valenti that Sorenson has filed a fifteen million dollar civil suit against the city. Valenti argues that Grant would only get laughed out of court, but Judge Lewis tells him that he is half-tempted to throw Valenti into his own jail on a contempt citation. Valenti goes on to tell them that he had a hunch that he had to follow and Judge Lewis asks about the two witnesses that Valenti had talked about. Valenti tells them that there are two witnesses but they were to remain anonymous. Dan believes that Valenti is talking about Max and Isabel, and tells the judge, but Valenti argues that none of this has anything to do with them, refusing to reveal the names of his witnesses. The judge tells the sheriff to find himself a lawyer. Meanwhile, Max is giving his concerns to Isabel. He is baffled about her visions and telling her that she has never been wrong, but because she had been wrong, Valenti was in danger of losing his job. Isabel argues that she already knew that, but she couldn't just let the missing girl die. Max argues that there is no missing girl and that Isabel was wrong. Isabel, at the brink of tears, tells Max that she knows that, but maybe deep inside she needed a girl to be missing because she wished that she didn't have to use her powers to cause so much destruction. She just wanted to use the gift she has to do good for once. Max then gently tells her that despite their normal sibling rivalries, he still believes in her and suggests that she gets some rest. At the Crashdown, Kyle is telling Liz that Tess is mocking him about the "change" and that he woke up that morning with an antennae coming out of his head. Then, Sean comes into the Crashdown and asks for some fries. Michael curtly tells Sean the restaurant is closed. Kyle goes on to tell Liz his story, but Liz isn't listening. Suddenly, she goes up to Sean and tells him that the fryer is still warm and she can whip some fries up for him if he wanted, but Sean declines and leaves. Maria, apalled by Liz's kind behavior to Sean wonders if there was some chemistry but Liz assures Maria that there isn't. Kyle wonders if Maria has any other cousins for him.

  Isabel is having her rest, as Max had suggested. But, she finds herself in another prophetic dream. The dream is clearer to her now, and she spots an abandoned pump house off in the distance. Isabel screams for Max, but she's still asleep. Max comes in and tries to wake her up, but Isabel is deep inside the dream and cannot wake up. Isabel sees through the kidnapper's point of view and sees that the missing girl is, in fact, not Melissa Foster. Isabel goes in deeper and deeper into her dream so much that she begins to yell what the girl is yelling and is resisting Max's appeals to wake her up. The girl screams for the last time and Isabel suddenly wakes up and gasps for breath while Max hugs her, relieved that she has woken up. At Valenti's office, Dan gives the sheriff papers about the grievance that Judith Foster had filed for a formal investigation into Sheriff Valenti's actions. Valenti tells Dan to talk to his lawyer when Dan demands for answers. The phone rings and Valenti picks up the phone. It's Max. He tells Valenti that the case of the missing girl is not over. He tells him that the missing girl is not Melissa Foster but another girl outside in Frazier woods near the abandoned pump house. Valenti, addressing Max as one of his deputies to not get Dan's suspicions up higher than it already is, asks where Max is right now. Max tells him that they are in their house and will meet him on Clark street near the Crashdown. Valenti tells him that he will go alone, but Max refuses to have Valenti investigating by himself. Valenti relents and tells him that he'll meet him there. Dan, unconvinced that it was a deputy that had called him, asks if Valenti's deputies always calls him through his private line. Valenti dodges the question and tells him that he will see him in the morning. Dan warns Valenti that his father went down the same way, ignoring his friends and chasing after the unknown. Valenti asks if Dan just threatened him. Dan tells him to consider it as a warning. Valenti and Evans arrive in the woods near the abandoned pump house, but they don't know where to go. As they look around, Valenti finds an oddly straight line of a mole hill. At the tip of the mole hill, he fumbles around the dirt and finds a clear tube and the three of them follow it, leading them to oxygen tanks. Realizing that there must be someone at the other end of the tube, they go in the other direction and finds a girl underground, with a plastic box over her head and tied up by the hand. The three of them start to uncover her and the dirt around the clear box in order for the girl to get enough oxygen, who was gasping for more air as it was. Then, someone shoots at them and Max jumps up to put up his shield. Valenti is beside him with his gun up, attempting to see the shooter. The man shoots more bullets but the bullets cannot penetrate Max's shield. Max tells Isabel that he can't keep it going and that she must hurry up. She assures him that she almost had the box off. Then, she is able to lift off the box and tells them that she got it. Valenti tells Max that he sees the shooter and he can stop using his powers. As soon as the shield disappears, Valenti shoots at the man and he gets shot, but he runs away. Suddenly, Dan comes into the scene telling all of them to freeze when he hears Valenti's gun shots. Valenti assures Dan that it's only him. Dan asks who Valenti was shooting at and Valenti tells him that he was shooting at the man who kidnapped the missing girl. That's when Dan sees the girl. The ambulance comes and the girl, Laurie, tells Valenti that she was in Roswell to see her grandparents when the man kidnapped her, but she never saw his face. Valenti assures her that she will be safe in the hospital; he will put men on the watch for her. When she asks Valenti how he knew to find her, Valenti gives a quick glance at Isabel and tells her that someone heard her cry for help. The emergency people wheel her away while Isabel follows. Dan comes up to Valenti and Max watches their conversation. Dan asks how Valenti knew to find her and Valenti tells him that it was simply good police work. Dan tells him that Valenti can tell him more than that and proceeds to ask what the Evans kids were doing at the scene. Valenti only tells him that they were just along for the ride and Dan tells him that that reason alone could get him suspended. Valenti tells him that he'll take the suspension as long as Dan leaves the Evans alone. Deputy Hanson runs up to Valenti and gives Valenti the shooter's bullets that are in perfect shape, since they never hit anything solid. Dan takes the bullets and eyes Valenti. Valenti tells him that he's as baffled as Dan is, but Dan tells him that he doesn't lie very well. Dan vows that he will find out the truth one day. As Dan walks away from Valenti, Max gives Valenti a concerned look. Just in front of the ambulance door, Isabel is watching Laurie. Laurie asks who Isabel is and she gives her name. Laurie thanks Isabel for saving her life and Isabel holds her hand. Isabel gets a vision of strange blue cells and fibers. The people wheel her into the ambulance and Max asks if she wants to go home. Isabel tells Max that she feels like she knows Laurie and they both watch as the ambulance drives away.
