S1 E6 Smells Like Teen Spirit


Mostly a flashback show, back to when Rosa and her two friends were
killed -- by Isobel!

Max is telling Liz about what happened in 2004.

Max, Michael, and Isobel are kids camping out in the desert. A stranger
attacks Isobel not far away. Max, who hasn’t discovered his powers yet,
screams as he places his hand on the man’s chest, his hand glows red and the
stranger dies.

Michael digs a grave simply by using the power of his mind. Isobel is
permanently scarred from the attack and murder of the stranger.

In the present, Max explains this to Liz, trying to get her to understand
Isobel. She’s had blackouts since that night in 2004. Liz demands to know
about the night Rosa died.

Flashback to 2008.. After they graduate, Max’s plan is to travel around
while writing his first novel.

Rosa's two so-called friends demand she get them drugs for the prom. If not,
they’ll ruin her life...somehow.

Rosa meets Isobel on the roof of the café and they look at the stars. Both
had horrible days, but the night’s now getting better.
The next day Rosa walks up to talk to Isobel and she has no idea that they’re
friends or that she and Rosa had plans to watch a horror movie together.
Rosa is confused and hurt by Isobel’s actions.

They all go to the Prom.

Isobel leaves the prom and goes to the café, which is closed and empty
except for Rosa. She apologizes for acting weird and for not acknowledging
their friendship.

Liz and Max are stilling together and she admits she had a bad day and wants
her mom, but her mom’s probably off somewhere drinking. She cries as she
confesses she needs her mom to take care of her. Her head is on his
shoulder. They sit together but never kiss.

Michael runs up panicking that Isobel has vanished. They finally track down
Isobel the morning after the prom and she’s not sure what’s happened. She
has red paint on her hands, and they realize she was with Rosa when they see
a drawing on the side of a van in red paint. They accuse her of being on
drugs, and she admits she’s just upset because they’re leaving after
graduation and she’ll be stuck in Roswell without them when they leave.

Liz and Max are back in the desert drinking beer and talking about the
future. They slow dance but don't kiss. Liz says she's planning on an
extended road trip and doesn't want to start something that will just end.
Max says he wants to go with her.

After Max and Liz return that evening, he drops her off. Rosa catches him
and warns him to stay away from her sister.

Michael’s ears start ringing and he has a vision of Isobel alone in the
desert. Max has the same vision.

Michael finds two girls dead in the desert and calls out for Isobel. He
finds her in a cave holding her hand over Rosa’s mouth. Rosa drops to the
ground, dead. Isobel tells Michael she did it because Rosa couldn’t be
trusted.

Max is unable to heal Rosa, not quite strong enough to return her from the
dead. Michael wants to call the police, but Max knows there’s something
wrong with Isobel.

Michael uses his powers to make all three bodies move on their own into Rosa’s
car, with Rosa in the driver’s seat.

Isobel arrives right after the girls are in place, and now she has no idea
what happened. Michael takes the blame, saying he couldn’t control his
telekinesis and he accidentally killed them.

They crash the car, then Max causes it to catch on fire, burning the bodies
as well as the car.

In the present Liz is crying, and asks why Isobel killed Rosa. Max
admits they don’t know why. Liz can’t believe he allowed the town to think
Rosa was drinking, crashed her car, and killed Jasmine and Kate.

Liz yells at Max that he made her family a target of the town’s hatred
following the crash and deaths. Max apologizes, saying he didn’t have any
clue that would happen. He was scared and stupid. But Liz calls him
brilliant -- he covered up the murders for a decade.

Liz tells Max she never wants to see him again. He destroyed her sister to
save his own.

Michael tries to convince Isobel she didn’t do it, that when she killed Rosa
it was like she was a different person. Isobel wonders if killing is in
their DNA. Are they just a murderous species who landed on Earth to kill
people?

Because Isobel just had another blackout, she believes it’s happening again.

..................

And once again, Maria is absent. I guess she isn't even a secondary cast
member. Wonder if we will ever see her again.
