The official trailer for Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group’s revival of the Scream film franchise begins with a callback to the original film’s opening scene in which Drew Barrymore fell victim to the Ghostface killer. Dewey Riley rings up Sidney Prescott – played by returning Scream franchise stars David Arquette and Neve Campbell – and informs her the killings have begun again.

The official trailer for Netflix’s Colin in Black and White limited series opens with Colin Kaepernick declaring he’s always wanted to be a quarterback. “But what you start out as is not necessarily what you become,” says the activist and former NFL QB.
Kaepernick and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ava DuVernay met in 2017 and decided to team up on Colin in Black and White. “In high school, I faced a lot of different challenges from sports, to my family, and other parts of my personal life, which a lot of viewers may be able to relate to. But I also faced obstacles as a Black kid growing up in a white family in a white community,” stated Kaepernick. “After meeting Ava DuVernay in 2017, I knew she was the right person to collaborate with. I shared my idea to create a series based on my high school years and she said, ‘Ok, Let’s do it.’ And we started working together to bring these stories to life in the most impactful and compelling way possible.”
“It was vitally important to me that this wasn’t another autobiographical series about a famous person as a child. No disrespect to those shows, but it’s been done – and done well. I was interested in pushing a bit further into this storytelling trope,” stated DuVernay explaining their approach to the limited series. “It was about challenging the process to determine how we could expand the core of a young person’s path to power into a story that can appeal widely and personally to others. The goal was to take the kernel of the idea and make it mean something to viewers whether they’re watching in Detroit or Dubai, Shreveport or Senegal. This is how the idea of weaving cultural and historical context with the young person’s story came to my mind.”
The series stars Jaden Michael as a young Colin, Nick Offerman as Rick Kaepernick, and Mary-Louise Parker as Teresa Kaepernick. Colin Kaepernick appears as himself and narrates.
DuVernay, Kaepernick, and Michael Starrbury executive produced, with DuVernay, Sheldon Candis, Robert Townsend, Angel Kristi Williams, and Kenny Leon directing.
The six episode series will premiere on October 29, 2021.
The Plot, Courtesy of Neflix:
From co-creators Ava DuVernay and Colin Kaepernick comes Colin in Black and White, a bold new dramatic limited series that chronicles Kaepernick’s coming of age story, tackling the obstacles of race, class and culture as the Black adopted child of a white family.
Colin in Black and White stars Jaden Michael as Young Colin before reaching the highest levels of American football as an NFL quarterback and becoming a cultural icon and activist; Nick Offerman and Mary-Louise Parker as his well-meaning parents Rick and Teresa; and Colin Kaepernick himself, who appears as the present-day narrator of his own story, guiding viewers through a robust and colorfully presented array of historical and contemporary contextual moments. You don’t know Kaepernick until you know Colin.
The team tries to keep a diplomatic crisis from happening on CBS’s NCIS: Hawai’i season one episode five. Episode five was directed by Tim Andrew from a script by Ron McGee and will air on Monday, October 18, 2021 at 10pm ET/PT.
On October 11, 2021 CBS announced they’ve given NCIS: Hawai’i and FBI: International full first season orders.
Vanessa Lachey (Call Me Kat, Truth Be Told) leads the cast as Special Agent in Charge Jane Tennant, Alex Tarrant plays Kai Holman, Noah Mills stars as Jesse Boone, and Yasmine Al-Bustami plays Lucy Tara. The first season also stars Jason Antoon as Ernie Malik and Tori Anderson as Kate Whistler.
Episode five guest stars include Enver Gjokaj, Seana Kofoed, Madeline Zima, Sonny Saito, Toshiji Takeshima, and Saxon Sawai.
“Gaijin” Plot: When a Japanese sailor is killed on American soil and evidence links the case to the previous murder of the victim’s girlfriend back in Japan, NCIS must find the murderer before the wrong person is accused and the case triggers a diplomatic crisis. Also, Captain Milius makes a personal request to Tennant.
The world’s most successful television series continues on the seductive shores of the Aloha State with NCIS: Hawai’i, where the first female Special Agent in Charge of NCIS Pearl Harbor, Jane Tennant, has thrived and risen through the ranks by equal parts confidence and strategy in a system that has pushed back on her every step of the way. Together with her unwavering team of specialists, they balance duty to family and country while investigating high-stakes crimes involving military personnel, national security and the mysteries of the sun-drenched island paradise itself.
The CW’s Roswell, New Mexico season three episode 13 – the season finale – picks up seconds after the end of episode 12. Max (Nathan Dean), Isobel (Lily Cowles), and Michael (Michael Vlamis) use their powers to save Heath, Kyle, and Eduardo from plunging to their deaths, with Liz helping by pulling the men in.
Now that everyone’s back on solid ground, the squad assembles to go over Liz’s actions and what to do next. Liz (Jeanine Mason) explains they needed to inject either Max or Jones anyway, and now they have nine hours before Jones’ DNA detangles from Max’s. However, the bond will be re-established if they don’t kill Jones during the period of time when Jones and Max are fully separated. As soon as that happens, Liz needs to inject Jones with biomolecules that will keep the DNA from reconnecting.
Michael reveals Jones took the Lockhart machine because he wants to send a signal out. Alex and Eduardo are currently working on a way to send a signal to the machine, which will not only help locate Jones but also allow the broadcast of a frequency burst capable of forcing Max and Jones back into their old bodies.
Isobel’s not sure about their plan and opts to spend her time rebuilding her mother’s sword.
Isobel and Rosa (Amber Midthunder) head over to The Wild Pony and discover Maria (Heather Hemmens), crying. She doesn’t offer much of an explanation as to what’s wrong and instead asks about a bag they’ve brought. Isobel lays out the pieces of the sword and explains they need to put it back together to take on Jones again.
Rosa’s not sure the sword matters; it’s not what makes Isobel strong. Isobel’s adamant about piecing it together as it’s the only thing that’s ever stopped Jones in the past. Maria points out Isobel’s nosebleed and Isobel admits she hasn’t slept in days.
Marie sends Isobel off to take a nap by promising she and Rosa will work on the sword.
Over at Deep Sky an exhausted Liz confesses to Kyle (Michael Trevino) that’s she scared of losing Max. As they’re talking Liz’s computer beeps and she learns that once they inject Jones with the biomolecules, they’ll only have seconds to kill him without killing Max.
Meanwhile, Max begs Michael to kill him to stop Jones, fearful that when things do eventually turn bad he won’t be able to do it. He needs to die now to stop this, but Michael isn’t having it. He yells at Max to grow up and to stop surrendering.
“Maybe today is your last day, Max. Maybe it’s mine, too. But if that’s true we can’t walk away from the tough conversations with the people who love us,” says Michael.
Heath (Steven Krueger) watches over Dallas (Quentin Plair) as he rests following surgery. He describes Dallas’ condition to Liz as surprisingly good, given everything he’s just been through. Heath confesses that while he was hanging outside the building he thought about never having a chance to say he was sorry for everything.
Dallas wakes and jokes that listening to Heath and Liz is like watching a soap opera. He asks for music to get his blood flowing and Liz has an epiphany.
Kyle’s a little embarrassed to be caught by Heath and Liz dancing with an IV pole to Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” Fortunately, the embarrassment’s over quickly as he and Liz reveal they’ve separately come to the conclusion they need to administer the biomolecules in adrenaline. It only takes seven seconds to travel the entire body. The wall between Max and Jones will go up and Jones will be vulnerable.
Isobel’s definitely not resting when Rosa finds her shooting arrows at a no trespassing sign. Isobel’s an emotional wreck and believes her life is coming apart at the seams. Rosa tells her to think about her life and who she wants to be away from all this noise.
Eduardo locates Jones in a deserted building and fires a shot, shattering the piece of alien glass Jones was about to put into the Lockhart machine. Eduardo demands to know how Jones plans on leaving the planet, but Jones knows Eduardo won’t shoot him. Eduardo admits he’s there to destroy the machine.
Unfortunately for Max, Kyle needs to extract some alien adrenaline from him without being able to use any anesthetic. Kyle, on the other hand, is perfectly fine with inflicting a little pain on his least favorite alien.
The electronics flicker as Max gets worked up watching the needle approach his abdomen. Kyle’s not helping settle things down and Liz barges in, volunteering to take over. Max heaves a sigh of relief.
Max confesses he’s scared of hurting her; she deserves better. The electronics flicker again and Liz leans over to remind him of when they were kids and she let him listen to a song on her Walkman the day they met. He told her all those years ago it was the first time he felt connected to this world.
“I never told you but I feel so lucky I got to give you that,” says Liz.
Max confesses he sometimes hears that song in his head but doesn’t remember its name. All he can remember from that day are her eyes and how they made him feel calm.
The lights and monitor stop flickering as Liz and Max allow themselves to relax into each other. No matter what happens the remainder of the day, they both quiet each other’s noise. Liz reveals she used to think it was a choice between him or science but she’s learned it’s actually him and science.
Liz extracts the adrenaline and it’s obviously extremely painful, but Max doesn’t cry out or jerk away.
Isobel returns to The Wild Pony and confesses she got lost on her journey to becoming a badass warrior. She’s figured out she doesn’t need to do everything by herself and can let her friends in. “I don’t want to be a lone wolf. I want to be part of the pack,” says Isobel which earns a group hug from Rosa and Maria.
Maria explains they’ve figured out the sword broke because the sword was owned by Theo, Louise, and Nora, which is why it shattered in Isobel’s hand. It doesn’t represent Isobel or her power. Maria reminds them aliens get power from their triad and their generation line. Maria loves Isobel like a sister and wants to use their family’s bracelet (specifically the purple petals) to help power up the sword. She also reveals her mom’s condition has worsened and Maria hopes that they can take down Jones and use his body to figure out a way to keep her from ending up as sick as her mother.
Michael checks in on Alex’s progress preparing Kyle’s dad’s radio to send out a message to the Lockhart machine. Michael admits he’s freaked out and upset they never went on a real first date. Alex (Tyler Blackburn) cuts Michael off as he’s saying, “I need you to know if this goes bad tomorrow I…” Alex isn’t about to consider they won’t win this battle and refuses to let Michael declare his love right now.
Alex is shocked when Michael confesses he’s worried they will win. He doesn’t think Alex will love him if he has to kill his own father. He’s also worried he won’t love himself if he takes his father’s life. “That self-loathing is what caused this mess between us for 15 years. What’s winning going to do? Is it going to set us right back to square one?” says Michael, barely holding it together.
Alex assures him they have grown together and changed. They beat one monstrous dad – they can beat another. Alex kisses Michael and then receives a message from Liz that she’s finished the serum. They sneak in one more passionate though short kiss before Michael takes off.
The sword reassembles thanks to Maria, Isobel, and the purple petals.
Liz, Michael, and Max prepare for the showdown at the electrical tower. Michael secures Max in the alien cage as Liz reveals they’ve got 22 minutes and nine seconds before they can inject Jones. Max asks for a kiss for good luck, but Liz wants to hold off until Max is back in his real body.
Michael turns on the Valenti radio, car headlights and other electronic items feel the surge, and Max appears to pass out. He comes to and it worked! Jones is back in his own body which is currently restrained in the alien cage.
Jones is impressed with what they’ve done, but he already knows about their plan because he saw it in Eduardo’s head. He chuckles as he thinks about Max returning to his own body while it’s plunging the alien sword into Eduardo.
The scene switches to Max back in his own body and using his powers to heal Eduardo.
Michael, Isobel, Rosa, and Maria arrive and Jones is unimpressed. He’s certain he’ll get out and promises whoever helps him get out of the restraints will live. Michael informs him they are standing together; his attempts at splitting them up won’t work.
Jones claims he’s already used the Lockhart machine to leave a message for a vessel’s occupants to come pick him up once they awaken. Michael doesn’t believe him and Maria believes he’s too chatty.
Jones specifically addresses Rosa and asks if she figured out the mistake Michael made. She has no idea what he’s talking about.
While all this is going on, Kyle’s drawing additional blood from Max as the countdown to separation continues.
Maria wonders what Jones was talking about and suddenly Rosa winces in pain. She explains she’s hearing something loud and squeaky just as bats descend on their location. The power to the cage is cut off and Jones is freed. (Thanks a lot, bats!)
Jones immediately uses his powers to pull Liz through the air and into his hands. He demands to know the location of the serum just as Isobel tries to attack him with her sword. Jones turns the knobs on the radio and swaps places again with Max just as Isobel is about to stab him. Fortunately, Max convinces her he’s not Jones before she finishes her attack.
Max asks to be swapped back because right now Jones is alone with Kyle!
As Jones is about to kill Kyle to get the Lockhart machine Alex tases him from the rear. Seconds later Max and Jones swap bodies again, and Max feels the effects of being tased. “Oh today is not my day!” he says and Kyle realizes Max is back.
Isobel attempts to hold Jones in check with the sword but he manages to push it away from his neck. He pushes Isobel to the ground and sends the sword flying into the desert. Maria chases after it while Jones pulls the vial from Liz’s hands. The vial hangs in mid-air as he and Michael attempt to gain possession of it. It’s slowly moving toward Jones when Liz jumps up and grabs it.
Jones creates a circle of fire around him and Liz just as Max and Kyle pull up. Max warns Michael they only have 47 seconds until Jones is disconnected from him, and Michael leaps into action. Michael joins them in the circle and fights with his dad.
Isobel wishes Dallas was there since he can control water, and Kyle points out he has a fire extinguisher in the car.
Jones knocks Michael down and throws a metal cabinet at him. He then summons his sword and prepares to kill Michael but is stopped in mid-swing by Isobel (with an assist from Kyle). Maria tosses Isobel her sword and this time Isobel’s able to disarm Jones.
Jones turns his attention to the Valenti radio, switching the dials to jump back into Max’s body. He and Max wind up fighting over the frequency until finally the radio’s had enough and stops working.
Max and Jones turn to face the group and both declare themselves to be the real Max. Isobel can’t read their auras and Rosa can’t get a read on their frequencies. Liz is completely confused as she loads up Maria’s shotgun with the vial. Max and Jones both know Max’s secrets, including the fact Max has never been in Liz’s bedroom.
Liz finally figures out which is her Max when she asks for the name of the song that was playing on her Walkman. Jones knows the answer, but Max doesn’t. Liz knows which is which since Max confessed he was lost in her eyes the day they met and never remembers the song’s name.
Jones names the song but Max can’t. She shoots Jones but he tries for one final jump into Max before succumbing to the biomolecules. Their struggle with the alien dictator is finally over.
Liz and Max kiss and hold each other tight.
Their nightmare’s ended and Max spends some time in front of his place pounding away on the typewriter. Michael and Isobel join him and Max hands Isobel an envelope. Michael hopes it doesn’t contain more sappy letters. It doesn’t; it’s his secret acetone margarita recipe.
Max confirms he wants to give Jones’ body to Liz, but he believes they should all have a vote. And by all, he means Dallas who pulls up right that moment. Dallas apologizes for being late and blames it on Heath’s long confessional.
Kyle finds Rosa sketching in the park and hands her an envelope. Inside are new IDs under the name Rosalinda as well as a plane ticket to New York! She’s overwhelmed and happy, but also worried she might ruin her new life too. They share a hopeful hug.
Over at The Wild Pony, Michael and Isobel drink while Michael kills time before his first official date with Alex. Alex told him it doesn’t appear Jones was successful in getting out a message.
Gregory Manes (Tanner Novlan) shows up and requests a dance with Maria, and Isobel volunteers to man the bar while they hit the dance floor.
Liz wants some alone time with Max and suggests they leave the bar and head to the ocean.
Michael and Alex’s first in-public date begins at the foot of Alex’s dad’s statue followed by a stroll down main street while holding hands.
Kyle arrives at The Wild Pony and Isobel’s excited to yell out, “We’re closed!” She claims she’s always wanted to say that. Kyle’s brought Tequila for Maria to thank her for saving his life, and Isobel explains she gave Maria the night off. He volunteers to stay and help her clean, but she wants a little alone time.
Before Kyle leaves, Isobel calls him back for a dance. They’ve just touched hands when Anatsa arrives with news she’s landed the job at the newspaper. They kiss and Kyle looks uncomfortable as he suggests they drink his Tequila gift. Isobel asks if he wants to stay and celebrate but Kyle declines.
Max makes his first visit to Liz’s bedroom, confused since she said they were going to see the ocean. She hands him the ocean-themed snow globe and says it’ll do until they get to the actual beach. Liz asks Max to use his powers to lock the door and Max smiles and obliges while they kiss.
The episode – and the season – ends with a naked woman walking around in Careyes, Mexico. A radio gets staticky and a kind woman covers the stranger in a blanket. The woman takes the stranger to see a friend, explaining she believes she’s one of the sky people she talks about when she’s had too much to drink.
The kind woman shows her friend, Allie, the stranger’s tattoo and says she keeps repeating the name Liz Ortecho. Allie knows the naked woman’s not Liz Ortecho since Liz was one of her students in Roswell. Allie (played by Roswell’s original Liz, Shiri Appleby) leans forward and asks, “How do you know who Liz Ortecho is?” as the episode ends.
And that’s it for a jam-packed season three of Roswell, New Mexico. Thankfully, The CW gave the series an early season four renewal order so we’re not left wondering about this new alien and whether her appearance confirms Jones was able to get a message out before he died.
The CW’s Roswell, New Mexico season three episode 12 (the penultimate episode) picks up with the squad stuck in Jones’ mindscape. Dallas (Quentin Plair) has never experienced this before and he’s briefed on the ground rules, including the fact they’re unable to lie in a mindscape.
Jones (Nathan Dean) is going to kill someone if Liz (Jeanine Mason) doesn’t sever his DNA from Max’s and asks if he should just pick who to sacrifice. Liz and Michael (Michael Vlamis) remind the group Jones has heightened their emotions and is attempting to pit them against each other. Liz is Jones’ target for the most part and he works hard to turn everyone against her. He also tries to use their vulnerabilities against the others, including Dallas.
Dallas assures Jones he’s okay with whatever insult he tosses his way. “Not only did my dad give me this equation that I know you need so bad, he also gave me the memories of all the times that he had the courage to stand up to you,” says Dallas.
Michael figures out Jones isn’t able to get into his mind. Michael warns Jones that if he keeps poking around, he’ll just make himself vulnerable. Michael’s sure Jones won’t kill any of them since he’s made it a point of saying they each have something he wants.
Suddenly, they’re free of Jones’ mindscape and back in the middle of the swordfight. He’s able to incapacitate the group and grabs Michael, stealing him away from his friends. As Jones leaves, he warns that when he returns, Liz will provide him with the solution. If not, someone will die.
Dallas was gravely injured during the fight and Liz sets to work keeping him alive. Isobel (Lily Cowles) and Liz have a heated argument and Max reminds them that’s exactly what Jones wants; he needs their alliance to be splintered.
Max suggests Liz get busy on the serum and Isobel calls Kyle to come help save Dallas. Liz reveals she needs a couple of hours to finish her research.
Maria (Heather Hemmens), one of the few not involved in Jones’ reindeer games, has a vision and once again it includes a possible death of a friend. However, in this vision there are three coffins and no mourners. Kyle (Michael Trevino) shows up and apparently he hasn’t received any texts or messages from any member of the Scooby gang all day. He asks if there were lilies on one of the coffins and then admits that’s Isobel’s favorite flower. It dawns on Maria not everyone knows that, and she puts two and two together and concludes Kyle’s in love with Isobel.
Kyle stumbles through a response before finally admitting he likes her. He realizes he’s got bad timing since she’s with Anatsa and pretty happy at the moment.
Speak of the devil, Isobel calls Kyle and he tells her to take Dallas to Deep Sky.
Once there, Kyle asks Eduardo Ramos (David DeSantos) to assist but it’s too far outside his wheelhouse so he declines. Isobel steps up and volunteers to be Kyle’s scrub nurse.
Max and Liz fill Eduardo in on what went down. Heath (Steven Krueger) joins them and reveals Sheriff Taylor is out of surgery and he escaped before answering her questions. Liz breaks the news Dallas is injured and Kyle’s about to operate on him. Heath reacts to the news with a few jokes and then explains joking has always been his coping mechanism to keep from losing it.
Isobel doesn’t do well with the actual surgery; apparently, she’s a bit of a lightweight when it comes to glass protruding from chests. She knows she can’t leave – even though she wants to – since the glass is from her sword. Isobel blames herself for Dallas’ injury since she let Jones get under her skin. “This whole time I’ve been thinking I’m a badass fearless warrior but it turns out I am nothing like my mother,” says Isobel.
Kyle admits his insecurities have been triggered too and thinks he’s not living up to his dad’s legacy. Isobel chuckles and reminds him he invented a new branch of science to save her family. “You never cease to impress me,” says Isobel.
Jones has taken Michael back to Michael’s secret lair and threatens to harm Walt if Michael doesn’t behave. They exchange insults and Jones insists he’s going to ultimately break into Michael’s mind – one way or another.
Jones brings up Michael’s mom hoping to spark a reaction. He claims Nora was his righthand man until she sided with the rebels. Michael becomes enraged, which is exactly the reaction Jones was after. He insults Michael and Nora, declaring Michael’s the most broken of his tribe. Jones calls him weak as he continues to try and get into Michael’s head.
Michael points out Jones’ efforts have caused a nosebleed. Michael thinks his dictator dad’s powers have been weakened from holding five people in his mindscape. He decides this is the right moment to probe Jones’ mind in search of the truth.
Michael discovers Jones wants to use the Lockhart machine to call something (not someone). Jones warns Michael to get out of his head but Michael persists. He learns Jones killed his own triad when his sword wouldn’t charge. Michael figures out that’s when Jones discovered that taking lives powers his sword. “You murdered your family for power!” says Michael.
Jones mistakenly believes he’s in charge and is shocked to discover Michael’s capable of stripping the sword from his hands and sending it flying out of the underground bunker.
Michael’s done with his dad and is about to climb the ladder when Jones tries to stop him. Michael’s strong enough to overcome his dad’s powers and leaves the bunker.
Jones follows him and they engage in a tug-of-war over the sword. Following a battle involving hubcaps as weapons, Jones is finally able to send Michael into the side of the trailer and grab the sword.
Walt (Nicholas Ballas) gets the drop on Jones and hits him. With Jones’ attention turned to harming Walt, Michael’s able to regain control of the sword. Unfortunately, the brief fight that follows ends with Michael stabbed in the stomach with the sword! (Did that really just happen?!)
Jones grabs Michael’s face and this time he’s able to see into his mind. He learns about Michael’s relationship with Alex (Tyler Blackburn) and sees them working on the Lockhart machine together.
Jones tosses an injured Michael back into the bunker.
Liz and Heath get busy on their research but they’re, as Liz says, “duct-taping a solution” since they don’t have the remainder of the equation. Max arrives with coffee and Heath steps out to let them talk. Liz reveals the details of Jones’ offer which she knows was just a trick to enable him to clone himself.
Liz explains they’re getting closer to a solution using stem cells from Noah’s spores. The downside of the serum is that it will strip Max of his powers.
Heath returns and they go over what they’ve learned thus far, and she confesses she’s thought about the knowledge she’d gain by accepting Jones’ deal. Jones knew exactly which buttons to push and dropped that tantalizing offer because he knows what she wants.
As their research continues it’s obvious Heath’s distracted. Liz suggests he take a minute and see Dallas in surgery, advising him he doesn’t want to live with the regret of not saying goodbye if Dallas dies on the operating table.
Kyle, with Isobel’s assistance, finishes up taking the shards out of Dallas’ chest. He’s impressed at how much Isobel’s picked up in just an hour of playing nurse. “You’re a quick study. Level-headed, determined, all these great traits aside from being a warrior,” says Kyle, adding, “Don’t sell yourself short.”
They stare at each other and Kyle breaks off eye contact, returning his attention to Dallas. Isobel feels his energy and notes it’s all over the place right now. She wonders what’s up and Kyle may have been about to answer when Dallas’ condition tanks.
Isobel can feel Dallas is terrified and decides she needs to convince him to keep fighting.
Meanwhile, Alex is busy working on the Lockhart machine when Max joins him offering to help. Alex is hoping he can alter it in such a way it will lead them to Michael’s location. Alex believes Michael’s DNA might be the key to activating the machine, but the DNA off Michael’s dirty handanna doesn’t work. He asks Max to use his powers to open the machine and a frequency of 0325 appears on the dials. Alex thinks it could be both Max and Jones’ frequency.
Max confesses if Liz’s serum works, he may lose his powers. Alex reminds him that he’s always wanted to be human and Max seems conflicted. He even sounds a little jealous that Dallas is taking his place in the tribe anyway.
“Max, your siblings don’t love what you can do for them – they love you,” says Alex. Max admits he’s worried Liz won’t be attracted to him anymore after falling in love with him as an alien. If he’s no longer the secret to the universe, what is he?
“You’re not built for just one thing. You’re not just an alien; you’re not just a brother. You’re not just a clone. You are Max Evans, no matter what form that takes,” says Alex.
Max notices Heath has walked outside and slaps Alex’s arm in a thank you gesture before joining Heath. Heath confesses he’s terrified he’ll lose Dallas which means his best friend will be gone along with the final piece of the code. Heath also admits he’s worried he’ll never be redeemed for the bad things he’s done.
Max assures him they’re all trying to navigate their missteps.
Isobel interrupts the heart-to-heart, explaining they need a “Dallas specialist” in surgery.
Over at The Wild Pony, Maria tries to make the vision come back. She spots tarot cards and thinks they might be able to trigger it. The first three cards she flips over are ones representing imprisonment, fear, and painful endings. The fourth card signifies catastrophe.
Maria feels like the answer is up and sends the cards flying toward the sky. They spread out like fan blades in front of the light and she has a vision of Michael in pain in the bunker.
Heath enters the operating room and Isobel asks where Dallas would go if he was afraid. Isobel takes Heath’s hand and asks him to show her where they’d go to quiet the voices.
Isobel and Heath enter Dallas’ mindscape and upon seeing them Dallas wonders if this is his “walk into the light” moment. It’s not, but Heath’s really confused about the physics of it all. Dallas and Heath comfort each other, and Heath promises he will make things right. He asks for the last bit of Theo’s equation.
Max returns to Liz with a confession that he had an existential moment and was worried she wouldn’t love him if he was just a guy from Roswell. She assures him whoever/whatever he is, she will always love him. They’re about to kiss when Heath rushes in, admitting he has terrible timing.
Heath quickly writes out the remainder of the formula.
Maria rushes to the junkyard to help Michael. He’s in bad shape but thinks acetone will be enough to get him moving. It’s not and Maria knows he needs a hospital. Michael suggests booze, a stapler, and mechanics glue instead. He reveals Jones is on his way to Alex and the Lockhart machine at Deep Sky and begs Maria to take care of him enough to get through the night.
Over at Deep Sky, the lights flicker in the operating room and Isobel wants to find out what’s going on. However, Kyle needs help removing the shard from Dallas’ neck first.
The lights flicker again as Liz and Heath move closer to the solution. Max warns they need to hurry because he’s not the one making the lights flash. They figure out they need DNA from someone related to Jones and Max suggests Michael’s handanna.
Back in the operating room, Isobel tells Kyle they make a good team as the shard’s removed. She asks Kyle what he’s been wanting to tell her all day just as the lights go out. Isobel’s sure Jones is responsible as the lights turn on again. Kyle tells her she’s ready to be a warrior, even without an alien sword.
Liz holds up a syringe with the serum that will separate Max and Jones forever. Jones barges in holding his sword, declaring they are right on time. Eduardo is also in the room and points his gun at Jones, but Jones ignores him.
Jones demands the serum and Liz refuses to hand it over. Jones also demands Eduardo (who he calls by his real last name, Valenti) bring him the Lockhart machine.
Isobel and Kyle enter the room and badass warrior Isobel declares she’s about to kick Jones’ ass! Jones turns his back on her, not in the least bit worried. “It seems no one here has any common sense,” says Jones.
Jones breaks the plate-glass window and sends Eduardo, Heath, and Kyle flying out of it. They don’t fall and instead are suspended in mid-air. “Give me what I want or I drop them,” warns Jones.
Michael makes quite the entrance clutching the Lockhart machine. Michael turns over the machine and Jones realizes his son’s injury will keep him from being able to catch all three of his friends.
Jones, again, demands the serum from Liz. She looks at Kyle, Heath, and Eduardo hanging in the sky outside the building and as Heath yells, “Don’t do it!” Liz approaches Jones and injects him in the wrist.
Jones advises Liz she made a very wise choice. He picks up the Lockhart machine and snaps his fingers, causing the three outside to fall.

Magnum P.I. Description, Courtesy of CBS:
Magnum P.I. is a modern take on the classic series centering on Thomas Magnum, a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. A charming rogue, an American hero and a die-hard Detroit Tigers fan, Magnum lives in a guest cottage on Robin’s Nest, the luxurious estate where he works as a security consultant to supplement his P.I. business.
The “majordomo” of the property is Juliet Higgins, a beautiful and commanding disavowed MI:6 agent whose second job is to keep Magnum in line, with the help of her two Dobermans. When Magnum needs back-up on a job, he turns to his trusted buddies and fellow POW survivors, Theodore “TC” Calvin, a former Marine chopper pilot who runs Island Hoppers, a helicopter tour business, and Orville “Rick” Wright, a former Marine door-gunner-turned-impresario of Oahu’s coolest nightclub and the most connected man on the island.
Suspicious of Magnum’s casual attitude and presence at his crime scenes, Detective Gordon Katsumoto finds that he and Magnum are more alike than either of them care to admit. One of Magnum’s biggest supporters is Teuila “Kumu” Tuileta, the unofficial “House Mom” and cultural curator of Robin’s Nest. With keys to a vintage Ferrari in one hand, aviator sunglasses in the other, and an Old Düsseldorf longneck chilling in the fridge, Thomas Magnum is back on the case!
