Rosa looks over Liz crying over Max's body, "Liz," she whispers, "c'mon."
Liz takes in a deep breath, turns to find Rosa, alive and standing a few feet away from her. She wipes her nose on her sleeve and pulls out of her phone. She texts Isobel and Michael, "Max needs you. In the cave. Hurry," before speaking to her sister.
"I'm not-we're not leaving him until they get here-"
"They?" Rosa asks, "Isobel is the one-
"She was possessed by another," Liz says, "there were four of them…"
"Four," Rosa begins to ask, "four aliens?"
Liz nods turning back to Max, smoothing his hair from his face, searching his chest, then his neck for the faintest of beats. She continues to do CPR, not knowing how long Max can go without anything pulsing in him before he could be declared-she stopped herself from thinking it. She continued with no thought, despite Rosa's warnings, because she had to believe, she had to believe he'd coming back to her.
Isabel gasps at the sight of Rosa. Their eyes meet, searching each other for explanations that Michael's entrance interrupts. His entry turns Isabel to Max's body, under a crying Liz, on the ground. .
"Max?!" Isobel cries out. She bends over Max and gets her out of the way.
"I came here as soon as the echo-as soon as I stopped feeling him," Liz says standing up, watching Isabel examine him.
"We told him not to do it," Michael breathes out as he watches Isabel search for a pulse.
"Is there anything you can do?" Liz asks, "Anything?"
"Let me try," Isabel said putting her hand over his heart, "see if I can restart even a little…"
"You may need a little help," Michael says kneeling on Max's other side.
Rosa collects Liz and asks, "Que esta pasando?"
Liz breaks out of Rosa's arms, wipes her face and explains, "they're trying to save Max…"
"What happened to," Rosa begins to ask and then changes gears, "how did I get here?"
Liz takes in a deep breath, darting her eyes between Isabel and Michael's glowing hands and teenage Rosa standing next to her. "Noah stored you in his pod after…"Liz stops as she hears them screaming in pain.
Michael lifts his hand, as he breaks a sweat and, when he sees blood begin to leak from Isabel's nose, he pulls her away from him. "Stop, Is, stop," he shouts, "he's gone."
"No, Michael," she says trying to break from his grip, "no!"
"I can't lose you, too…"
Liz turns to her sister's arms again, buries herself there, letting the tears fall. Despite her sobs, she could hear Isabel's, feeling inherently conflicted in regaining her sister after losing the man she had finally allowed herself to love.
"Let's take him to the pod, Isabel," Michael says, "until we can figure something out-
"Until we get strong enough," Isabel says, "because this can't be the end…"
Liz considers saying something, but then the months of her rage against them about Rosa comes to head and she realizes there's nothing she can say. Michael meets her eyes in a way that says, I know it's not your fault, as they drag Max out of the cave.
Rosa and Liz watch them leave, Liz finally realizing her sister can't go home nor can she stay there. "There's a lot we gotta talk about, Rosa," Liz says as they exit the cave, "and you can't go home just yet…"
"Why?" Rosa asks, "I'm hungry and I'm-
"Because you've been dead for ten years, Rosa," Liz says as she unlocks her car door for her sister.
