Liz calls Kyle as soon as they get in the car. "Why are you calling him?"

"Because I live with dad and an attack at work lost my job-

"Work-job-

"Kyle?"

"Yeah, Liz," Liz hears, "what's up?"

"Where are you now?"

"Leaving my mom's, why?"

"You live alone right?"

"Yeah," he says taking a beat, "what's going on?"

"Max is dead. Rosa's alive and I need a place she can stay…"

"What?!"

"I'll tell you at your place," she blurts out as she gets on the freeway, "right now I gotta figure out where Rosa can stay till we…"

"See you soon," Kyle says and takes a deep breath. Standing in front of his car door, he takes a beat before he gets in his car and drives home. The night before he was sewing up Liz and now Max is dead but Rosa's...alive.

He arrives home to find Rosa sitting in Liz's car, wrapped in a blanket, and Liz standing against it, looking from side to side, "Hey," she says.

"How?"

"Let us in and I'll explain."

As he fumbles with the gate key, Rosa steps out of the car. She follows him and Liz up the stairs to his condo. "This wasn't here when I-

"It's been ten years," Liz says as they continue up the stairs.

"Come in," Kyle offers as they reach the landing in front of his door. He takes in the site of his ex-girlfriend and their sister entering his apartment. He's grateful he found the time to clean before the trip to the alien torture prison.

Liz takes in the makings of Kyle's bachelor bad. Not the bro energy she expected, with full living and dining sets. As she attempts to set her jacket on a dining chair, he offers, "Let me hang it up."

She watches him turn to Rosa and say, "I'll bring out some sweats for you…"

"Thanks," the sisters say in unison.

Liz is too nervous to sit, and can't stop herself from staring at her sister. She watches as Rosa wraps the blanket around her tighter and as she sets her eyes to scan her surroundings. Liz crosses her arms as she catches Kyle come back into the dining room and say, "I also set towels in the bathroom, first door to your left, "if you want to take a shower…"

"Yeah," Rosa says taking the clothes from the guy she recently-in her timeline-learned was her brother, "thanks. I'll be quick."

Kyle nods and sets his hand on the back of a dining chair. He takes in a deep breath. Catches Liz's eye. They're not going to start talking till they hear the water running, he thinks to himself. Between sewing her up the night before and the nineteen year old Rosa in his house, there was a lot to discuss.

"After Noah used Isabel to kill Katie, Rosa and the other girl, he had enough strength to leave his pod, apparently-

"What does this have to do with Rosa?"

"He put her in his pod," Liz explains, "somehow he got her body and stored it in the pod…"

"But how did she-"

"Max brought her back," Liz blurts out the tears not helping themselves to containment, "he used all his power to bring her back and-

Kyle walks towards her and gives her a hug, "I'm sorry-

"Isabel and Michael are putting him in his pod," Liz interjects breaking from Kyle's comforting embrace.

"Michael lost his mom yesterday," Kyle says, "and I put Sergeant Manes into a coma after he tried to kill me."

"Kyle!"

"He figured he needed to silence me after I saw how they kept aliens in Caufield prison, tortured for decades," Kyle explains, "and Alex said they were making weapons against aliens using their own DNA…"

Liz shakes her head, "Kyle, I'm so-

He interrupts her and says, "It's been a crazy few days, huh?"

"Yeah," Liz says, "I haven't even checked on my dad-

"What are we gonna tell 'im?" Rosa asks as she walks out.

They both look at her, tiny in Kyle's faded Michigan gear.

"I dunno,' Liz says, "Matt Long's been targeting us since…"

"Pendejo," Rosa blurts, "his sister was the one who wouldn't leave me the fuck alone-

"I know," Liz says, "but we gotta come up with a quick story…"

"Why not the truth?"

Liz sighs, "What do you think the truth is?"

"Isabel tried to kill me and my friends-

"No," Kyle interrupts, "she didn't." He pulls out a seat for her and asks, "you hungry?"

She nods but remains standing, "What do you mean she didn't, she put her hand-

"Have a seat, Rosa," Liz explains taking a seat herself, "there's a lot to catch you up on-

"Did you never leave Roswell, Liz?!"

"Yes" she answers, "right after we buried you. I stayed after I realized an alien killed you, and I spent months trying to figure out who did it. Once I had an idea, I created a serum to mute their powers."

"Serum, what are you a doctor now?!" Rosa asks smiling.

Liz can't tell if it's a smile of pride or contempt but then answers, "No, I do medical research-Kyle's the doctor."

"Are two together-

"No," Liz answers, "we broke up after I left."

"Why'd you bring me here then?" Rosa asks leaning back in her chair, "if you're not-

"Because he's your brother," Liz answers, "I found that out too once I found your backpack, then Kyle found the place his dad was helping you get clean and…

"So you know?" Rosa asks looking down at her sweatshirt.

"I haven't told Pa' yet," Liz explains, "I wouldn't know where to begin and we've been trying to keep Noah from killing more people."

"Who's Noah?" Rosa asks.

"The alien that possessed Isabel all the time you thought you spent with her...the one who really killed you and those other girls-

"Among others," Kyle adds as he comes back into the front room. "Hopefully this works, Rosa," he says putting a kale salad in front of her. "I went healthy given…

"Sure," she says, "I just got back from the dead so I guess I should eat greens and stuff."

Kyle looks at Liz who shrugs at him and then at Rosa who keeps her eyes on her kale and chicken.

"How's your wound?" Kyle asks Liz.

"Fine," Liz answers.

"Wound?"

"Noah tried to kill me last night," Liz explains to Rosa, "he gets power from killing people. Saving people," Liz explains, "drains them. And Kyle," she begins turning to him, "Maria's mom has to know something."

"Maria's mom?" Kyle and Rosa ask in unison.

"Yeah" Liz says freaking out at their minor sibling moment, "Maria's pendant has a flower whose pollen paralyzes them, knocks them unconscious…"

"Liz!" Rosa blurts out, "they're dangerous!"

"Max saved my life twice and brought you back from the dead, Rosa," Liz says defending them, "it's not that simple."

"We tortured a bunch of them since they crashed here," Kyle adds, "assuming the worst of all them. Noah seems to be the only asshole…"

"Max took care of that," Liz breathes. She takes a minute as thinking about Max brings the feeling of his lifeless body under her and as much as she's invested in figuring out what to do with Rosa, her heart still hurts from the ache of losing Max. Given the echo, she felt a part of herself go with him.

"You can stay here," Kyle says, "until we figure out what to do…"

"Thanks," Rosa says taking in the last bit of her salad, "we'll probably need a way to get me out of her for good, then."

"I'm sorry?" Liz asks, "What are you talking about?"

"You know I'm right, Liz," Rosa says, "I'm the one thing that can't be explained. The one lie too big to tell-

"Let's not make any major decisions yet," Kyle says, "we have a lot to learn from each other before any of that happens," he reaches his hand out over to her, "you can stay here as long as you want-

"Don't fight this, Rosa," Liz says, "I can't lose anyone else today…"

"What-

"Max was in love with her," Kyle explains, "and we want to enjoy you, even if for a little bit."

"So," Rosa admits to herself, "I'm a prisoner…"
