DILEMMA
"He's not over her," Liz said to Maria as they cleaned the tables. The Crashdown was finally empty. The two waitresses were anxious to end their working night.
"What do you mean he's not over her?" Maria said. "What's there to get over?"
Liz sighed. "They were married, you know? They had a whole lifetime together once. That's kind of hard to get over with."
"Liz, Max knows what kind of person Tess was," Maria said. "I mean, he basically slept with the enemy. Tess killed Alex and she was going to hand over Max, Michael, and Isabel to get killed too."
"Then, why is he shutting down on me?" Liz sat down in a booth and frowned. "It's so hard."
"Give him time," Maria said.
Liz glanced outside to the UFO Center. "How much time?"

She heard the key unlocking the door and then it opened. He was back.
Max walked in the storage room and shut the door behind him. He handed Tess a pair of jeans, sweater, and tennis shoes.
"What are you doing back here?" she said as she took the clothes from him.
"I believe you," he said.
"You do?"
He nodded. "If you really knew who you were, you would have blasted that door open by now."
She raised an eyebrow. "I would have what?"
"Nothing."
Max turned his head and Tess put on the pair of jeans.
"Thank you," she said.
"They're just some old clothes that Isabel…she's my sister," Max said, "She doesn't wear them anymore,"
"No, I mean, thank you for believing me," Tess said.

Liz smiled at Sean as she walked outside with Maria. Sean sat in the driver's seat of the car and opened the passenger's door for Maria.
"See you tomorrow," Maria said as she got in.
Liz waved at her.
"Hey, Liz," Sean said.
She leaned down to his window.
Sean raised his hand to the collar of her waitress uniform and adjusted it. "There. That's better."
Maria rolled her eyes. "Sean, can we go now?"
Liz stepped back and watched the car drive off. She touched her collar and let her fingers linger there for a moment. "Yeah, it is."
