The pilot starts on the roof of Liz Parkers's house. She is writing a journal entry. "5 days ago I died. And then everything got weird!"
We then flash back to 5 days ago to her parents Crash down Café where Liz and her best friend Maria work. Liz is waiting on 2 tourist who are looking for information on the Crash of 1949. Liz then hands the 2 a picture of a supposed alien that has been in her family for year! Then Maria comes over a grabs Liz away from them to talk about Liz's boyfriend, Kyle, the Sheriff' s's son. Maria also point out how Max Evens keeps looking over at Liz. The next thing anyone know two truckers get into a fight and one pulls out a gun. The bullet hits Liz right in the gut. After the two trucker run out, Max runs over to Liz and places his hand over the wound and heals her. But not before seeing visions of Liz's past. Max's friend Michael runs over and Max throws him the key and he runs out. Max then goes to break a bottle of ketchup and pour it over Liz. Liz get up right as Max runs out and Maria starts to wonder.
When the Sheriff' s come to integrate everyone, the two tourist that Liz had given the picture to are telling him that a boy ran up to Liz then got off! They also mention that the gun went off, but where is the bullet hole? That gets the Sheriff' s's attention.
When Liz gets home, she removes her uniform with the hole in it and see a silver hand print on her stomach where Max touched her.
The Next day in Science class, Max walks in late and sit next to Liz. He puts a pencil in his mouth as a nervous reaction. Then when the teacher announces that his side of the room needs to remove some cells from their checks, Max gets a bathroom pass and leaves the room with out his pencil which is sitting on his books. Liz first examine her cells, then grabs max's pencil and straps off some of the cells. When she looks at them, they are not normal.
After class she grabs Max's arm and pulls him into the Band room, where , to her surprise, Kyle is fooling around on the drums. He tries to talk to Liz, but she has other plans and pushes him out of the room! She then goes on to show Max her silver handprint on her stomach, and also tells him about the cells from his pencil. Max then must tell Liz the truth about where he is from. "Not Around Here!" This makes Liz nervous and she runs out.
After school, Max is seen at a food stand eating with 2 other people. Isabel his sister, and Michael his best friend. Both also "Not from around here!". They are discussing what happened at the Crash down the other day. Isabel is angry at Max for helping out! Max then tells them he told Liz about him. His sister and Michael both get very mad.
Later that night, Liz is walking home from a date with Kyle. She then, by mistake, lifts up her shirt, exposing the silver hand print. Kyle is now suspicious. After Kyle has gone, Max shows up and has to talk. Then go down into the Café and he tries to explain to her about who he is but just laughs at the thought about the vision she gave him. Liz then becomes nervous that he knew that because the vision was of her in kinder garden and she meet him in 3rd grade. He then explains how that was possible and tries to make the connection go the other way so she can see who he is and that he won't hurt her. It works.
Following day, Liz loses her backpack and runs into one of maria's and her jointed friends, who is upset that she is ditching Maria. right after Liz get done telling him everything is fine, the Sheriff' s want to talk to her.
