7 February 2000 At the Crashdown Café, Alex tells Liz and Maria that his band, the Whits, is auditioning for the KROZ Blind Date Concert. The KROZ DJ comes into the Crashdown and announces the winner of the Blind Date contest is Liz. She was unaware that Maria entered both of them in the contest and is not very pleased, so when the DJ asks what's going on in her mind right now, she replies "Nothing I can say on live radio". Tuesday, 8 February 2000 At school, Liz and Maria notice Alex posting a notice for a new singer for his band because his regular, Wendy, is ill and they need someone for the audition. Maria volunteers. Alex is hesitant, he wants someone with more experience than Karaoke but he tells her to come to that afternoon's practice session. The girls at school crowd around Liz to congratulate her for winning the contest. Kyle comes up to Max, who is watching Liz, and tells him he knows his pain. Max says he is fine and Kyle says he was in denial too when they first broke up. Max says they didn't break up because they were never together. Kyle says "She really did a number on you didn't she" and then equates Liz to a man-eater. Maria arrives at Alex's practice session and gives them sheet music for her songs, which are pop songs, and they play alternative music. She tells them if they want to pass the audition they need to play what the radio station likes. They don't appreciate her telling them what to do but agree to hear her sing. At the Crashdown, Michael tries to convince Max and Isabel they need to use the map in the cave painting to find Nasedo. Max is against the idea because he doesn't think they should be trying to find a murderer. Michael leaves and Isabel tells Max he shouldn't destroy Michael's hope, it's all he has. Wednesday, 9 February 2000 The radio DJ conducts an interview to determine Liz's criteria for her blind date, which ends up sounding a lot like Max - a serious, dark haired, mystery man from an exotic place. Behaving like a prima donna, Maria is late for the audition and then tells the auditioners that it's her band, which upsets Alex. Friday, 11 February 2000 Liz is dressed for her blind date and is doing a final check in her mirror, when she sees Max on her balcony. She goes out to him and he tells her "I couldn't just let you find another guy. I love you Liz". They kiss lovingly. Then car horns down below break her reverie and Maria comes in and tells her "true love awaits". Liz comes downstairs and meets Doug Shellow, a very attractive college student. Max is listening to the DJ describe the meeting then turns off the radio. Kyle stops by Max's with his friends who have all been drinking. Kyle wants Max to come with him to check out Liz's dream date and he tells Max he will either have to drive them or let them sleep on his lawn. He takes the car keys. Liz and Doug are having dinner while the DJ gives a play by play of their conversation. They both admit they were hoping for a normal date. Many townfolk, including Max and Kyle, are outside the restaurant watching through the window. The DJ asks them to kiss and Doug dips Liz back and kisses her while the townfolk cheer. Max looks stricken. Doug whispers to Liz "Out the back, through the kitchen on three, they'll never catch us" and they take off. Kyle offers Max a drink from his flask. Max tells him he doesn't drink but Kyle convinces him and he takes one sip. He becomes drunk immediately. Kyle calls him a wussy so Max challenges him to a race, then takes off before Kyle is ready. Michael comes for Isabel. He tells her he figured out how to read the map. They drive to the library. He tells Isabel that the constellation he saw in his dreams is Aries the Ram and when Aries is directly over Roswell all the symbols on the cave wall take on locations. He has chosen the symbol that is the library. Kyle finds Max sitting on the roof of a building and tells him to get down before he gets hurt and everyone blames him. Max tells Kyle he is glad he got drunk because now the real Max can come out. He admits to Kyle that he and Liz are in love but doesn't know why they're not together. Kyle says they are both losers and Max suggests they try to win her back by showing her how they feel about her. Kyle asks how they are going to split her up "Every other week? Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and alternate Saturdays?" On the grass in front of the library, Michael lays out some rope in the shape of the symbol and pours gasoline on it. Isabel tells Michael she is afraid if he finds Nasedo he won't need her and Max anymore. Michael tells her that's impossible, then ignites the rope. On Liz's balcony, behind Kyle's back, Max uses his powers to draw a heart shape with an arrow and his and Liz's initials on her wall. Kyle turns and sees the heart and says "Nice. Girls always like that meaningful stuff. I suck at that". Kyle wants to know how far he got with Liz and Max tells him "We saw into each other's soul" then sighs. Kyle says "second base". Max replies "Well, we can't win them all". Liz and Doug go to the Crashdown so they can talk without a crowd. A while later, the KROZ van pulls up to the Crashdown so Liz and Doug run upstairs. In Liz's bedroom, Max uses his powers to change photos of Alex and Maria into himself in a picture on Liz's desk. Kyle is going through her underwear drawer. Liz and Doug come in. Max tells her that he and Kyle are really, really drunk. Doug asks Liz who they are and Kyle says "the exes, the rejects". Max says they are there to win her back. Liz asks Kyle "What did you do to him?" and Max tells Kyle not to tell her anything they said tonight because it's private. Kyle says his secret is safe with him. Liz tells Kyle that everything Max told him tonight was a lie because Max makes things up when he is drunk. Max says "But this is the first time I've ever been drunk". Liz takes Max out onto the balcony and Kyle prevents Doug from following. Max shows her the heart, he touches it and it lights up. The radio DJ and crew come up to the bedroom to see Kyle wrestling with Doug on the bed, the heart on the balcony wall and Liz and Max going down the balcony ladder. Liz tells Max to stop running. Max tells Liz "Let's just keep running. You and me, away from here, away from everything. As long as we're together, nothing else matters". Liz points out that Max is drunk and nothing he is saying is true. He tells her "It's all true, it's how I really feel. It's all just magic when I think about you". Max touches a lamppost and the lights dance around like in a ballroom. Liz is afraid someone will see. He touches a car and the alarm goes off. "When you're here…" The alarm changes to music box music. "You're my dream girl, Liz". Liz says "And what if I believe you tonight?" Max replies "Then we will live happily ever after". Liz says "And then what about tomorrow when you go back to realising who you really are and all of your fantasies go away?" The ballroom lights stop. Max says "I'll still have you". Liz says "This could never be normal, Max". Max touches the parking meters one by one and they turn into sparklers. He says "What's so great about normal?" At the library, the signal has burned out and Isabel removes the marks. Michael is discouraged and says "Forget it, he's not going to come". Isabel says "Maybe not tonight" and Michael says "Not ever, no one ever comes for me". Isabel says "I will, whenever you need me". They walk off arm in arm. Liz is at a pay phone calling for a taxi. She tells Max to "stay" but he ends up flagging down the KROZ van. At the concert, Maria and Alex's band come out on stage and Maria walks right off again. She is suffering from stage freight. Alex tries to calm her down. The KROZ DJ arrives and comes out on stage with Liz, Doug, Kyle (who he keeps referring to as Lyle) and Max. The DJ tells the audience that it's the strangest blind date he's ever been on because Liz's two ex-boyfriends joined it. Max points at Doug and says "I think you'd look better as a blonde" and Doug brushes Max's hand away just in time. The DJ wants her to choose one of them and asks each guy to speak up for himself. Doug says "I thought you just wanted a normal date". Kyle says "I'm just happy to be nominated and I think I'm going to puke" and he leaves the stage. When it's Max's turn, he takes her in his arms and gives her a very romantic kiss. We see visions of their times together. Max sobers up, says he is sorry and leaves the stage. Liz goes after him and asks him if he meant everything he said tonight. Max says he can't remember what he said and hopes he didn't ruin her night, then leaves. Maria and Alex go on stage and perform "In the Air Tonight". In a flashback, Liz and Max are under the lamppost with the ballroom lights flashing then Max is up on Liz's balcony, alone, touching the heart to light it up. At the library, a man in a trench coat goes to the spot where the signal was, waves his hand over it and it re-ignites. He takes a photo of Max, Isabel and Michael and places it in the flames. Then he walks away. |
