Isabelle, Michael,Tess, Liz, Maria and Alex wonder where Max is and what's happening to him. Tess assures them Pierce won't kill Max - he wants to study him. They ask where Nasedo is. Tess says she doesn't know - he's never left her like this before.

Liz wants to go to Valenti for help. The others disagree, they don't want Valenti to know their secret. Tess suggests they use their gifts (powers). Isabelle has the ability to enter people's dreams, so she wants to try and communicate with Max to find out where he is.

Pierce says there's something strange about Max's x-rays - they're human. He doesn't understand how that can be. Max's blood cells, however, are not human. Pierce tells Max he knows what he is and Max had better answer his questions. Pierce asks Max about things he know's nothing about - events/murders that occured before Max was born. Pierce asks about the orb/communicator. He has one, he wants to know where the other one is and what happens when they're put together. Max honestly doesn't know. Pierce has Max drugged.

Isabelle is able to successfully communicate with Max. She finds out his location - Eagle Rock Military Base. They arrive and find that the base was closed many years ago, Pierce is secretely using the facilities. Tess says that because she, Michael and Isabelle have special powers, they have a better chance of saving Max without Liz, Maria and Alex tagging along. Michael kisses Maria before leaving.

Pierce asks Max about the crash. Once again, Max can't answer his questions. Pierce tells Max he's going to find out one way or another.Pierce has Max probed and hooked up to various monitors.

Liz, Maria, and Alex worry at the Crash Down. Sheriff Valenti shows up. He asks them to let him help. He knows he saw 2 people who looked like Max - one was the real Max and one was an imposter. Liz tells Valenti they don't know any more than he does. After Valenti leaves, they decide to give Isabelle, Michael and Tess until 4pm to return with Max before they go to Valenti for help.

Liz tells Maria and Alex that she's not waiting any longer - she's going to Valenti for help. She reminds them that Max started to trust him. She's going to say whatever she can to make him help.

Michael, Isabelle and Tess access the building. They see a covered body being taken to the morgue, so they follow and pray it isn't Max. Once they discover the body isn't Max,but the agent Nasedo killed the day before, they begin to plan their next move. An agent enters the room and tells them they shouldn't be there. Michael attempts to use his powers. It's Nasedo. He's shape-shifted to look like one of the agents working with Pierce. He shape-shifts back to Harding. He tells Tess she should have known better than to come there. Nasedo tells them he has to get them out of there.

Liz tells Valenti taht his new deputy is actually Agent Pierce and that Max is in a lot of trouble. Valenti asks Liz how she knows. She asks Valenti to trust her and help Max.

Pierce tells Max they know more about him than he thinks. They've been studing his kind for 50 years.

Nasedo needs access to secure parts of the building that are only accessible by recognizable fingerprints. Although Michael, Isabelle, and Tess's bone structures are completely human, his is not. Nasedo tells Michael he needs Michael to lift the finger print of an agent onto his finger to gain access.

Max attempts to use his powers to throw Pierce up against the wall. Pierce laughs and tells Max the drugs they injected into him have supressed his powers. He's aware, that unlike Nasedo, Max is part human which means he has feelings/emotions and he experiences friendship and love. Pierce threatens to kill Max's friends if he doesn't cooperate, starting with Liz. Max reluctantly tells Pierce the location of the other communicator.

Nasedo tells Michael, Liz and Tess that humans are weak. He explains that they have human bone structure because they are human, however they are several thousand years ahead of mankind. Nasedo also tells them that their powers are human - they're just extremely advanced. They haven't even tapped into their capabilities yet. Nasedo has everyone set their watches so they can carry out their rescue plan. Michael has trouble transferring the agent's fingerprint to his own at first. He's succesful with Nasedo's help and they're able to gain access to secure areas.

Isabelle worries about their plan to rescue Max. Tess assures Isabelle that Nasedo know's what he's doing, being continually hunted throughout his life. Isabelle is startled when an agent appears to grab Tess and force her out of the room. Tess has just demonstrated to Isabelle how she can create illusions. She explains that she can only do it for a short period of time , hopefully long for Nasedo and Michael to rescue Max.

Pierce has retrieved the second communicator. Now he wants Max to make it work, only Max has no idea of how they work. He's never seen two together. Pierce doesn't believe him. He threatens to have Max physically taken apart piece by piece and assures Max he'd be awake during the entire procedure. Isabelle communicates with Max telepathically. Isabelle asks Tess if she knows how the communicators work. She doesn't. Isabelle tells Max to tell Pierce anything. Max tells Pierce it takes a whilefor something to happen. Tess creates an illusion making the orbs/communicators glow and appear to be doing 'something'. Pierce gets excited and moves in closer to get a better view. Max looks down at the orbs in his hands - he's waiting to see what's going to happen too. Nasedo and Michael use their powers to punch in the wall and break into the room. Michael grabs Max. Pierce is still staring at what he believes to be working orbs/communicators thanks to Tess's crafty illusion. Nasedo is about to 'take care' of Pierce when two agents run in and shoot him. Nasedo falls to the floor. Meanwhile,Michael struggles to get Max out. Agent Pierce runs after Michael and Max. Sheriff Valenti saves the day and shoots Pierce before he can shoot Michael and Max.
