Berg &#038; Aaron Harberts, Directed by Bruce Seth Green<\/p>\n<p>Michael has been having nightmares for a couple of weeks after getting shot.<br \/>\nHe shows up at Max\ufffds room in the middle of the night with a duffel bag and<br \/>\ntells Max that they are leaving, that he needs to get out of town for a<br \/>\ncouple of days. He tells Max that he\ufffds been having nightmares and that they<br \/>\nneed to have some fun. Michael wants to leave right away, but Max insists<br \/>\nthat they have to come up with a plan to cover their tracks. Michael<br \/>\nreluctantly agrees. Max asks where they are going and Michael says \ufffdA place<br \/>\nwithout rules. Without responsibilities. A place to forget your troubles. A<br \/>\ncity of dreams.\ufffd<\/p>\n<p>They end up going to school so they can set up a cover story. When they get<br \/>\nto school Max and Michael are discussing the money Michael got from Laurie\ufffds<br \/>\naunt and uncle. Max is trying to convince Michael that they don\ufffdt need to<br \/>\nuse all the money for this trip. Michael says that the money was a bribe and<br \/>\nit\ufffds tainted so he doesn\ufffdt want it. He thinks that it\ufffds the money that\ufffds<br \/>\nhaunting him. Isabel overhears them talking about going somewhere. (BTW the<br \/>\nscript mentions something about Isabel\ufffds hair being shorter \ufffd I wonder if KH<br \/>\ngot a haircut?) She asks Max where they are going and he tells her and she<br \/>\ninvites herself along. One thing leads to another and the rest of the gang<br \/>\nfinds out about the trip. (Liz doesn\ufffdt want to go and explains to Maria that<br \/>\nthe reason she doesn\ufffdt want to go is because that\ufffds where she and Max were<br \/>\nmarried. Maria tries to convince Liz that the whole wedding thing never<br \/>\nhappened and that she needs to create her own memories.)<\/p>\n<p>They get to Vegas and Maria has set them up in this huge suite (the<br \/>\nPresidential Suite). Michael tells them they all need fake ids so he changes<br \/>\nall of their licenses and gives them all drink names as aliases (Kyle is<br \/>\nHarvey Wallbanger, Maria is Margarita Salt, Max is Rob Roy, Liz is Shirley<br \/>\nTemple, etc.) Michael names himself Doctor Love Michael hand each of them<br \/>\nsome money and tells them they have to spend it all in Vegas. Michael tells<br \/>\nthem the he and Max \ufffdrun alone\ufffd and if they run into them in the casino that<br \/>\nthey should leave them alone.<\/p>\n<p>The four girls go into the casino and Maria bails and says she\ufffds going to<br \/>\nthe spa. Isabel heads for the tables and Liz and Tess follow along but they<br \/>\nare stopped by a security guard and they get thrown out of the casino for<br \/>\nbeing underage. Alex, Kyle and Isabel end up at a blackjack table and Kyle<br \/>\nis trying to explain the game to Isabel. She ends up losing the round and<br \/>\ngets up to leave telling them that she\ufffds going to look for something else.<br \/>\nAlex loses all of his money in one hand. Maria comes up with some sort of<br \/>\nflyer for auditions and asks Alex if he will be her accompanist. Alex<br \/>\ndoesn\ufffdt want to do it but Maria tells him she\ufffdll give him all her money if<br \/>\nhe helps her so he agrees.<\/p>\n<p>Max and Michael are playing craps and are doing really well. Michael is<br \/>\ntrying to explain the game to Max, but Max tells him that he\ufffds just going to<br \/>\nwatch. Michael is having an amazing winning streak. Maria comes up to tell<br \/>\nhim about the audition but he blows her off so she leaves. The stickman at<br \/>\nthe craps table and the pit boss start to get suspicious.<\/p>\n<p>Liz and Tess are now outside the casino trying to figure out what to do now.<br \/>\nTess is griping about being stuck in the party capital of the world with Liz<br \/>\nwhen a taxi pulls up that has an ad for the Elvis Chapel and Liz gets upset<br \/>\nand starts yelling at Tess and tells her that they are going to figure out a<br \/>\nway to get back into the casino.<\/p>\n<p>Isabel is sitting at a slot machine and a woman in a stained wedding dress<br \/>\nsits down next to her. Traci (the bride) tells Isabel that her maid of honor<br \/>\ngot food poisoning and that some dumb Canadian (sorry Cranky) spilled Merlot<br \/>\non her. Isabel takes some club soda and pretends to remove the stain, but<br \/>\nshe really uses her powers to do the trick. Traci\ufffds groom and best man show<br \/>\nup and they ask Isabel if she is free and can be maid of honor. Isabel<br \/>\nagrees.<\/p>\n<p>Back to Max and Michael \ufffd they now have a ton of chips and they are<br \/>\nsurrounded by a huge crowd. Max is getting nervous but Michael is having a<br \/>\nball. Max tells Michael that it\ufffds not right that he\ufffds using his powers to<br \/>\ncheat. Michael gets pissed and tells Max \ufffdthanks for the sermon dad.\ufffd The<br \/>\ncasino guys are clearly getting suspicious and they hand Michael another<br \/>\npair of dice (apparently the fourth set). He rolls and wins again. Max sees<br \/>\nthe pit boss call over the security guard and they end up closing the table.<br \/>\nMichael gets belligerent and starts yelling and gets into a fight with the<br \/>\npit boss. He ends up punching the pit boss and he and Max get taken away by<br \/>\nthe security guards and end up in jail.<\/p>\n<p>Tess and Liz have bought some slinky dresses from the lobby gift shop and<br \/>\ndone their hair in an attempt to look older. The same security guard who<br \/>\nthrew them out earlier comes up to them and asks them if they need help.<br \/>\nThey tell him they are looking for their husbands. Tess spots two guys at<br \/>\nthe bar and winks and they smile back. The guard asks for their room number<br \/>\nand then tells them to get lost. The 2 guys (who are pretty much mobsters)<br \/>\ncome up and ask the guard if there is a problem. The thugs tell the security<br \/>\nguard that the girls are with them and the guard leaves.<\/p>\n<p>Maria is at her audition and wows them with her singing and then the guy in<br \/>\ncharge tells her to take off her top. Maria is speechless and Alex jumps to<br \/>\nher defense. They guy tells them the audition is for a stripping lady and<br \/>\nMaria is really upset and they leave.<\/p>\n<p>Liz and Tess are sitting in the bar with their mobster friends. When one of<br \/>\nthem says lets go upstairs. Liz suggest that they do some gambling but one<br \/>\nof the guys says he wants to finish their \ufffddate.\ufffd Liz tells them she is<br \/>\nfelling sick and tries to leave but they tell her that they\ufffdve already<br \/>\n\ufffddropped a cool hundred on you two\ufffd and that they expected that to be<br \/>\n\ufffdcredited to their bill.\ufffd Liz is freaked. Tess tells her to walk away now.<br \/>\nLiz turns and sees Tess going into a mind warp and they escape.<\/p>\n<p>When Maria and Alex return to their room they find a wedding reception going<br \/>\non for Traci and her husband. Alex asks for his gambling money and then<br \/>\nleaves. While the party continues the phone rings. It is Michael calling<br \/>\nfrom jail. Maria\ufffds still pissed at him and she hangs up on him. A little<br \/>\nlater Maria finds Kyle and Alex at the blackjack table (apparently Kyle has<br \/>\nbeen doing really well). She tells them to cash out that she needs the money<br \/>\nto bail out Max (and if there\ufffds any left over Michael).<\/p>\n<p>Max and Michael have a huge fight in their jail cell and after they get back<br \/>\nto the hotel Max calls and books himself on the next flight back to Roswell.<br \/>\nMaria tries to get Michael to make Max stay but Michael won\ufffdt do anything.<br \/>\nLiz catches up with Max as he heads out the door and tries to convince him<br \/>\nto stay. Max says he\ufffds leaving that Liz will have a better time without him<br \/>\nthat he\ufffds just a machine (something Michael said to him in jail) that ruins<br \/>\neveryone else\ufffds good time. Liz gives up and goes back inside. A cab pull up<br \/>\nand a happy couple run into the casino. Max watches them go by and is about<br \/>\nto get into the cab and he looks back. The bride and groom are in slow<br \/>\nmotion. Max watches them frozen in the open door of the cab but this time<br \/>\nit\ufffds Max and Liz wearing the tux and the bridal gown.<\/p>\n<p>The gang less Max and Isabel (who is still off with the best man) are out at<br \/>\na big dinner. Michael says he\ufffds still hungry after his lobster dinner and<br \/>\nsays he\ufffds going to get a cheeseburger. He leaves and the next thing the gang<br \/>\nsees is Michael on stage introducing Maria \ufffd he says that she\ufffds going to<br \/>\nsing for everyone. Tess grabs Kyle and says they\ufffdre dancing. Isabel comes in<br \/>\nand she and Alex end up dancing leaving Liz alone at the table. A hand taps<br \/>\nher shoulder and it\ufffds Max. He nods to the dance floor and they go to dance.<br \/>\nLiz told him she thought he\ufffdd be at the airport by now. Max said that he was<br \/>\non his way when he had a weird moment. He tells her about the vision he says<br \/>\n\ufffdI saw this. . . vision. You and me . . . jumping out of a cab . . . like<br \/>\nwe\ufffdd just been married in Vegas. Liz looks up in shock and says that\ufffds<br \/>\nweird. Max tells her that it was like a memory flash of something that<br \/>\nreally happened. Liz looks into his eyes, she wants to tell him, she starts<br \/>\nto tell him and then Maria\ufffds song ends and the dancing stops. She lost her<br \/>\nchance.<\/p>\n<p>When they return to the suite they find a very disgruntled Valenti who is<br \/>\npissed at them for taking off without telling him. He makes Kyle and Tess<br \/>\nleave and tells the rest of them to be home the afternoon. Michael and Max<br \/>\nmake up and Michael tells Max that whoever sent them to Earth was smart<br \/>\nbecause they sent them together and as long as they stick together they\ufffdre<br \/>\ngonna make it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Annie for this: And I found something interesting.
