We&#8217;re not refering to the show&#8217;s life-saving move to UPN, but the May 21 episode&#8217;s jaw-dropping revelation that &#8220;innocent&#8221; human\/alien hybrid Tess was a cold-minded killer. The show&#8217;s creator and exacutive producer, Jason Katims, wrote this truly fantastic season (not series) finale.<\/p>\n<p>Just when the sci-fi soap was becoming down-to-earth&#8211;with a romantic prom and Liz&#8217;s obsessive investigation into Alex&#8217;s mysterious death&#8211;the four hybrid teens were forced to begin the process that would return them to their homeworld. During their 24 pre-flight hours, Michael (a better-than-ever Brendan Fehr) finally opened upin every way to his girlfriend, Maria; Isabe&#8217;s last glance at her bedroom spoke volumes about her enormous regret; Max&#8217;s iron resolved crumbled in his tears over losing Liz for good; and Tess had a touching farewell with he &#8220;Dad,&#8221; Jim, and &#8220;brother,&#8221; Kyle.<\/p>\n<p>Then the truth exploded. As Tess&#8217; mental hold on Alex weakened, he painfully recalled a scene viewers never saw or suspected: his mindlessly helping Tess dispose of Alex&#8217;s body after she mind-warped poor Alex&#8211;a threat to her devious plans&#8211;one time too many. This shocker-and-a-half brought Liz, Maria and Kyle to their friends&#8217; take-off point, where the seething Max sent Tess (prgnant with his child) home alone, and declared his next goal was to save his son. September can&#8217;t land fast enough.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Olga for this :) An article for on Roswell in Soap Opera Weekly.&#8212;&#8212;Issue 24, June 12, 2001 Is<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-1971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-roswell"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1971"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1971\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1971"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
