- One Billion Years Ago
The universe comes into existence. An asteroid hits a smaller asteroid, and a piece breaks off and rift on.
790 Million Years Ago
One piece hits Earth.
540 Million Years Ago
The rock falls to the bottom of an ocean, and an octopus-like alien emerges grows from it.
Two Weeks Ago
The alien floats in a tank at the Patience bowling alley.
A Jeep approaches Harry in the New Mexico desert and stops just before hitting him. Isabelle gets out and asks Harry what's going on, while the Army sniper watches both of them and wonder who Isabelle is. The sniper asks if he should open fire, and David tells him not to.
Harry greets Isabelle and says that he thought she was napping. Isabelle points out that Harry slipped her sleeping pills, and explains that she faked falling asleep so she could follow Harry there. She asks why Harry drugged her, and why he's in the middle of the desert. Harry realizes that they're being watched, and tells Isabelle that he came out there because he needed space, so he took a drive, ended up in a "random place", and is enjoying the space and dirt.
Lisa and David listen in from their camper, and Isabelle tells Harry that she hopes he finds his space and leaves. Harry doesn't understand why she's going if she's "his gal", and the two agents figure it's a marital squabble. Lisa orders the sniper to shoot Harry anyway, and David gives a countermanding order.
Harry starts to drive, and figures out humans have his spaceship, know he's there, and are searching for him. He drives back to his cabin and goes inside, where he finds Isabelle packing. He says that they should talk, and he asks what she's making for dinner. Isabelle says that she's leaving him, and Harry points out that she's still there. He wants Isabelle to stay so she can make him food because he's hungry. Isabelle refuses to stay. Harry to say that he drugged her because he was trying to be kind. Isabelle asks him if he ever loved her, and Harry says "once". She thanks him for being honest for once and leaves. Harry sits down and contemplates his empty stomach.
The next day at the clinic, Asta asks Ethan if he's seen Max's file and Harry's diagnosis of "terrorphobia". Asta says that Max has never reacted like how he is before. She asks if Ethan thinks it's extreme that Harry is sending Max away, but Ethan doesn't see the problem since his parents sent him away for lacrosse. As he walks away, Asta finds Ethan's advice less than helpful.
Mike and Liv question the nurse about Jay, who says that Jay was always quiet like she was planning something. Once she microwaved a fish in the breakroom. Asta comes in, and the nurse tells her that the sheriff thinks Jay stole the prescription pad. After Asta says that Jay is innocent, Mike points out that someone calling themselves "The Pharmacist" stole a pad and probably killed Sam.
Liv points out that they're not so sure, and as Mike calls her on it Asta walks out. Mike and Liv go after her, and Mike asks who else might have done it. Asta insists that it wasn't Jay and walks away, and bumps into Ben. Once she walks around him, Ben congratulates Mike on his theory. Mike takes credit for Mike's theory, and after Ben leaves Mike asks Liv why she's acting so strange.
Harry goes out into the mountain and searches for his device. He wonders if the humans have his device as well as his spaceship, and throws himself down in the snow in frustration. Harry considers how humans deal with failure, and goes back to the cabin and takes some pills with alcohol. He starts giggling and then passes out.
Later, Harry wakes up and hears a steak sizzling. He goes to investigate and finds an imaginary human Harry cooking. Undead-Harry says that he's cooking one of the steaks Harry packed him in, refuses to make him a steak, and says that Harry is a loser. Harry insists that he's a loser, but Undead-Harry points out that he's human, and the human race has destroyed Harry. Undead-Harry stabs at Harry's throat with a knife, and Harry wakes up and Undead-Harry comes at him with a knife and tells him that he's still dreaming. Harry finally wakes up.
At their house, Ben and Kate show Max a video of the Donnelly Institute they want to send him to. When the video is done, he wonders why they hate him. Max asks if Harry called them, and Kate says that Ethan is the new doctor and he approved the paperwork. Kate says that their decision is final, and Max storms out.
Harry goes to the diner and laments being a human while looking for jobs in the newspaper. Max joins him and reminds Harry that they had a truce. Harry admits that he's not good at truces, and has a lot to do to be human. Max tells him not to have alien stuff in the back of his truck and leaves.
At the 59, Asta and D'Arcy play pool and D'Arcy wonders why Asta didn't tell the police that Jimmy stole the pad. She points out that she didn't have any proof, and D'Arcy tells her that Asta should trust her instincts. Judy calls from the bowling alley where Harry is playing a machine and refuses to leave. Judy says that Harry applied for a job but was overqualified.
Asta and D'Arcy come over, and Harry tells them that Isabelle left him and he's lost his job. He says that he's tried booze and pills, and D'Arcy suggests pot. They sit on the bowling alley, smoke pot, and then eat. A lot. Harry is still depressed but says that he doesn't care. Harry sees the octopus in the tank and goes over. The octopus calls Harry "cousin" and telepathically says that it's been waiting for him
The octopus alien says that things are getting bad for them. Harry tells it that he's failed at his mission. Asta and D'Arcy see him and figure that he's just high. Asta wonders if Harry is a sociopath.
The alien tells Harry that he has to complete his mission and help them. It realizes that Harry is high, then apologizes for putting pressure on Harry. Harry figures that Max can help him, and tells the alien not to tell any of their people that he crashed.
As Harry leaves, Asta and D'Arcy go over and study another octopus.
Max is in bed when Harry breaks in, sits on Max's bed, and steals some chips to eat. The boy wakes up, and Harry asks Max how he knew about the alien stuff in his truck since there was a blanket covering it. Max says that there was a green glow, and Harry figures that it's part of the same genetic mutation that lets Max see Harry's real form. He wants Max to help him find his device, and Max says that he's not helping Harry unless Harry gets him out of going to Donnelly. Harry agrees and asks Max to have Kate get some popcorn.
The next day at the sheriff's station, Mike sits with Cletus and tells the dog that they'll put them on 'Deadline' for solving Sam's murder. Asta comes in and tells them that Jimmy stole the pad, and Mike is thrilled that they have a lead.
Harry goes to the clinic, meets with Ethan, calls in Ben and Kate, and says that he misdiagnosed Max and the boy just has an over-active imagination. Ben is thrilled, but Kate not so much and accuses Harry of driving a wedge between her and Ben. Ben is surprised to learn that, and Ethan says that sometimes doctors--but not him--sometimes make mistakes. The couple leave and Harry goes as well.
Two Weeks Ago: New Mexico
Eleanor, Lisa, and David consider how to open the spaceship. Eleanor agrees to give David more time, but tells him not to make her regret it.
Now
Max finds Harry in the library and tells the alien that his parents aren't sending him away. Harry shows him a photo of his spaceship, but Max can't see the green glow in the photo. However, Max can see the glow on an actual piece of the spaceship, and Harry says that he'll construct something to assist Max's eyeballs. Max asks what the device does, and Harry tells him that it will kill him before correcting himself and claiming that it's a radio.
At the station, Mike interrogates Jimmy and accuses him of poisoning Sam when Sam caught Jimmy stealing the pad. Jimmy denies it, and Liv and Jimmy discuss bosses that don't listen to them. Mike interrupts and asks what Liv wants to say to him, and she tells him that someone who plans a delayed murder isn't an idiot that steals pad. She suggests that the Pharmacist only wanted to sell drugs to kids.
Mike is offended that the Pharmacist sold drugs to kids and didn't know he was doing it.
Max lets Harry into the school, and Harry wears a mustache disguise. They go to the science lab to get a radioscope, and Harry steals it, a radio, and a telescope. They start to leave but duck out of sight when Mike and Liv pass looking for the Pharmacist, a janitor named Richard Ferguson.
When they find Ferguson and Mike announces that they know his secret identity, Ferguson runs. Mike chases after him, and Liv calmly gets in front of Ferguson and trips him with a broom. She tells Mike that she used to go to the school and knows all the shortcuts, and Mike reads Ferguson his rights as he leads him off.
At the hangar, David studies an ancient races' amulet and spots a glowing green object. He tells Eleanor and Lisa that the race claimed that they got their technology from an ancient race, and then their civilization disappeared. He figures the alien who owns the spaceship came there to kill everyone.
At home, Ben makes Kate some tea as a peace offering and asks if she's feeling any better. Kate says nothing, and Ben assures her that she's a great mother. His wife doesn't believe it, and Ben lights the candled that he made to calm her. Kate asks him to tell her that she's wrong, and she needs a partner that challenges him. Ben tells Kate that she was wrong about sending Max away, and Kate smiles and kisses him. Ben says that at times Kate can be a little controlling and he continues on until she gets upset with him and walks away.
Mike goes to the diner to eat, and Liv sits down with him and tells him the paperwork is done. She's thrilled that they worked together to capture Ferguson. Mike finally tells her that her behavior was a little disrespectful because the Miranda rights are her things and she tried to take it for herself. He also doesn't think Liv has been nice to Cletus. The waitress brings Mike's to-go order over, and Liv takes it, pounds it flat, and tells Mike that he has never been respectful to. She finally tells Mike that she quits, takes the to-go with her, yells at Mike to shut up, and storms out.
Harry and Max go to the clock tower, and Harry hooks up the equipment to the telescope and centers it on the mountain. Max sees the metal that Harry showed him earlier, then looks into the telescope and looks for the device. The boy spots a green glow and Harry tracks its location. It's on the glacier, and Harry tells him to get his bag.
As they walk down the street, Asta tells D'Arcy that it doesn't feel good that she told the police about Jimmy. D'Arcy says that they stopped a high school drug ring. Harry goes out to his truck, and Max tries to stop him, saying it's too dangerous. Asta and D'Arcy overhear Max as he yells after Harry to stop, but Harry keeps driving. The two women go over to Max and Asta asks him what he was doing with Harry. Max finally tells them that Harry is going to the glacier, and then runs off.
On the glacier, Harry searches for his device and figures that when he returns to his home planet, they'll erect statues to him. He remembers that his race doesn't know how to sculpt, and figures that a true hero doesn't need statues but maybe just a plaque... and finds the device.
Max goes home, sits on his bed, and looks at the metal piece he took from Harry's bag.
Asta and D'Arcy take snowmobiles up to the glacier and spot Harry.
Harry pulls the key piece out of the device.
The piece of debris sparks and Max drops it.
At the army hangar, the lights go out and the ship activates, waves of green energy going across it. David figures that something initiated it, tracked the signal and he exclaims that he knows where the alien is.
Asta and D'Arcy pull up near Harry and tell him not to move. He says that he was just shopping for snow and they can go, just as the ice beneath him breaks and they all fall into a crevasse.
