Roswell, New Mexico recap: The fourth alien revealed, what’s next?
By Mads Lennon
At the UFO Emporium gala the identity of the fourth alien is finally revealed. With two episodes remaining what’s next for Roswell, New Mexico?
No dance can go off without a hitch on The CW. Evening galas and formal fundraisers are the heavyweight champs in playing the backdrop for jaw-dropping revelations and surprises. Roswell, New Mexico follows that pattern with gusto on this week’s episode.
The grand re-opening of the UFO Emporium – a celebratory night complete with gorgeous ladies in stunning gowns – is interrupted by foul play from the mysterious fourth alien who has been serial killing his way through Roswell for years now.
Just who is this extraterrestrial interloper? None other than Isobel’s supposedly unassuming husband Noah. For most fans of the show, this won’t be much of a shock. All the pieces were lined up and there really haven’t been any other likely suspects.

This episode toys with the idea of Maria being the main villain, and it warmed my heart to see Michael and Liz immediately come to her defense, but ultimately Maria just wound up being another pawn in Noah’s master plan.
He possesses Maria so she can drug Michael with some strange alien pollen (I guess it’s their version of Kryptonite?) and trap him and Max in Michael’s underground lair and try to steal Liz’s serum.
Ultimately, the gang realizes Maria was probably not the real culprit and Cam uses some cool date-rape-drug-detecting nail polish to prove Maria was indeed, drugged.
By episode’s end, Noah has been apprehended through the combined efforts of Max, Cam, and Liz – though not before he beats up Max in Isobel’s body.
