Roswell, New Mexico season 4 episode 9 recap: Liz’s mindscape
Roswell, New Mexico season 4 episode 9, “Wild, Wild West,” was focused on Liz’s journey through her own mindscape. Michael Trevino, aka Kyle Valenti in the Roswell, NM universe, directed the episode and did an amazing job putting a great episode on our screens. It’s clear there was a lot of heart put into this episode and it was enjoyable to watch. So what was going on with the pod squad this time around?
After Shivani dropped the canister with the mist, it led to Liz overdosing and it was causing her body to shut down. While her friends tried to desperately to save her, she was trapped in her own mind. When Max became trapped with Liz when he tried to come with Isobel into the mindscape, it made for an even tenser situation.
On the outside, with Kyle still in Mexico, it was up to Michael to figure out how to counteract the poison that was attacking Liz. However, he was overwhelmed and still reeling from wanting to just go and save Alex.
Roswell, New Mexico season 4, episode 9 finds Liz trapped in her own mind
A talk with Rosa helped Michael to see that even if they didn’t know what to do, he didn’t need to go flying off the handle and make things worse in an attempt to fix things.
We loved seeing the growth in Michael and Rosa’s relationship. And Michael was able to figure out a way to help Liz through Max after all. Rosa called on Heath for guidance, who had been helping her in New York to work on her own powers. With the news that Dallas is missing though, Heath was worried for his friend and we wonder if he’ll be staying around to help. Plus, there might be a connection between him and Rosa.
Liz’s mindscape found her in a wild, wild west scenario, where she was fighting the version of her that she had been keeping at bay. It was the side of her that would do anything to improve the science discoveries she was making. Whether she combats her inner self is up to her.
Meanwhile, Isobel was feeling guilt over Max getting trapped inside the mindscape. She had a moving conversation with Maria and it made for a touching scene that showcased how much they were there for each other.
Later, Michael asked Maria how she was able to prevent herself from collapsing like they all had at some point. She knew that someone needed to show their strength and decided it was her turn. They both also knew it was time for them to figure out a way to get Alex, Dallas, and Bonnie back from whatever dimension they were now trapped in.
Even though we didn’t get to see Kyle physically, he did show up in Liz’s mindscape as a horse. It was symbolic of how he has always been a trusted friend and someone who was always there for her. This was a very cool way to make Kyle a part of things even if he wasn’t there physically.
This was a fun episode to watch that set up an exciting arc for Liz. With her ID seemingly in control, how will this affect the dynamics in her relationships going forward? Will Max realize that this Liz is different? But is she really? We’re excited to see how they are going to play this out!
