THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF ROSA’S DEATH — The anniversary of Rosa’s death reignites tensions as the town takes aim at Liz and her father, Arturo, for what happened on that fateful day 10 years ago. Meanwhile, Max confronts Michael and Isobel, who are concerned that his feelings for Liz will expose their secret. Elsewhere, Master Sergeant Manes’ attempt to convince Kyle of the alien conspiracy in Roswell takes an unexpected turn. Finally, Liz and Kyle make a shocking revelation about Rosa’s death.

Tropes

  • Dishonored Dead: Rosa's grave is constantly vandalized all year around for the past decade she has been gone. However what's considered the worse offense is that the diner is always attacked on the anniversary of Rosa’s death, forcing Arturo to close it for safety reasons.
  • Continuity Nod: The drive by shooting from the Pilot is mentioned.
  • Irony: Wyatt bragging about the shooting to his buddies, saying he must've blown out a transformer because the lights blew out. Unknown to him he had shot and killed Liz and this triggers Max's berserk button.
  • Karma Houdini: Wyatt, since he cannot be charged for Liz's murder since she was brought back from the dead since Max was with her and beating up Arturo who cannot press charges because of his illegal status even though it's an Open Secret to his fellow neighbors such as Kyle's mom.
