What is a caldera?
- Do you know?
- Of course, I know.
- I'm a science teacher.
- Great!
- Tell me.
- No, you tell me.
I'm sorry.
That's not a good enough answer.

Dr. Vanderspeigle. Hi.
Where is your son?
He is right over there,

Of course, he did.

We were just about to see

Yeah, I was pretty sure
he stole it all along.
Yeah, me too. Are we bad parents?
We're not great.

Gravity.
The scrawny Greys cannot survive
in Earth's gravity.
This is what they want...
not to destroy the Earth,
but to change its atmosphere
and gravitational pull
so only they can survive
and have it to themselves.
That faint one there is Mars,
the god of w*r.
And over there is Venus,
the gentle goddess of fertility.
Wow.

That's a terrifying dream.
Not a dream. Remember?
Liv said she saw a UFO that night.
The Greys were there.
- They took Ben.
- Oh.
I don't think
I was supposed to remember,
but maybe something Harry said
made the memory come back somehow.
I don't...
- Oh, my God, that's horrible.
- I know.
And what did I do? Nothing.
You were ten.
And you didn't even remember
until now.
It doesn't matter.
I should have known.
I've been so focused on my own sh*t
that I can't even see when
one of my friends needs help.
You know, Harry was right.
You heard him.
I'm just a selfish assh*le
who only thinks about myself.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah, no, I heard him. I was there.
Yeah, but you have to agree.
Otherwise, you would have
said "no," not "yeah."
I disagree, OK? Harry was just mad.
I mean, he said
that I only help people
so they'll love me. That's bullshit.
- Yeah, I know.
- What was that?
- What was what?
- You hesitated.
- Did not.
- You did.
I'm a nurse, OK? I help people.
- So sorry.
- OK, stop. Stop.
The plan was to break up
him and Heather, not us.
Right, I'm sorry. Yes. Sorry.
Look, if I don't tell Ben,
then Harry will definitely
be right about me.
You cannot tell him.
I wasn't there for him then,
but I could be there
- for him now.
- You cannot tell him.
He has a family, a life.
He's happy, for Ben, anyway.
And if you tell him,
it could possibly...
Help him?
Ruin his life.
Sometimes when we try to help people,
it's not really for them.
Here's your order, Asta.
- Oh, thanks, Kim.
- You're welcome.
Jay asked me to get her some dinner.
- I am her mother.
- I know!
Get that look off your face.
- But... wha...
- Ah.

Hey, buddy.
Hey. What's going on?
Nothing, just in the neighborhood.
I thought I'd drop by.
Just a friend checking on her friend.
- Yeah, how are you doing?
- Yeah, fine.
It feels like maybe this
could have been a phone call.
Ah.
You know who shows up in person?
Real friends do.
That's who.
I thought I'd throw this out there.
If you, Kate, ever want,
like, a date night,
I'm here for you.
I could come over and babysit.
Well, the last time you babysat,
I found an empty wine bottle
in the bathtub.
Doesn't need to be babysitting.
Could be anything, really.

Did you say something about camping?
- No.
- Weird.
Could have sworn you did.
Huh.
You remember those camping trips
we used to take up on the ridge?

And that time we were kids,

Yeah, sort of.
But there wasn't anything.

I can play this game all night.

if something did happen
and you were forced to forget it?
You know, like, abducted by aliens.
Oh, wow.
You wouldn't even know about it.
Yeah, yeah.
That would be pretty weird.
But you were abducted
by aliens that night.
Or were you? Just kidding.
But you were.
And I wasn't there for you then,
but I'm here for you now.
I'm sorry, do you...
are you being serious?

I was abducted by aliens?

I can't tell you how I know,
