Michael is now jealous of Billy and can't control his powers and starts blowing stuff up.

There are some pretty good funny lines in this episode. One of them is when Max and Michael digs a whole to hide the alien artifacts and they have a fight about how Max put Michael's metallica discs in alphabetical order. Also when Michael learns that Maria had supper with Billy, Max tells him ''don't worry it was just food'' and Michael answers to him ''it's not just any food, it was italian food''.

There are some good links with season 2. Phil tries to find where Max's jeep is. He thinks it could explain what Max is up to, and Phil then hires a private investigator.

At the end, Isabel makes up some story about Max to stop Phil's crazy investigation. He doesn't buy it and puts Isabel on his list of conspirators.

Another moment worth noting, Majandra Delfino sings in this episode.moreless

  Maria: Sometimes I just feel like I've paid this huge price for knowing Michael and knowing these aliens. It's like... God, I didn't think I'd end up here dealing with this crap every day. I mean, I love Michael, and I do sort of love this ridiculous soap opera, but I can't take it anymore.

  Michael: Yeah, I don't know. Most likely.
  Max: I bet if it was one of your Metallica CDs, you'd know where it was.
  Michael: Hey, you wanna bring that up again? The reason I got pissed is because you put "And Justice For All" before "Master of the Puppets".
  Max: Yeah, in alphabetical order.
  Michael: They go in order of the release date.
  Max: And you don't know where your healing stone is?
  Michael: Do you still wanna sleep on my couch?
