Trivia
In the new intro for season 3, most of the images of the aliens have a blue filter over them while the humans have a brown/red tone.

Goofs
When the FBI agent approaches Max at his car and pulls out his badge his hand changes from holding the bottom of the badge to holding the top from one shot to the next.

Quotes
Liz: Since I told her that you broke my heart - without any of the alien details, of course - she thinks that we should just take things slow. Just dinner, then straight home, no plans for future dates. No making out.
Max: So I suppose skinny dipping would be against the rules, too.

"Busted"

Well...I certainly did not have Max and Liz going full-on Bonnie & Clyde to hold up a convenience store in Nowhere, Utah as the way Roswell's third and final season would open.

A cleverly put together episode that is a mixture of flashbacks and present-day story threads that all come together in the end to make sense and to set up the rest of the season. There were a few surprises thrown in, and the introduction of potentially a new major character, played by a pre-CSI: Miami stardom Adam Rodriguez.

I also think it's the most we've seen Liz's parents and Max and Isabel's parents on screen. Maybe more this episode than all their previous appearances in total?
