"So Much for the Afterglow" is the second episode from the first season of Roswell, New Mexico. The episode picks up right where the previous episode left off. The inhabitants of the town are still reeling from the discovery that Max, Isabel, and Michael are aliens. However, instead of trying to process the new revelations, everyone is more concerned about the aftermath of the shooting that occurred at the end of the last episode.
Liz is in the hospital, recovering from her gunshot wound, and Max has been taken into custody for questioning. Michael and Isabel are doing everything they can to help Max, but their differences in opinion are causing tension between them. Michael wants to use his powers to break Max out, while Isabel thinks they need a more long-term strategy.
The relationship between Liz and Max is also up in the air. Max blames himself for what happened, and Liz is still processing the fact that the man she loves is an alien. Despite all the chaos around them, Liz and Max finally get a chance to talk and address some of their issues.
Meanwhile, Kyle, who is Liz's ex-boyfriend, is dealing with his own struggles. His father is the sheriff and is leading the investigation into the shooting. Kyle is starting to notice some unusual occurrences in Roswell and is becoming more suspicious of the town's inhabitants.
As the episode progresses, we learn more about the aliens' past. We get a glimpse into their childhood and see how difficult it was for them to blend in with the humans around them. We also learn about the government's involvement with the aliens and the lengths they are willing to go to keep their existence a secret.
