Episode 15 of Roswell's first season is titled "Independence Day". As the title suggests, the episode is all about the celebration of Independence Day in Roswell, New Mexico. The episode starts off with the town preparing for the Fourth of July parade, barbecue, and fireworks display. The mood is festive, and everyone is looking forward to enjoying the fun-filled day.
Max, Liz, and Maria are all working at the Crashdown Cafe. They are all a bit nervous because Isabel is still missing. They don't know where she is or what's happened to her, and they're worried she might have been taken by the FBI. As they go about their work, they realize that Isabel has left them a clue.
The clue is a photograph of Isabel and Alex taken at the prom. The photograph has a message written on the back that says, "Remember the last dance." After some Sherlock-style deduction and brainstorming, the gang realizes that the clue is about a secret room in the school where Isabel and Alex shared a dance at the end of the prom night.
The gang decides to go to the school to find the secret room. They look around and eventually find it hidden in the basement. The room is full of old files and documents, and it's clear that someone has been using it to store classified material. As they begin to search the room, they are interrupted by the school janitor, who tells them to leave immediately.
The gang leaves the room, but they don't give up on their quest to find out what's going on in there. They decide to sneak back into the school at night and break into the secret room again. This time, they are more successful in their search and find some sensitive documents that have been hidden away.
As they study the documents, they realize that the FBI is monitoring the aliens' every move. They find out that the FBI has been tracking them ever since they arrived in Roswell, and they are now planning to capture them. The news is disheartening and frightful for the gang, who are worried about their safety.
Meanwhile, Michael is getting more and more suspicious of his new foster father. He realizes that the man is hiding something, and he's determined to find out what it is. He snoops around the house and finds a locked room. He breaks into the room and finds some strange equipment hidden inside. The equipment is medical in nature, and it's clear that Mr. Whitman is up to something nefarious.
Michael becomes convinced that Mr. Whitman is working with the FBI. He decides to confront him about the medical equipment, but Mr. Whitman denies having any knowledge of it. Michael isn't convinced, and he leaves the house feeling even more paranoid than before.
As the episode progresses, tensions rise as the gang is worried about their safety.
