Description
Brivari's increasing association with humans angers Jaddo, and when Audrey witnesses him roughing up the movie's lead actor, her jealous boyfriend, Jaddo kills her to keep her from talking. The method he uses resembles a lightning strike, but is still unusual enough to draw the notice of Nicholas, the FBI, and Roswell's Jim Valenti Sr.. Eventually Brivari falls under suspicion and has to disappear. Suspicion also falls on Atherton because of his association with "Langley", and when the FBI comes for Atherton, Brivari intervenes, revealing his true nature to his friend. Atherton vows to keep his secret and goes undercover to gather information from both the FBI and Nicholas's operatives, who descend upon Roswell in droves, having recognized the actress' death as being caused by a shapeshifter.Things come to a head when the Warders discover Courtney is a Skin. Managing to convince them that she's a member of the resistance and wants to help them, Courtney facilitates communication between the resistance and the Warders. The resistance wants custody of some of the hybrids. When Malik is captured by Nicholas and commits suicide to prevent Nicholas from reading his mind, Jaddo goes behind Brivari's back and gives 2 sets of hybrids to the resistance for safekeeping, retaining the set with the Zan hybrid which bears the royal mark (seal) in the pod chamber. One of the sets given to the Skins is captured and the resistance is revealed; Courtney's father, Michael, commits suicide to prevent Nicholas from learning more from him, but Courtney manages to escape. The second set of hybrids is lost in New York City when the operative assigned to them is executed before she can reveal where they're hidden.
