Resident Alien

After crash landing on Earth, an alien goes into hiding in a small town in Colorado and takes on the identity of doctor Harry Vanderspeigle. However, there is a problem when a nine-year-old sees through his camouflage.

Max is taken to the clinic and learns Harry is now his doctor. Max distributes hand-drawn posters of Harry's alien form, and Harry begins plotting ways to kill Max. Feeling homesick, Harry starts gathering supplies to repair his ship.

When a fisherman finds the real Harry's foot in the lake, he tampers with evidence to cover up his crime. Meanwhile, Kate struggles to figure out what to do about Max's extraterrestrial claims, which no one believes except for a classmate.

Harry travels to the Ute Reservation to help Asta's grandmother, and along the way, learns what it means to belong to a community.

A surprise visitor gives Harry an introduction to marriage, a stressful human institution he needs to familiarise himself with. Max learns that his parents are planning to send him to a special school.

Harry copes with jealousy when the mayor hires an annoyingly perfect new town doctor. Deputy Liv remains on the ball with her investigations, unlike the Sheriff, who makes a fool of himself.
