While driving on patrol, they accidentally hit something. They discover a strange metallic orb that acts as a highlydestructive weapon, and deduce that it is of alien origin. Meanwhile, several more townspeople are mysteriously killed. The watch responds to the murders and encounters an alien, which attacks them. Evan apparently kills it with a lawn gnome before the group returns with the creature to Bobs house. The creature regains consciousness and escapes, stealing the metallic orb and warning them that the aliens have already infiltrated the town. The watch theorizes that the aliens are stealing their victims skin and disguising themselves as humans, so anyone in Glenview could be an alien. Bob confides to Evan that he is worried about his daughter Chelsea Erin Moriarty, and does not trust her boyfriend Jason Nicholas Braun. Evan admits that he has been avoiding his wife Abby Rosemarie DeWitt because he is infertile, and revealing that to her may cause her to leave. ........
