Ep 22. Green Eyes

Alien Nation season 1 episode 22, titled "Green Eyes," follows the story of Detective Francisco "Frank" Xavier's hunt for a gang responsible for the murder of his friend and fellow officer. The turf wars between the gangs of human and alien beings have intensified, with the gangs of both species engaging in deadly conflicts quite often.

As the investigation deepens, Detective Frank discovers a new drug that heightens an individual's senses and makes them invincible to any kind of injury. The drug, known as green eyes, is responsible for the rise in gang-related crimes, and its distribution is controlled by a human gang leader, Sid Beauford. The drug's key ingredient comes from the Newcomers' gland, making them the target of gangsters.

Detective Frank, joined by his alien partner, Detective George Francisco, connects the dots and uncovers a bigger picture, exposing the intricate web of lies and deceit. The duo's journey to stop the distribution of green eyes takes them to an illegal fighting tournament, where humans and Newcomers fight to the death. Frank and George put their lives on the line to stop the criminals from profiting from the selling of this dangerous drug.

During their investigations, Frank and George find themselves trying to navigate their own relationships with their respective families. Frank's son, Buck, has joined a gang and is spreading his wings into the dark world of violence, which troubles Frank deeply. Similarly, George's wife, Susan, is losing her patience with the human prejudice that seems to follow them wherever they go.

In the midst of all this turmoil, Frank and George come across a supernatural healer, who may hold the key to helping them solve their various predicaments. Meanwhile, the distribution of green eyes continues, making the criminals richer while putting the lives of innocent bystanders and Newcomers at risk.

As the story unfolds, Frank and George race against time to put an end to the drug's deadly influence and its distribution, bringing justice to the victims and ensuring their community's safety. However, in doing so, they must face off against their own biases and the prejudices of those around them, threatening to destroy the tenuous peace between the aliens and humans. Will Frank and George be able to stop the spread of green eyes and thwart the gangs, or will they fall victim to their own fears and prejudices, making things worse?
