3x04 - Jones Investigating Max’s House
After shaving that God-awful beard and getting dressed in Max's clothes (that's his coat from 2x07), Jones “studies” Max.
Eyes Max's manuscript, with it's dedication page on top which reads, "To Liz Ortecho who changed my life."
This is how Jones learns Liz's name. In 3x03 he just referred to her as "the woman who built your failing heart."
He reads Max's blood test results (which I'm still like…. He gets those now? With paper records?)
Also we get a brief partial glimpse of a photo on his desk that we've never seen before, of him and Isobel posing at the Sheriff's Department. I'm guessing it is likely his academy graduation, but again, just speculation.
The book on his desk is Die Theater Stucke. After some digging I've come to the conclusion that this is a copy of the plays of Arthur Schnitzler (in German). Schnitzler was an Austrian writer and playwright in pre-Nazi Austria. Schnitzler was known for being vocally against anti-Semitism and for writing extremely sexually explicit works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Schnitzler?wprov=sfla1
Max's sketch of the alien sword is under the book, and only when Jones sees it does he do his alien vibration thing to search the house. My guess is that he was looking for the sword but didn't find it (because it's buried outside).
Btw, we get a brief glimpse of Max's murder board behind Jones which a) doesn't have any new clues on it, and b) has Michael 100% pegged as the victim.
The contents of the safe in Max's closet: a gun, Tripp's journal, and some pieces of alien glass that don't look particularly shiny. I'm wondering if it's some of the rubble from Crash Con and if it's "dead" from Liz's "solution"?
A few scraps of paper fall out of Tripp's journal when Jones grabs it: a photo of Isobel and Noah, one of the photos of the alien symbols on the console that Max took at Crash Con, a drawing of one of the Ophiuchus symbol, and a scrap of paper with "The Alighting?" written on it. Jones has two notable reactions: a smirk at Noah's face, and kind of a dark frown at "the alighting".
