Spoilers for 'Roswell, New Mexico' Season 2 Episode 3 'Good Mother'

While this episode had you crying oodles, there was one thing we're sure you noticed — the inclusion of the original Max Evans, Jason Behr himself!

'Roswell' originally aired between 1999 and 2002 and in 2018, The CW rebooted the series premiering Season 1 of 'Roswell, New Mexico' in January 2019. Jason Behr played Max Evans in the original series and was spotted in this episode during a flashback scene and fans were overjoyed.

"Did I just spy the original Max (Jason Behr) on tonight's episode #RoswellNM," tweeted a fan. Some, however, completely missed the hunk. "I just got done watching #RoswellNM & I’m reading through tweets about the episode. HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THAT WAS JASON BEHR?!?!," tweeted another fan.

We were taken back to 1947 in this episode titled 'Good Mother' where a spaceship crash brought Max Evans (Nathan Dean Parsons), Isobel Evans (Lily Cowles), and Michael Guerin (Michael Vlamis) to the town of Roswell.

The episode gave us our first glimpse of Behr as an army officer who was all set to capture the aliens that had landed on earth. "What a shot! These two had beautiful scenes tonight, and the 1947 scenes were beautifully well done. Can’t wait to see more of Jason Behr. #RoswellNM," tweeted a fan.

It seems that Behr will only be present in flashbacks, but fans, who were obsessed with the original show have no issues with that. "Also I am a complete and absolute SUCKER for any kind of easter eggs and call backs so Jason Behr is a total thrill!!!!! #RoswellNM," tweeted a fan.

"So how many more times will we see Jason Behr...oh man did that bring back so many memories. OG Max still looks good.  #RoswellNM," tweeted another fan.

While we welcomed Behr, so did the fans, and we can't wait to see more of these flashbacks. "Jason Behr hasn't acted in YEARS and makes his comeback in #RoswellNM... SERIOUSLY GUYS!! SRSLY!!!!!!," tweeted one fan.

'Roswell, New Mexico' Season 2 airs on Monday nights on The CW at 9/8c.
