About this Episode
No “cocoons” or old people in swimming pools here!
A note is left for Fox Mulder at a crime scene in the same style as notes left by a previous suspect Mulder had a hand in arresting. Only that man died in prison in 1989. Or did he? Mulder is convinced the suspect is alive and well, despite a death certificate on file. Scully thinks it might be a copycat or someone hired to do his bidding. Or maybe it’s just aliens…
Or both…? Will we ever get the option of both…?
