"Ascension" was the sixth episode of the second season of The X-Files science-fiction television series created by Chris Carter.
[edit] Plot
In a follow-up from the previous episode Agent Fox Mulder races to Agent Dana Scully's house after listening to the recording of her attack on his answering machine. Duane Barry has kidnapped Scully, determined to offer her to the aliens in his place. We learn that Agent Alex Krycek is working for The Cigarette Smoking Man, and, as Mulder is involved in a high speed pursuit in a cable car, Krycek attempts to kill him to prevent him from rescuing his partner. Duane Barry is successful in handing Scully to his abducters, but later dies in the hospital from asphyxiation, a death for which Mulder is briefly held accountable.
[edit] Trivia
- Agent Scully conveniently appears to be pregnant (during a vision of her being abducted) in this episode. Anderson gave birth to her daughter, Piper, on 9/25/1994. A keen viewer would also notice that sequences featuring Anderson were very limited recently in the show.
