"Jump the Shark" is both the fifteenth episode of the ninth season of The X-Files and the fourteenth episode of The Lone Gunmen.
[edit] Plot
When Morris Fletcher approaches the agents with information related to the supersoldiers, they turn to the Lone Gunmen, but the Gunmen and Jimmy Bond are already knee-deep in a bio-terrorist’s plot to release a deadly toxin and his links to the mysterious Yves.
[edit] Trivia
- This episode serves as the series finale for the cancelled X-Files spin-off The Lone Gunmen and uses the title sequences from both shows.
- The episode title is a humourous reference to the phrase "jumping the shark", which is used to describe shows that have reached their peak and started to decline in quality.
