"Arcadia" was the fifteenth episode of the sixth season of The X-Files science-fiction television series created by Chris Carter.

[edit] Plot

Several disappearances at an idyllic planned community lead Mulder and Scully to go undercover as a married couple. However, what they soon discover is that the ruler of this small community enforced his rule with a Tulpa creature from Tibet.

[edit] Notes

  • Mulder picks the names he and Scully use undercover, Rob and Laura Petri, after the two main characters from The Dick Van Dyke Show. (Mulder insists it’s pronounced "like the dish” (Petri Dish.) Scully insists she will be picking the names for their next undercover assignment.
  • BreaXfast, the premier Washington, DC, X-files fan club has consistently voted Arcadia the #1 episode of Season 6, possibly of all time.
