[edit] Trivia

  • This is one of the four episodes in The X-Files run to not feature Dana Scully, the others being "3", "Unusual Suspects" and "Travelers."
  • At 23:31 into the episode, Walter Skinner is flipping through files in Mulder's office. Only one file has a visible name tag. If you look closely it says the name Foo Fighters. It is in reference to actual foo fighters, not the band.
