Car With A Fowl Stench. Diana's in mid-exposit of her explanation of how her and Spender came out to Arizona. She tells Mulder that they got a phone call and came out immediately. NRC got to the plant first and removed the body before her and Spender could see it. Mulder wants to know who removed the body. Diana doesn't know and she couldn't get a straight answer. NRC closed off blah "number four reactor" blee "problem" blah blee "heat transfer systems" blahbity blee blee. Mulder guesses that the alien needs heat so that's why it's at the nuclear plant. He comments on the abnormally fast gestation and guesses that heat activates it. Mulder then wonders why the alien still needs heat. Diana says that maybe it's still developing. "You're not under the impression what we're looking for makes sense in any conventional way?" she asks. Nothing on this show makes sense in a conventional way. Mulder looks kind of surprised, and maybe a little pleased, to have someone agree with him. And I'd really like to punch him. Hard.

Phoenix Samaritan Medical Center . Gibson's being wheeled around on a gurney and Scully tells him that he's going to be ok. Gibson accuses Scully of running more tests on him. Scully tells him that they're going to make him well. Gibson continues to call her out, saying that she may say that she just wants to care for him but she's just like the other doctors who run tests on him. Scully seems kind of sorry that they have to run more tests. "You want to make me well but you're just thinking about yourself and what you can learn from me." The orderlies place Gibson on a hospital bed. Scully tells Gibson that he's a "very special boy." Gibson isn't very happy. "I'm a very special lab rat." Scully looks guilty, as the orderlies close the curtain. Ok, I do feel sorry for Gibson. He's the victim here, and all people want to do is use him. But on the other hand, he was just in the possession of CSM and you'd think he'd be a little more grateful that he's now with Scully.

Nuclear Plant Of Alien Slime. Mulder and Diana Fowley are running around, searching the area where Homer Simpson was killed. Diana says that she thinks the body was found around here. Mulder comments on the hot room temperature. Diana blah blahs about how they're near the broken heat transfer system. Mulder steps in a puddle of alien goop. Diana says that it looks organic. And Mulder fingers the goop and cracks that "somebody's got the flu." But this time he doesn't betray his manly exterior by freaking out over the slime. Which I would've done. That is, if I had a manly exterior. So they follow the goop into some pipes, Mulder sees some goopy stuff and just reaches on in there. He grabs something squishy and then jerks back. Does Mulder have selective amnesia? Why would he use his bare hands to grab something he knows is dangerous? Mulder then reaches back in and grabs a huge piece of alien gooey skin. Gross. Mulder drops it on the floor. Um, Mulder? Now's the time to break off a piece of that and shove it in your pocket so Scully can examine it later. But hey, we've already established that your actions in this episode make no sense. So just go ahead and leave it on the floor. Mulder's cell phone rings and it scares him and Diana. Heh. That's right. They better be scared. It's Scully calling to check up on her boyfriend. "Mulder, I found something. I found something you're not going to believe." Mulder dittos. "We did blood tests on Gibson and, Mulder, there's evidence of the virus in his system." Mulder asks about the virus Scully was infected with. Scully is positive that they're one in the same. Mulder wants to know what that means. "I don't know, but I think we're on to something. We're on to something huge -- a link." Mulder, apparently a poker player, calls that bet and raises her. Scully wants to know what he means. Mulder just tells her to take care of Gibson. Famous last words. Then Mulder hangs up before Scully can ask him anything about that woman.

Phoenix Hospital of Piss-Poor Security And Neglectful FBI Agents. Scully, who was wandering around the hospital instead of staying right next to Gibson's room, walks into said room and guess what? He's gone. That's a shocker. Scully starts yelling at the staff, because it was clearly their fault. "There was a little boy in that room and he's gone. Does anybody know what happened to that little boy? His name is Gibson Praise. He was just in that room. Does anybody know what the hell is going on?!" Then one of the orderlies, or maybe he's a doctor, tells Scully to calm down. Hey! It's Benito Martinez. He plays Captain David on The Shield. He's pretty cute. So Scully tells David the "little boy that [she] brought in is missing." David says that he can't be missing. Scully brings out her anger dimples again. "He's not here!" Well, maybe you should've thought about that before you decided to go for a walk. You sure did ensure his safety, didn't you? I mean, every time they have something of utmost importance that they can't lose, it disappears. How is she not surprised? Anyways, CSM's driver has stolen an ambulance and Gibson's lying on a gurney in the back.
