Autopsy Time! Scully and the Coroner Lady are checking out Vicky's corpse. Coroner Lady hopes Scully can explain what happened to Vicky because "this is a new one on [her]." Scully examines Vicky's head and sees that it's all blown on one side, but the other side of her head is intact. Coroner Lady tells Scully that the wound is all exit. We're then treated to some shots of Vicky's exploded ear drum. Nice. Coroner Lady says that it's like a bomb went off in Vicky's ear. Scully then gets a probe and starts poking around inside Vicky's head. Scully then babbles about "tumefaction" and "lateral sinus" and I have no idea what she's talking about. But as Scully probes around, there's an explosion and blood shoots out. For a minute I thought it was gonna hit her face. Ew. But it only got on her apron.

This portion of our program was brought to you by Awesome Autopsy Scrubs: You'll Sure Wanna Cover Yourself In Case Someone's Head Is Exploding!

Outside the jail, Crump's being loaded onto an ambulance. Mulder's following behind. The captain tells Mulder that he probably won't get to talk to Crump after all. Mulder then tries to get on the ambulance but an EMT stops him. "Five's a crowd, buddy." He then shuts the door before Mulder can tell him that one is the loneliest number. Mulder gets in his car and follows the ambulance. So the EMT's are starting to work on Crump and as the speedometer goes up to 75mph, Crump's vitals improve. The EMT's have no idea what they did to help him. I bet they were traveling west. Crump notices a gun sitting in a guard's holster. As Mulder drives, he notices the ambulance swerve and then stop on the side of the road. Crump jumps out the back of the ambulance and points a gun at Mulder. This is what you get for ambulance chasing.

Autopsy Bay. Scully calls Mulder and when some dude walks into the room she spazzes and kicks him out saying that the bay is quarantined. When Mulder picks up she tells him that she has "no idea what killed [Vicky] but [she has] to assume it's communicable." She tells Mulder that another body was found outside of Montello with the apparent same cause of death -- "some kind of massive aneurysm or rupture." Mulder's like, "uh huh." Scully tells him that she called the CDC and that Crump may be infected. So his cell should be quarantined as well as anyone who had close contact with him, including Mulder. Mulder sighs. "Well, that's going to be a little tough, Scully." Crump then grabs Mulder's phone. "Drive." Westward, my son! A little later, Scully's slams a piece of paper against the autopsy bay window with her phone number on it. For those of you who'd like to call her later, the number is 212-555-1066. Let me know if you get through. The captain calls her and she asks where Mulder is. The captain tells her that Mulder's heading, you guessed it, west. They've got constant visual contact and they've pulled some strings to keep this off FOX News. Maybe they struck a deal that FOX News could have a fair and balanced sit-down interview with Crump and everyone involved. Wait, did I just say "fair and balanced"? BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Anyways, there's going to be a roadblock to stop Crump and Scully starts spouting orders to have the CDC at the roadblock and the arresting officers to be in full contamination gear. She wants everything decontaminated, Mulder and Crump quarantined separately. "You got it." That's right. She may be tiny, but you don't wanna screw with her. You know, having a baby and living without Mulder sure turned her into a weak, weepy mess. But remember that one moment in Season 9 when she was punching that rogue FBI dude and screaming and breaking down the nursery door and then totally shot him, like, three times? That was awesome. So, this officer comes up to the captain and whispers sweet nothings in his ear. Then the captain tells Scully that if they don't pull back the police escort, Crump's going to shoot Mulder.
