Cassandra walks into a storage room, with Scully coming in behind her and shutting the door. Mulder peeks around a shelf. Cassandra is so excited she thinks she might pee the floor. Mulder just sort of laughs nervously and tells her not to do that. She gives him a hug. Mulder is amazed that Cassandra can walk. "I told you about their power. You said you didn't believe it." Mulder had his reasons to doubt that alien bologna then because he was in the middle of his Season 5 Crisis Of Faith and he was consumed with guilt over Scully's cancer. "You just doubted yourself," Cassandra tells him kindly. "You were just doubting you'd ever see her again, weren't you?" Mulder looks at Scully. I think he thought Cassandra was talking about her. Right? Because when Cassandra was taken, Scully was with her. Does that make sense? Well, in my head it does. And that's all that matters. Then Cassandra tells him that she meant his sister. Scully tells Cassandra that Mulder saw his sister in Redux II. That Samantha was fake. Well, of course she was. You'd think Mulder would've figured that out by now. But he always believes CSM. Even though a certain dead informant told him to "trust no one." Mulder asks Cassandra where his sister is. Oh, man. Cassandra says that she's "up there" with the aliens. Oh, really? She's "up there"? So Cassandra saw Samantha running around in the starlight? That's interesting. Scully asks Cassandra about the doctors and she says that it was the aliens who cured her. She's all, "Remember last year when I said that I was the Southern Oracle and I had to help Atreyu find out the reason the Childlike Empress was dying? Well, I was wrong. The aliens don't love us after all. They're going to wipe us off the planet with a virus called the Nothing and then Bastian will never be able to give the Empress a new name." Mulder translates and tells Scully that she means the black oil. Scully asks about the burned doctors and Cassandra tells them the rebel aliens are behind that. They've mutilated their faces so they won't be infected with the virus. All it takes to have the virus infect you is open orifices? Then why did those black oil worms squirm into that boy's feet in Fight the Future? So if your eyes, nose and mouth are sewn shut the oil takes no effect? Well that's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The greys must not be that smart if that's the best they could come up with. Scully asks Cassandra why she couldn't tell Spender. Apparently, Spender's life is in danger from the rebel aliens because he's in on the conspiracy with the same men who experimented on her and Scully. Mulder asks her if she knows the men. One of them is her ex-husband.

Office of CSM: Clamorous Saga of Mordancy. The conversation continues: "Cassandra was beginning to realize" blah "the key to all of our plans" blee "it's Cassandra I should've killed" blee blah "I couldn't kill the mother of my own son" blah blee "my colleagues never knew" blah blee blah "rebels already held the upper hand" blee blah blee "infiltrate our group" blahbity blah blah blah blaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh. ["Spendercakes." - raceguy]

Syndicate Office in NYC. Alex "Ratboy" Krycek is in da house! ["Holla!" - raceguy] Apparently, he's back under the Syndicate's thumb. Or maybe it's the other way around. I really don't think they want him running loose. He knows too much. Krycek is showing the elders slides of the burn victims. He and Mulder both rock projection screens? That's interesting. Krycek's fake arm is holding a piece of paper. Krycek is telling the men that the Rebels Without Faces destroyed their project facilities in the Southwest and their medical staff in Arizona are all dead. Dr. Openshaw's death won't help the alien/human hybrid work. First Elder, let's call him Doug, wants to know what the rebels want. CSM says they want to expose the Syndicate. Third Elder, let's call him Rocko, thinks that some "hot-shot reporter" or law enforcement will put the pieces together. CSM says that they have control over the federal agencies and that "their new man at the FBI", Spender, can divert attention. NotPete says that maybe they should side with the rebels. CSM stares at NotPete. Doug thinks it's an option. Krycek then babbles about "resistence is futile" blah "you voted against men like Bill Mulder" blee "stall colonization" blah blee "developing an alien/human hybrid" blah blee blah "ensures your survival" blah. ["Syndicatecakes. SyndiCakes?" - raceguy] "As slave laborers for the aliens," NotPete says. CSM and Krycek eye NotPete suspiciously. Krycek then blows the lid on their secret work on a vaccine. CSM: "Shut your piehole, Alex!" CSM then tells NotPete that they've been working on this for 50 years, since Roswell. WE KNOW! Is anything new going to be revealed here? You're just going to rehash everything? CSM then says that they can't sacrifice themselves for every new threat.

Basement Office That Was Once Lush But Now Has Agent Spender's And Diana's Name On The Door Even Though Scully Never Got Her Name On The Door In The Six Years She Was Down There And If Diana Has Her Very Own Desk I Really Will Kill Myself. So our heroes break into the office and head on over to their old desk. I don't see another desk in there, so I think I'll be fine. Mulder sits down at the computer and looks for "Spender" in the information directory. Special Agent Dana "Smart Is Sexy" Scully asks Mulder why they should risk getting caught there and Mulder says that their own computers will be monitored, they have to access files and they've got a "name that'll raise flags." Two people come up on the screen, with pictures. "Spender, Jeffrey #10487: Severe abandonment issues and an inferiority complex" ["Oh. So he's seen Mulder naked, too? Am I the only person alive who hasn't?" - raceguy] and "Spender, Cassandra #53934: Claimed of being continuously abducted by aliens, of being the Southern Oracle and is afraid of being sucked into the Nothing." Scully thinks it's possible that the crazy freakshow Cassandra was making up that crap about her ex-husband. Mulder types something on the computer and then we see CSM's picture, "Spender, C.G.B." and there's no information available. Mulder and Scully exchange a look and Mulder says "Smokey's got a name." WE KNOW! Haven't we known forever that CSM was Spender's dad? From last season at least? Enter the Skinman (That's the name of my new band, by the way). He tells them to shut off the computer and hand over anything they printed out. "Let's go, Agents. They're coming." Mulder and Scully get up and they move out into the hall to be greeted by Spender and his Posse of Random Agents. Who are all probably in love with Scully. I mean, come on. Who wouldn't be? Every guy in that building is at least infatuated with her. ["Either her or her adorable haircuit and pantsuit combo." - <i>raceguy</i>] Probably some girls, too. Spender tells Skinner that he assumed he came down to apprehend Mulder and Scully for breaking into his office. He'll make note of it in the report of their dismissal. Skinner: "..." Mulder: "..." Scully: "..."
