CSM's Office. Spender walks in and sits down next to CSM. He tells CSM that he's done just as he was told and had Mulder written up. He and Scully should be out of the FBI in no time. Now he would like CSM to do something for him because he thinks he's entitled to the truth about his mother. "She won't tell me. She'll only tell Mulder. I'm SO sick of Mulder! He's all anybody talks about. 'Hey, Spooky! Wanna go shoot some hoops?' 'That Mulder may be crazy but he sure is a genius!' 'His partner is SO hot! I bet they're doing it. Why else would someone like her have stayed down in the basement? Mulder's gotta be an animal in the sack!' Even Diana is all "Mulder this" and "Mulder that"! I can't stand it!" CSM tells Spender to take a chill pill and says that his mother won't tell him because he won't believe her. Maybe it's better he doesn't know. "I need to know!" CSM tells him that he needs to prove he's capable of handling the truth. "Don't try me, old man." Uh oh. CSM stands up and slaps Spender across the face. That's gotta hurt the pride a little. CSM tells him that he gave him position and responsibility, the things he couldn't get for himself and he can't do the job! Spender says that keeping Mulder down isn't a job, it's CSM's dirty work! Slaaaaaaaaaaaap Part Deux. "You pale to Fox Mulder." Ooh, somebody get Spender some aloe because that was a burn. CSM leaves the room and then Spender books an appointment with Dr. Melfi to work out his Mulder issues.

Gym Basketball Court. Special Agent Fox "Can You Dig It?" Mulder is shooting hoops by himself. Scully walks in carrying a box. I love the fact that Scully pretty much knows where to find Mulder at any given time. Anyways, she bets that Mulder is curious about " C.G.B." Mulder's still dribbling. "C.G.B. Spender -- Cigarette Smoking Man? You know, your arch-nemesis? Are you interested or not?" Mulder keeps dribbling, asks what the initials stand for and then shoots a basket. Scully says that it's an alias and probably one of hundreds. "Scully, you want to go one-on-one? We got nothing but time now that we're on administrative leave." I think Scully may be up for some one-on-one, but only after Diana is dead and out of the way. Anyways, Scully asks him if he's curious about what she's got in the box. "I'm more curious about what you've got in your pants." Not really. But you know he was thinking it. Scully dug up everything she could find on him. Mulder tells her that none of it would be accurate or credible and then he shoots another basket. Scully shows him an old picture of Bill Mulder and CSM, apparently arguing in some field. Scully tells him that it was taken in 1973 and they worked together for 25 years in the State Department. "There's more, if you're ready." Mulder nods and appears to be bracing himself. Scully tells him that Cassandra was telling the truth about being his ex-wife and that the first time she was abducted was on November 27, 1973, the same night as Samantha. Scully also tells him that there were doctors' names connected with CSM and Bill Mulder, including Openshaw. Mulder looks surprised. "The project is still going on." Sidebar: Doesn't he know this already? I mean, WE know it. Doesn't he? Did he or did he not see hybrid bodies in tanks of green-ish water in some government storage facility? Which brings up something else. Cassandra is the first successful alien/human hybrid? But what about the Samantha clones and the Kurt Crawfords? Or Emily? Or those bald doctors who were being killed off by the ABH in Colony? Weren't they hybrids? Why weren't they called "successful"? Did they have cavities or something?

Office of CSM: Cruel Scoop of Malignity. He's still at it. "If Mulder hadn't known of his father's history" blah "fueled now with names and dates" blee "I couldn't stop him" blah blee blee "truth was out there fatally exposed" blee blah blah "one last hope" blee "preserve my legacy" blah dee frickin' dah. ["Charles Scullycakes." - raceguy]

Downtown Washington. Spender's waiting on the corner. Is he turning tricks? A dark car pulls up. Oh, my God! He is. Oh, wait. It's CSM. Nevermind. Spender's been waiting on the corner, just like his daddy asked and asks CSM if he has a new job for him. CSM says that maybe he was harsh and that he'd like to give Spender a chance. He then gives Spender the Alien Ice Pick. There's probably a name for it somewhere, but I don't feel like searching through the fandom to find it. ["Plam. I need a life. Spender, teach ME how to turn tricks." - raceguy]

But you know what I'm talking about. The weapon Mulder found in the lamp and you stab it in the back of the aliens' necks so that they'll die. But sometimes they don't. So I guess it's hit or miss. Anyways, CSM tells Spender that an enemy has infiltrated their group and he's disguising himself as Pete. Spender has to kill him with the AIP by stabbing the back of his neck. Spender gets into the back seat and we see that Krycek's the driver. Mmm. Yummy. ["Gets distracted by thought of Krycek, drools on printout of recap, has to print another one." - raceguy] Ok, sorry. Anyways, Spender opens the AIP and Krycek snaps for Spender to watch where he points it. I'm sorry, but is Krycek an alien? Or does he just not want to be poked? Well, I really don't think he's an alien. So, maybe he's gotten stabbed with one of those things before and it hurt really bad.
