Silver Springs, Maryland. Spender walks up to Pete's house and rings the doorbell. NotPete answers and Spender tells him that CSM sent him there with a message from the group. NotPete asks if they've changed their minds about joining the rebels and then he lets Spender inside. They sit in the living room and NotPete asks what the message is. Spender holds up a piece of paper and tells him that it's a name that should mean something to NotPete. Spender gets up to hand him the paper but then "accidentally" drops it. Spender then attempts to do the Bend and Snap, except with an AIP, but NotPete catches him. Spender rips his face off to reveal the Rebel Without A Face underneath and he's pretty horrified. It's a good thing Krycek pops up from behind the chair and stabs him in the neck. Then the green stuff starts oozing out.

Mulder's Apartment Of Dead Informants And Mysterious Waterbeds. Mulder opens the door for Skinner. He thanks Skinner for coming over, even thought it's really late and he's been forbidden to have any contact with him and Scully. Skinner walks in to find Scully sitting on the couch. They told Skinner that Cassandra's life was in danger. Mulder says that her life's been in danger for 30 years but now it's different. She's in danger from the men who've conducted medical experiments on her that was once a "secret government project" and is now a "private global enterprise" to develop alien/human hybrids who will survive when aliens colonize the earth. Skinner asks him if he's got proof. Mulder says that his #1 girl Scully made all the right connections from Openshaw to his sister, his father and Spender's father. Skinner's all, "Spender's father?" Mulder tells him that's it's CSM. Scully backs that up by saying they've got evidence. Skinner is surprised. "Well, no wonder that boy's got issues. Then you believe this, Agent Scully?" Mulder says that although Scully may have a differing opinion as to the purpose of the experiments she does believe that she was experimented on when she was abducted. Skinner wants to know why Scully's life isn't in danger if Cassandra's is. Mulder says that it's because Cassandra is the final result, "the first successful alien/human hybrid." Skinner doesn't understand why her life is in danger if she's a success. Mulder astutely guesses that the men would rather kill her than allow her to expose them. Skinner says that Cassandra has a 24-hr guard. "Assigned by Agent Spender?" Is it just me, or does it seem like 1013 completely pulled this "first successful alien/human hybrid" thing out of their butts? Fully knowing that it wouldn't make a difference if this made sense or not because they were just going to destroy the conspiracy anyway? Gah.

Silver Springs, Maryland. Krycek and Spender are watching NotPete's body ooze and fizzle. Shouldn't that green stuff be poisoning them? Anyways, Krycek remarks that Spender's never seen an alien before and it's so shocking the first time and it undermines your beliefs in everything, until you come to understand. Spender is like, "What the heck are you talking about?" Then Krycek pretends to like CSM by saying what a great man he is because of the sacrifice he's made for having this knowledge. Spender would like to know about said sacrifice. Krycek's like, "Oh, you didn't know? Yeah the reason why your mom was repeatedly taken from you as a kid and the reason she's such a crazy freakshow is because the government's been experimenting on her for 25 years. Yeah, your dad is a wonderful guy. I really, really admire him. Really." Spender is shocked. "I'm protecting her so the experiments can continue?!" Krycek's like, "Duh. That's why your dad put you on the X-Files. Mulder had gotten too close to the truth and he had to be put down and controlled. Your dad knew that you'd never be as good as Mulder, so he put you on the X-Files in order to control the investigations. He knew you'd never get anywhere dopwn there and you were just used as his lackey. That's why he sent you here tonight. To kill this alien dude. It's to protect the project that completely screwed over your family. I admire him so much. Don't you? He's such a great man. You can be a great man, too." Spender grows some balls and announces that he'll be his own great man. Then he stomps out of the house and makes another appointment with Dr. Melfi: "I've got a whole new bag of issues right now. We can forget about Mulder for awhile."
