Fort Marlene. Mulder walks out into the hallway and he's wearing a suit that's way too small for him. And white socks. He sees a big nurse with big gray hair down the hall. "Hello? Hello? Oh, Ma'am. These shoes? They're two sizes too small. I was wondering if I could get a ... A pair that fit, maybe?" The nurse ignores him. "Two sizes too small"? How'd he get his feet in there? A bone saw? Then he sees a blonde woman duck into a room and Mulder sort of limps after her. He enters this lab/storage room and sees the lady. Hey! It's Marita Covarrubias. She looks rough, yo. Like some chicks I've seen down in NYC, i.e. crack whores. She tells Mulder that she can't be seen with him or CSM and the Syndicate will kill her. "What have they done to you?" Mulder asks. She says she was tested on. "Like the tests on Cassandra Spender?" No, that was the hybrid program. Marita was infected with the black oil so the secret vaccine could be tested. Mulder feels sorry for her. And then they blah blah about stuff we already know. The hybrid program was in cooperation with the aliens, even though that doesn't really make sense because why would they want alien/human hybrids? Why not just wipe us off the planet? Why the dilly-dallying for 50 years? And then the vaccine was developed in secret to buy time, to develop a weapon. And then they pull that Cassandra Spender Is The First Successful Alien/Human Hybrid thing and Marita says colonization will begin if the aliens find out about her. Then Marita tells Mulder that she'll "do anything" for twenty bucks. ["Even Krycek's prosthetic arm. Going to Hell now. Quit blocking the entrance, Fouley!" - raceguy]

The Southern Oracle's Hospital Room. Spender has come to see his mom. She wants to know why she's there and he tells her that she's safe from CSM. She doesn't think Spender can do much about CSM. Spender says that he can and there won't be anymore tests on her. Aww. "You don't understand about me. The Nothing is coming, Jeffrey." Spender tells her that he does understand. "You don't understand what will happen... what will happen to you if they find me out. The Nothing is coming. You have to let me go!" Spender says that they'll just hurt her again. "Yes. You must let them. That's how the story goes. The Southern Oracle gets sucked into the Nothing. Or everyone dies. Jeffrey! Please!" Spender walks away and right by Diana, who was watching this whole scene. "We gotta get my mom on some strong meds. Maybe transfer her to some psych ward or something."

The Lone Gunmen Office Of Male FBI Agents Who Really Piss Me Off. The office buzzes and my main man Frohike unlocks a whole bunch of locks before letting Special Agent Fox "Renownedly Arrogant" Mulder in. He quips about the "latest in home security" and then Frohike says something like "you gotta get through me." Mulder then says that Scully called him and it was urgent. They walk into the office and see Scully with Langly and Byers. Scully asks Mulder to hear her out before he objects and then tells him that they found everything they could about Diana. Mulder doesn't have time for this because for someone obsessed with finding the truth, he sure doesn't mind believing the lies. Scully comes right out and tells him that Diana is "playing [him] for a fool." Mulder says that he knows her and Scully doesn't. She points out that Mulder used to know her and he doesn't anymore. Byers then pipes up and says that Diana was working in Europe for seven years in the FBI's anti-terrorism unit but Scully says there's absolutely no information about her activities. Mulder then gives a sarcastic melodramatic gasp and quips about indicting her with that information. Then Scully tells him that her travel records were purged from her FBI files but they found them in airline manifests. She was moving extensively throughout Europe and took weekly trips to Tunisia. Was Diana having an affair with Strughold? Anything's possible, I guess. She was probably the Syndicate's bicycle. Mulder asks what the purpose was for Diana's travels. Langly and Frohike tell Mulder that they took "a flyer" and found Mutual UFO Network logs. Scully tells him that Diana was going to every European MUFON chapter collecting data on female abductees. Mulder: "So she's collecting data. Big deal." Scully: "Or hiding it." Mulder tells her that she's reaching and then Scully reminds everyone about her own abduction and finding the MUFON ladies. Mulder asks if Diana is monitoring the abductees. Scully's all, "You tell me that Cassandra Spender is 'the one', the Southern Oracle. And who's got her isolated so we can't see her? Diana. Plus there's no information on her whatsoever. That doesn't ring any alarms? You tell me to 'trust no one' but you'll trust her blindly. Hello?!" Mulder says that Scully's given him no reason not to trust Diana. Hmm. Maybe his brain's been dying a lot longer than we all originally thought. Mulder and Scully then stare at each other.
