GMH. Skinner and KR have set up some small computer/TV monitors at the foot of Mulder's bed. On the monitors, several pictures zoom by. Including one of a UFO. KR explains to Mulder that this is "like a card trick. You tap the monitor where the saucer image appears when it appears or when you think it does." Mulder attempts to make a joke. "Who ya gonna call?" Oh, dear. Are there ghosts in the room? Is Mulder seeing Walk Ins? That was one lame joke, my friend. I hope Scully's working on that cure. Mulder's first attempt at tapping the monitors when the UFO pops up isn't so good. "But I see them in my head." Skinner wants to try it again, but faster this time. KR puts it at full speed and Mulder begins tapping the monitors so fast, he's tapping before the UFO even appears on screen. KR is amazed.

Ivory Coast. CDB has finally fallen asleep. But then that sack under the table starts moving and he wakes up. It was filled with dead fish and now they're alive. As he's picking up the fish and basically celebrating the fact that the ship brought them back to life, Scully takes a chair and bashes CDB in the head. Again, Scully. A gun would've been useful in this type of situation. Scully and Amina run for the jeep and take off. They're going for the police. While driving, Scully sees Rafiki in the road and yells for Amina to stop. Once they've stopped, Rafiki has disappeared again. Don't you hate it when that happens? Scully looks around and suddenly Rafiki is sitting where Amina was. "Some truths are not for you," he says. He reaches out and touches Scully's forehead, just over the spot where her cancerous tumor once dwelt. Scully goes kind of rigid and suddenly it's Amina tapping Scully. Scully jumps, visibly shaken. Duuude, was Scully just cured there? Of her infertility? I mean, Rafiki is clearly a spirit guide. Just like Hosteen. Whoops, that comes later. Anyways, moving on. Amina tells Scully that it's a sign to give up. Scully wants to go back. Amina doesn't want to go back to the beach. Scully tells her that she's going home. But how does she get those rubbings? She's got all those rubbings down in the X-File office, as we saw in Provenance. She doesn't go back to the beach to retrieve them? Continuity is a harsh mistress. Ok, well maybe Amina mailed them to her.

GMH. Mulder's gone back to the drooling and blank stares. Skinner and KR are attempting to break him out of the ward. They bicker about KR's intentions. KR wants to pump Mulder full of Phenytoin again. Skinner doesn't think that's a good idea and says that this has gone too far. KR asks "How far should it go?! How far would Mulder go?!" Well, he'd drill holes in his head. So I'd say pretty far. Then Diana and the Jugs appear in the room with the doctor. She's demanding to know what's going on. She tells KR to back away. She spots the syringe and the Phenytoin. Skinner tries to explain what's what, but nobody's paying attention to him. Diana orders KR to stand against the wall. The doctor wants to know how much Phenytoin Mulder was given, and then Mulder goes into seizure. They all hold on to him.

Ivory Coast. Mufasa comes to tell CDB that the jeep was taken. Then CDB kills him with Scully's trusty machete. Why? Who knows? He's crazy. At least he apologized beforehand.

Diana's Bedside Confessional. She tells Mulder that she knows what's happening to him. "I've been sitting back and watching." Yeah, that's right. Sitting around and doing nothing. And where's Scully? On the other side of the world DOING SOMETHING. Diana tells Mulder that she knows he can read her mind, that he knows she has loyalties to CSM but she has her reasons. What are those reasons? We'll never know. Then she tells Mulder that she loves him and she won't let him die. That he doesn't have to prove the alien stuff, he needs to let go. "Now we can be together." She tells him to give up his quest and settle down with her, basically. She kisses his head and walks away. Blech. Mulder turns his head and watches her leave.

FBI. Scully's back and the Jugs better run! She looks a tad disheveled. Hee. Everyone in the hallway stares at her funny. I don't think any of them have seen Agent Scully looking so out of sorts. Scully walks right past Arlene and into Skinner's office. Scully demands to know where Mulder is and wants to know if he's still at GMH. Skinner tells her that she can't get to Mulder. Scully has been on a plane for 22 hours! She's tired and hungry and desperate to see Mulder! Skinner tells her that he takes full responsibility for screwing with Mulder but he doesn't actually come out and say what he did. He only tells her that he got KR involved. Skinner then tells Scully that the doctors said that Mulder was dying. "He's not dying. He's more alive than he's ever been. He's more alive than his body can withstand and what's causing it may be extraterrestrial in origin," Scully whispers. Skinner tells her that there's nothing they can do about it. Scully has no response to this. Skinner tells her that she won't be allowed to see Mulder. "Maybe as his partner ... but not as his doctor." Scully then walks out, leaving a trail of giant eyebrows behind.

Ivory Coast. CDB's working on some papers when he hears a rumbling noise. Mufasa's corpse is missing from the tent. CDB is amazed and runs around all "He's alive!" He takes a lamp and goes to look outside. There's footprints out to the water. He starts to follow them but then turns to see Zombie!Mufasa wielding Scully's machete. Goodbye, CDB.
