Betrayal Dream. Mulder knocks on the House of Death and lets himself in. It's completely furnished, but nobody's around. He walks into the kitchen and opens the fridge. For those of you who like details, Mulder's fridge contains: milk, juice, mayo, other condiments, eggs, butter, cheese and a pineapple. Oh, also lots of bags of Spitz sunflower seeds. "They can change your name but they can't change the things you love." Hey! It's Deep Throat! Dude, why weren't you in the finale? Was your ghost too busy watching Golden Girls re-runs? Anyways, Mulder's shocked to see him standing in the kitchen. "It can't be. You're dead." Deep Throat just laughs and says that he's "really relaxed." Mulder tells him that Scully saw him get shot and that he was sure DT was dead. Mulder hugs DT. Well, kind of. He's still handcuffed so he just kind of cups DT's face. DT lifts up his shirt and says "one, uh, well-placed bullet... A punctuation mark in a man's life and you get to start a whole new chapter. I'm fine, son. Aside from a little tennis elbow." Mulder's very happy to see DT. He sits down at the table and tells DT that he felt responsible for his death. DT tells him to let it go. Mulder says that he thought DT had died "for my quest." DT smiles and says "Yes, along with Scully's sister and the man you thought was your father and Duane Barry and even Scully's mysterious illness and on and on and on. You can let go of all that guilt. I'm here to tell you that you're not the hub of the universe, the cause of life and death. We -- you and I -- we're... merely puppets in a master plan. No more, no less. You've suffered enough. Now you should enjoy your life. Let me show you something. That's my wife and daughters, we live just down the street. I hope... you'll visit us for dinner. We should also get together and watch some old tapes of this show called My So-Called Life. It's a great show. Something this Brian kid says is so true: 'If you, like, analyze why certain other people end up with certain other people, it'll make you want to kill yourself.' Just something I thought you'd like to keep in mind." Later, Mulder's fallen asleep in a chair and we see an ashtray filled with sunflower seed shells.

Beach Dream. BoyWilliam is making a small UFO out of sand but the tide washes it away. He starts to cry. Mulder kneels down next to him and tells him to start over again. Mulder sweetly pats BoyWilliam's head and wipes away his tears. Uh oh. This isn't a good sign, ya'll.

Betrayal Dream. Mulder's in bed now. He's still handcuffed but he's managed to remove his hospital gown. The door opens and Mulder nervously gets out of bed. "Who's there? Who are you?" A woman wearing a long, black negligee walks into the room. Ewwwwwww. It's Diana "Love My Jugs" Fowley. "Hundreds of little joys -- to open a door and have a woman beckon you in, to have her make a fire and lay the table for you and when it's late, to feel her take you into her arms." Mulder doesn't say anything, just stands there and stares at her. She's got the keys to his handcuffs. Interesting. Diana seems like the type of lady who'd rather keep the cuffs on. Oh! Remember what CSM said about how the cuffs will come off when Mulder no longer wants to leave? The physical cuffs come off, sure. But Mulder's still trapped by Diana and her jugs. Don't buy into the lies, Mulder! By the way, the Jugs are out in full force and they're scaring me. Mulder wraps his arms around Diana and kisses her. Ewwwww. Ew. Ew. Ewwwwwwwwww!

LBO. Scully's on the phone and leaves a message on Teena Mulder's answering machine. Scully looks really good. Her hair is like, bouncy and curling a little at the ends. And she looks really young here, too. A mail carrier brings her an Interdepartmental Envelope. I use those same exact envelopes at work all the time. So, I'm taking that as a huge Shout Out to me. Inside the envelope is a book "Native American Beliefs and Practices." The writing at the top matches some symbols from one of the spacecraft rubbings. Inside the book, Scully turns to a chapter about the vanishing Anasazi, myth, the Apocalypse and the Sixth Extinction. She calls Skinner and asks him if he sent her the book. Skinner's like, "I told you to leave me out of it." Scully tells him that the book explains everything. How "they" took Mulder because they think his illness is a gift, "protection against the coming plague." Skinner hangs up on her. Nice. Scully high tails it up to Skinner's offce, blows past Arlene and walks in on Skinner bent over in pain at his desk and some dude with long gray hair running from the office. Ok, we all know it's Krycek. But why is he wearing a wig? He had no problem going into the FBI in Biogenesis without a disguise. Why can't I figure him out? What the heck is he up to? Scully quickly checks on Skinner to make sure he's not hurt too bad, tells Arlene to "get on the phone" and then chases Krycek down the hall. We see him put the Palm Pilot of Death back into his pocket as he pulls the fire alarm. Scully runs into a crowd of people now in the hallway. Foiled!
