I decided it would be fun to go back and watch episodes of X Files 18 years after it started because they were available on Hulu+

X Files: Firewalker (s2 e9)

Summary: A half-charred, half-mad volcanologist killing his colleagues. A suspected silicon-based fungal organism effecting people. Some mention of Scully returning to work after her abduction.

Location: Pasadena, California; Mount Avalon, Oregon

Guest Actors: Bradley Whitford (West Wing); Hiro Kanagawa (Caprica)

X Files: One Breath (s2 e8)

Summary: Scully reappears … in a coma in Georgetown. (Gillian Anderson still a bit bloated from recently giving birth). The Lone Gunmen read the medical charts with a grim diagnosis. Mr. X warns Mulder to quit looking for the truth. Skinner tells CSM not to smoke in his office. Mulder confronts CSM, but gets nothing.

Location: Washington, D. C.
