Scully returns! 

After a very brief absence...but, even though she had just popped her first baby out of the oven, Gillian Anderson was anxious to get back to work.

Daniel and I discuss that, and we talk about this very good episode in general - one of the best mythology episodes, maybe THE best to date in how it displays rich character growth for Mulder and expands on his relationship with the Scully family.

It also features great scenes with Skinner and The Smoking Man... 

If I have any quibbles, maybe we could dispense with the on-the-nose depictions of Scully fighting her way back from "The Other Side." But, apart from that, this is a solid episode. And, as ever, a great talk.

Dig in.
