Frances Fisher takes the soiled towel into Scully's bathroom, and tosses it into the hamper. A secretive, up-to-no-good look crosses her face, and she closes the bathroom door more tightly and starts riffling through Scully's medicine cabinet. And who among us has not opened the medicine cabinet at a strange house during a party at least once in our lives? But I've never -- hey, is that K-Y? Good going, Dana! That reminds me of a very funny story: when I was in college, my dorm room was right across from the women's restroom, which was very convenient. So, one night, I heard a loud squeal, and I stuck my head in there; it was my RA, who had accidentally spread K-Y jelly all over her toothbrush and stuck it in her mouth. Ah, good times. Anyway, where was I? Oh, right. I've never done what Frances Fisher does. She takes a bottle of prescription drugs, dumps them into the toilet, and refills the bottle with pills from an envelope in her pocket. Now, we've been talking about the color of the pills on the forums, and I know it looks like one set is white and the other is blue, but in this scene, they look pretty much the same color. I think the blue/white thing is a just a trick of the lighting. Or is it?
Zeus Genetics, Germantown, Maryland: When Your Baby Absolutely, Positively Has to Have Something Horribly Wrong With It. In the Dead Alien Babies in Jars room (that's the name of this punk band I'm starting, by the way), Dr Lev, the worst OB/GYN in the universe, is fiddling with something off-camera. The door slams open to reveal "new man" Billy Miles. In this case, it seems that "new" means both "evil" and "crazy." Lev spits at Billy to get the hell out of his Dead Alien Babies in Jars room. Billy refuses. The credits, by the way? Still scrolling past. Sit back and pour yourself some Cheetos, because I have a feeling this is going to be one long-ass recap. The credits tell me that this episode is directed by Kim Manners, which makes me happy, because she's really good. Billy strolls around the lab a bit. "I've come to verify that it's true," he says robotically. "That your work has been fruitful. I see that it has, by the abomination in your hands." The camera pans down to reveal a mewling alien baby in Lev's arms. Lev, again, tells Billy to get out. "Your work here is done," Billy announces. And then he decapitates Lev, using only his Amazing Decapitating Karate-Chopping Arm Action. Billy Miles throws gas all over Lev and the lab and torches the joint.
