So Scully and Moronica take another look-see around in the dark as Burt puts away the checkers. Looking. Looking. Moronica and Scully split up; Moronica is swiftly thereafter snatched by Wayno, who clasps his hand over his mouth. They struggle. Against all odds, no one hears them, although absolutely everything should echo in that garage. Just as it's looking like lights-out for Moronica (so to speak), the door to the stairwell bursts out and Doggett bounds out, plugging Wayno in the back. The lights come back on, miraculously, and Scully comes bounding over.
Doggett helps Moronica up. "Are you okay?" he asks. She's fine. "Why did you do it?" Moronica hisses in Wayno's face. Uncommunicative to the last, Wayno dies without a word. The girls look at Doggett, wondering how he found them. Doggett explains that he "saw something in the pattern." He realized that there were going to be nine victims, not six, and that maybe the two of them were going to end up numbers eight and nine. This is all a bit too deus ex Doggett for me, but whatever. Moving right along.
When they get back to Burt, he's gone, of course. "Where'd he go?" Scully asks. He's Burt, Scully. He's magic!
Cha cha! Cha! Cha cha cha! Cha! Cha! Cha! Over at the Hoover Building, the entire Serial Killer Task Force turns their heads to the side, seeing the six on the map of the killer's path turn into a nine. "I love you, for sentimental reasons," the soundtrack chirps.
