LBO. Close shot of the "I Want to Believe" poster. Do you get it? No, really. Do you? Because I think the statement that this episode made about the imagina3t6[9-36 . Whoops. Lost consciousness from the boredom again. Last time this week, promise! Gabe reads the poster out loud, to make sure that the illiterate members of the viewing audience Get It. "So, this is where the magic happened, huh?" Gabe wonders. "It still happens," Leyla breathes reverently. "I'm happy it's in good hands. As all of the people watching right now, all seven of them, should be." Scully rolls her eyes in the kids' direction. She looks smoking hot in this scene, all fluffy red hair and dark pinstriped suit. Doggett and Moronica stroll in, as Gabe shares that Leyla is now obsessed with Doggett. "As everyone now watching ought to be, as well," he adds stiffly, looking in the camera. Earth to 1013: those of us still watching are already either on the Doggett Train, or never will be. So go back to the writers' room and don't come out until you figure out the goddamn mytharc, and then we'll talk. Leyla commends Doggett for solving the case and saving their lives. "I have to say, it's clear to me that you were better equipped for this challenge than even Agent Mulder would have been," she twitters. Doggett rolls his eyes. "Your lack of imagination saved our lives," Leyla tells him. "Gee, thanks," Doggett retorts. "That didn't come out right," Leyla mutters. Scully wonders what happened to Evil Tommy. Moronica tells her that they just returned from "the psych center," and the team of doctors assembled to disassemble the brat's brain was totally flummoxed. So they've instituted a "stopgap treatment -- a way to stifle his imagination."

Cut to Tommy in the institution, all set up in a comfy-looking leather chair, riveted by a wall of television sets. Because TV rots your brain, I guess. I don't know, though. Sitting in a recliner all day long watching the tube sounds pretty sweet to me. Add a massage in there and maybe some nice smoked Gouda, and I am in!
