Most notable for its touching scenes between Mulder and Scully (filed under P for Poignant Comfort, see also Paper Hearts, Closure), in which they candidly discuss their potentially deeply cosmic relationship. This episode also offers a great performance from guest actor (and current Mrs. Glen Morgan) Kristen Kloke as the multiple personalitied monster of the week, Melissa. Cross referenced under B for Bummer Endings - The X Files does not always offer happy endings and in this case, the supernatural offered hope which could have armed Melissa against Vernon Epheisan's very human/banal force for destruction, yet she succumbed.
