2x17 "End Game"

[wendelah1]

It's another damned Scully-in-jeopardy, Mulder to the rescue story, redeemed by Scully saving Mulder at the end WITH SCIENCE. SCIENCE WINS.

I truly love the ending, and the hostage exchange scene on the bridge is very tightly written. I remember being on the edge of my seat the first time I watched.


Writer: Frank Spotnitz
Director: Rob Bowman
Originally aired: February 17, 1995

Synopsis:
Where do I start?
Cliffhanger resolution: the Alien Bounty Hunter takes Scully hostage and forces Mulder to trade her for his sister, who turns out not to be his sister after all. He has a confrontation with his father. He finds and loses more Samantha clones. "X" gives him the coordinates for the Alien Bounty Hunter's downed UFO in the Arctic Sea, and Mulder takes off in search of his sister again. Scully chases after him. Again.

Most Memorable Quote:
X: You wanted to see me?
MULDER: How was the opera?
X: Wonderful, I've never slept better. I don't like these hasty public meetings, Agent Mulder.
MULDER: I'm sorry. I need your help.
X: It's over. The fat lady is singing.
