This episode is really funny:) It's really good, and a lot of the rumors were true. Langly does "kind of" shoot Suzanne and Morris Fletcher is in it (you have to love that seen - payback!)
TEASER
Byers in a voice over tells about his frequent dream. He starts out saying who he is, and that in this dream the man for whom he was named, Kennedy, was never assassinated. As he walks up to his house, his "dream" daughters come running out to him. Outside he sees his wife, Suzanne. He says that everything in his life is perfect, he has happiness and love. However, his dream always ends the same - he loses them all. As this is said, the scene changes to the desert where Byers stands clutching a wedding ring.
ACT ONE
In Las Vegas, Byers is playing poker with some men, trying to find out about them. The one man asks Byers (who is going by a different name) something about his current project.
Langly's voice comes through Byers's earpiece telling him not to freak out. Langly types it into the computer and tells Byers to talk air conditioners.
Everyone has folded except for Byers and the one man. Byers loses $3000. The man has Byers thrown out, who realizes that the man made up the stuff that he asked him.
In the casino, Byers sees Suzanne and starts chasing after her, but he loses her.
Scully wakes up to her ringing cell phone. It's Mulder who wants her to meet him in Las Vegas. Back in the Las Vegas hotel room, the Lone Gunmen are on a computer with a voice synthesizer typing in what Mulder is saying. Scully finally agrees to come.
Byers had decided that he needed Scully's help. He didn't call Mulder because he is too high profile, his name is a common household name to those kind of people (I'm sure you've all heard how both "Mulder" and "Scully" have been said to have become household names around the world:). They've hooked Scully's cell phone up so that if she tries to call Mulder back, the line will be connected to them. Frohike keeps saying that Scully will kick their asses when she finds out that Mulder isn't there.
Some of the LGM's "geek" friends come to get Langly to go to a bar.
Byers sees Suzanne in her hotel room kissing another man. He is sure that she has been brainwashed.
Byers wants access to get into a meeting that Suzanne's in. One of his geek friends, Jimmy, tells him that he can get in. He thinks everything's a conspiracy to some government assassination.
Scully arrives and the LGM tells her that Mulder won't be able to be reached for awhile, as she hasn't been able to get a hold of him. Byers says that Mulder told them to get her up to date.
Crawling through the vents, Jimmy sees the meeting and starts recording it. Suddenly he sees their other friend, Timmy, in the meeting. He realizes that his friend is not his friend. Timmy turns around and sees him filming. Jimmy tries to crawl down the vents, but they pull him out. Timmy has him injected with something.
The Lone Gunmen and Scully find out that Jimmy ran out in front of a truck and is dead. Byers thinks that it was murder.
Frohike sneaks into Suzanne's hotel as a maintenance worker to video tape some stuff. In her vent he finds a video camera. Somebody's already been watching her. Frohike takes out the tape.
Suzanne comes in and Frohike hides in the bathroom.
After stripping in front of Frohike and getting dressed, Byers comes in to talk to her. She tells him that she is not in danger. The mysterious man, her fiancé, Grant Snow, is the one that saved her.
Frohike gets out of her room, meets Byers, and gives him the tape.
CLARK COUNTY MORGUE
Scully is performing an autopsy on Jimmy. Langly is there beside her. She asks him if he's sure that he wants to watch. He says he is, but when she pulls back the sheets, he starts to look sick. Scully starts the autopsy and asks Langly to hand her the saw. As he does, he gets sicker, and runs out ready to puke. Such sounds can be heard from the bathroom.
When Scully bends down to pick up the saw she sees the injection mark on Jimmy's neck. She is ready to check it out, when all of a sudden men come in grabbing her around the mouth and inject her with presumably the same stuff.
From the bathroom, Langly hears Scully fall. He calls to her, and when she doesn't answer he runs out to her.
Scully is lying on the floor. Langly gets her to wake up. She asks him what happened.
LANGLY (still looking kind of sick): Well, I'm thinkin' that you got a little queasy and took a header. You know, blood and guts can bother some people.
Scully just assumes he is right. He asks her if she'll be all right, and she says:
SCULLY: Sure, cutie.
She gets up and Langly asks her if she's done with the autopsy.
SCULLY: Done, done, done.
Scully starts trying to move the autopsy table that won't move.
SCULLY: How do you roll this thing?
Langly asks how Jimmy died.
LANGLY: Um, Scully? What killed him?
SCULLY: My medical opinion? Beeeeeeeep!
SCULLY claps her hands together at the beep.
Scully tries to move the autopsy table again and falls to the floor.
In the hotel room, Langly tells them that the autopsy was negatory, Jimmy "squished" himself.
FROHIKE: And where is the scrumptious Agent Scully?
LANGLY: She said she had something important to do. Man, she is seriously jetlagged.
The LGM are now watching the video of Suzanne. Suzanne suddenly comes in wanting to talk to Byers. She got in their room with the lock device Frohike left at her hotel room. Byers and Frohike leave to give them some privacy.
In the casino, the bad Jimmy comes up to Langly and Frohike, and asks Langly to go with him. They are having a "Dungeons and Dragons" game as a memorial to the other Jimmy.
Frohike hears laughing and finds Scully over with some men. You can hear them say something about "Penthouse." Frohike comes over. Scully's jacket and shirt is half open.
FROHIKE: Scully?
SCULLY: Oh, hey Hicky! Long time no see.
A man whispers to her, they want Frohike to leave.
SCULLY: No that's not nice. I like Hicky!
SCULLY runs her hand down FROHIKE's face, messing up his hair.
Of to the side is none other than Morris Fletcher, the MIB from Area 51 (see Dreamland/Dreamland II). He offers Scully a cigarette and she takes it with her mouth.
FROHIKE: You don't smoke.
SCULLY (ignoring him): But who's got a match?
All the men's lighters are suddenly in front of her.
SCULLY: Well, I just can't decide who lights my fire.
Frohike tells the men that Scully is with the FBI, and that they are committing a crime. He gets Scully up to come with him.
MORRIS: We could've been stardust.
SCULLY: Maybe next time.
Scully slaps Morris on the butt. He has a great surprised look on his face. Revenge has taken place:)
Langly gets to the room with Jimmy and inside are all the men
Back at the hotel, Byers and Suzanne are talking. She tells him what happened, and that she and Grant have been planning on releasing the truth at the end of the meeting. She had wished though that it had been Byers who had saved her.
Frohike comes in with Scully who makes really funny faces and laughing. She pinches his butt and he jumps - definitely an unfrohikelike response. It's hilarious. They've never seen Scully drunk before.
Suzanne is upset and says that Scully might not be drunk. She looks behind Scully's ear, and sure enough there is a mark where she was injected.
Suzanne injects Scully with something to counteract the drug. Scully says that it's "just a little prick." Scully then passes out and falls onto the bed.
LANGLY: Bad trip?
Suzanne says that she just needs to sleep it off. The drug was her creation. The effects it had on Scully were only temporary - it would have soon made her subjective to suggestions. Brainwashing her. Byers realizes that Jimmy probably was brainwashed to commit suicide. She says that she and her fiancé had some of the drug made to use as a defense against the men.
Byers asks her who could get a hold of it. Only she and Grant have it.
Langly comes into the meeting where Suzanne and her fiancé are. His hair is pulled back really.
Suzanne's fiancé wants to take a break from the meeting so they all do. Suzanne gets up pretending in front of her fiancé that nothing is wrong. Suddenly Langly comes up with a gun and aims at Suzanne. He shoots her more than once and she collapses. Grant is screaming.
Scully, who had been trying to get through security into the meeting, comes in after she hears the shots. She goes over to Suzanne and tells the guard to call a paramedic with her cell phone.
Byers and Frohike pick up at the hotel room, telling the guard that they will be right there.
Byers and Frohike come in, in disguise, and take Suzanne out on a stretcher.
Scully tells Grant that he needs to come with her for protection.
Scully leads him to the hotel room where he sees Suzanne standing there covered in blood. She tells them that she wants to talk to him in private, and they all leave the room.
Suzanne takes off her blouse from over her tank top. She has packets of fake blood strapped to her chest. She's really angry that he betrayed her, and she asks what he got out of it. He tells her that he got his life. He is sorry, but that they would have killed him. Of course she doesn't accept that.
Jimmy comes in, ready to shoot Suzanne. Her fiancé tells her again that he is sorry. Instead of shooting her, he shoots her fiancé first. Before he can shoot Suzanne as well, Langly comes up behind him and injects him. They are not sure what to do with him.
In the casino, Timmy is on a television. It says that he confessed to the murders. (NOTE: His last name is "Landau." A coincidence? I think not. As Mulder would say "If coincidences are just coincidences, then why do they feel so contrived?":)
In a hotel room, Scully is finally on the phone with Mulder. She asks him where he's at, telling him that she's in the hotel room in Las Vegas. He has no idea what she is talking about, and didn't call her. She realizes what happened, and says:
SCULLY: Ah, man! I'm gonna kick their asses.
Outside, Byers gives Suzanne a paper with her new identity on it. She wants him to go with her but he says that it's safer without him. She tells him that it doesn't matter because she's going public with the news. He tells her not to, that that's there job. She's done enough to help them.
Suzanne and Byers kiss before she leaves. She gives him a wedding ring and says that it had been for her fiancé, but that she wants him to have it.
Suzanne gets in the cab and drives away. Byers is left standing holding and looking at the ring like in the teaser.
Frohike and Langly get Byers to come back inside with them.
LANGLY: You know, Byers, growin' old with us ain't so bad.
FROHIKE: Oh, shut up Langly. If he really wanted to kill himself…
LANGLY: Got any quarters?
The screen fades to black.
Overall Rating : 8
*Shippy Rating: 2 (well, she does agree to just go to Las Vegas with him when she thinks it's him. And the scene with Morris makes you think of Dreamland. Every ep's gotta have something)
*Based on the Redux II scale (1-10, as Redux II being a 10 [now with Triangle being an 11, above the scale])*
