[edit] Plot
At the beginning, a frozen Fox Mulder is brought to a hospital. The episode flashes back to a scene two weeks before, where the crew of a research vessel find the wreckage of a UFO in the Beaufort Sea. The pilot who survives this crash walks out of the hospital where Mulder is, and kills identical-looking doctors in various abortion clinics. A CIA agent contacts Mulder and Dana Scully, and informs them about a Russian assassin. The assassin had been dispatched to eliminate evidence of Cold War-era Russian clones who had infiltrated the American medical establishment. Walter Skinner tells Mulder that his father has called about a family emergency. When Mulder returns home, he encounters someone he does not expect. Mulder goes to Scully, and another Mulder calls her at the same time. This cliffhanger is resolved in the next episode.
