To make matters worse, the two finally know the truth about William being the CSM's son instead of Mulder's, their X-Files is shut down by Kersh and Skinner's fate is left unknown after he was almost run over by the CSM. But Scully is miraculously pregnant, meaning the two can start over. Tad O'Malley has finally told the world about the Spartan Virus and William's powers, with Mulder and Scully as credible sources. The CSM is finally dead, after having pulled so many strings to hide extraterrestrial truths from the public. And finally, the last shot reveals that William is still alive.

* WhamEpisode: ''And how'', since this is the fourth "My Struggle" episode and possible grand finale of the series. Mr. Y's group is entirely decimated. Kersh shuts the X-Files down for the fourth time in the series. Tad O'Malley reveals to his viewers everything about the Spartan Virus and the bloody results of William's powers in the Norfolk hotel. Monica secretly tells Mulder and Scully where William is, but later dies due to the CSM forcing her to drive towards an armed Skinner. The CSM reaches and shoots William, who disguised himself as Mulder to try and change his mind. In turn, Mulder kills the CSM with five bullets. Finally, Mulder and Scully are left reeling from the truth about William's conception, only finding solace in the latter's surprise pregnancy.

** The CSM thinks he has murdered Mulder, he turns around when someone shouts at him. It's Mulder, meaning that the man the CSM shot was actually William, who used his illusions to look like the other guy.
** After Mulder is reminding Scully that he is not a father now because of William's death, Scully convinces him otherwise by moving his hand towards her stomach, revealing she's pregnant.
