History Recap / TheXFilesS04E18Max

* {{Bathos}}: Scully waxing poetically about the perceived meaning of Mulder's birthday gift to her (an Apollo 11 key chain) is undercut by Mulder's final line: "I just thought it was a really cool key chain."

* BondOneLiner: Mulder has one his best at Skinner's prompting after Agent Garrett is abducted by aliens in mid-flight.

* DeadlyNosebleed: Scully has two of them, the first is when she checking on Pendrell and Frish, the second when she is being debriefed by Skinner.
* FallGuy: Frish is blamed for the plane crash.

-->'''Skinner:''' [[ExactWords They are admitting that much]]. But Sergeant Frish's story is not the one they're telling.

* MythArc: Though there is little connection to the Syndicate plotine, and Cigarette-Smoking Man is conspicuously absent, two people close to Mulder and Scully die, Scully's cancer is briefly referenced along with a possible implication that Skinner's office has been compromised. Also, the aliens seemingly working against The Conspiracy suggest they may be part of Season 5's rebel faction.

-->'''Garrett:''' [[ExplosiveDecompression Do you know what happens when a plane suddenly depressurizes at thirty-thousand feet]], Mister Mulder? ''After'' the cabin fills with fog and all light objects - anything not tied down - ''including'' your weapon, [[RealityEnsues go flying toward the breach]]?

* BondOneLiner: Mulder has one after Agent Garrett is abducted by aliens in mid-flight.
-->"He took the connecting flight."

* ExplosiveDecompression: Discussed.
-->'''Mulder:''' There's a weapon pointed at you right now. If I shoot you at this range, it wouldn't just hit you in the leg. If you so much as raise your arms off that armrest, I'm going to test that theory.
-->'''Garrett:''' What if you miss?
-->'''Mulder:''' [[BadassBoast I won't]].
-->'''Garrett:''' Do you know what happens when a plane suddenly depressurizes at thirty-thousand feet, Mister Mulder?

-->'''Scully:''' The military caused that crash.
-->'''Skinner:''' [[ExactWords They are admitting that much]]. But Frish's story isn't the one they're telling.
