* BandageWince: Scully tends to a bad gash near Mulder's eye while he and Doggett sit at her kitchen table. They had gotten beaten up by Billy Myles, who had been recently revealed as an indestructible Super Soldier. Mulder winces and bats her hands away as she tries to clean the wound. Mulder teases her and tells her it's a good thing she gave up a career in medicine, since she has "manos de piedra" (hands of stone).
