As near as I can figure, 1013 hasn't really decided who is going to be Doggett's partner. They tried Agent Reyes and another woman, Agent Harrison. I read that Gillian Anderson is signed on for another season, but for all I know she might get promoted to be another Assistant Director and not be Doggett's Partner (now that she doesn't have that 180 lb. albatross around her neck... :<7......?)

Perhaps on my other page, in a future "Mulder And Scully" story, Scully will be lured back to the FBI by being offered a job as Assistant Director of the sector that contains the X-Files. She would get to make John Doggett's life miserable, that is, until she needs him desperately again.

Meanwhile, just like in the other Myth-Arc, Billy Miles just sort of wanders off out of the hospital with that manic look in his eyes...I've decided the actor that plays him is my favorite for the season :<) In this Myth-Arc, though, he could care less about Scully, or her baby. He becomes a Motivational Speaker.

Also in the next story, Mulder, of course, doesn't get buried alive and give Jesus a run for the money. Skinner rushes in to the morgue just as the local medical examiner is about to make the "y" incision on Mulder. "He moved!" yells Skinner, and they begin to rush around, ordering a guerney, and some bags of this an' that to pump into him. Scully, who has asked to be present to make sure no alien evidence is taken away, gives Mulder a big hug right there on the slab.

When Mulder recovers, Scully informs him that she had an amniocentesis done and that the baby is human baby with no genetic defects. Also she had the baby's DNA compared with her own personal sample of Mulder's DNA (cryo-frozen for just such a purpose; she's no dummy, Folks!) and he can either marry her and support the kid, or just support the kid, HEY! his choice! She has been discussing her career options with WHO/the FBI and she has her choice of several positions, not only in this country but also in several other foreign countries. If Mulder doesn't marry her, he can forget about visitation priviliges, and the kid will have a bodyguard. Scully says all of this with a sweet smile. Mulder decides to commit and they set a date with Scully's priest.

I don't know what happens to the Aliens. Could be they suddenly discover they've been holding their star-map upside-down all along...they've been at the wrong planet! Whoops! They let everyone they've abducted out at a mall parking lot so they look like they're just wandering around wondering where the car is parked.

So in Leila's Myth-Arc, the Big Quest ends like all Big Quests since Time Immemorial. The hero or heroine always discovers that what he/she wants was there all along, but they had to go all around Robin Hood's barn before they knew it. So after Mulder figures out that what he wants is over there at the computer station, we don't need the Aliens anymore. Seriously, who gives rat's behind over whether we see the Alien Invasion? Will Smith has already set the benchmark for beating the bejeebers out of Aliens in "Independence Day," am I right? This thing, from the beginning, has been about two people who are passionate about making their lives count for something and they're up against all the terrible things in life that are such crushing disappointments. You don't get a break at work. People think you're not useful to them. They betray you. They drop you. Love dies. People you care about, and who care about you, die. There's no Justice. So Mulder and Scully? They should both keep their ho-hum new jobs with WHO, The World Health Organization, then come home at the end of their assignment and pick up little Wilhelm at Mrs. Scully's house.

This is from the Gilgamesh story. His good friend Enkadu has died on the field of battle. Gilgamesh has set out to find out how immortality works. Along the way he meets up with Siduri, the Ale-Wife. She says:
