The episode deals with abductions that are continuing even though the Project was destroyed, in Oregon where Mulder and Scully worked on their first X-file together. The FBI asks M&S to make their search for the truth more "focused" and "responsible," i.e., less costly.
"Yes, Scully is terrorized for not reigning Mulder in as she was supposed to as a scientist and forced to admit she's not exactly a complete disbeliever, and Mulder is told he's not being fiscally responsible. So when Billy Miles calls them Scully says 'So, let's go waste some money.'

What's interesting is that from what I've seen they do visit the woods again, and something really wild happens to Scully there that is described as she being 'shaken at some kind of warp speed.'"

Description of CC at the University of California, Santa Barbara (an appearance I missed by a DAY): "He did promise that the season finale will be very important to the mythology, and hinted (in the episode-teasing manner) that it might involve the missing scene from 'all things' (which he co-wrote the ending for) in some manner. When an audience member asked what went on between the couch and the bedroom, he said, 'That's a very important question to ask,' and that it might become clear in the finale. ...While he referred to his widely known statement that a physical relationship would never happen, he didn't make any present references (again the 'all things' hint hint)."

Someone will probably die.

CC: "I'll tell you there's going to be a very big surprise in the season finale coming up."
Frank Spotnitz: "I would expect a direct conclusion to seven years of unrequited sexual tension."
John Shiban: "There is a plan for [the conclusion of the series]. We always felt it would take at least two episodes to do it--if not more. We really want to do it right." Hmph.
Frank Spotnitz: "We're probably going to piss off a lot of people."
