Meanwhile, Mulder talks to redeveloper Landry (Daryl Shuttleworth, also of Morgan’s short-lived-but-intriguing “Intruders”) and Board of Education rep Huff (Peggy Jo Jacobs, who cropped up in Morgan’s “Black Christmas” remake), who are both arguing over the proposed relocation of the poor to a vacant hospital, which Huff feels is too close to a local school in her district, which could potentially endanger the kids there. (For fans, Scully also drops an “Ahab” reference in regards to her father- a nice bookend to the Queequeg and Daggoo ones from the previous episode.) almost certainly won’t be able to get there in time to visit his mother before her likely impending demise, or that he can’t reach Charlie, with whom all have been estranged for some time. This knocks Scully for a loop, and she’s not helped by the fact that William Jr. When Scully arrives, her mother is in bad shape, and oddly, has been calling out for Charlie, the heretofore unseen Scully sibling, rather than Dana or William, Jr., or even her grandkids. He also notices that a piece of graffiti artwork was put up in roughly the same time-frame, and that the artist could have conceivably seen something, having been in the near-vicinity of the crime and sets about trying to track the artist down. He finds that all the security cameras have intentionally been moved to cover the tracks of whoever did it, and finds a grimy band-aid on the ground, which he takes to have analyzed. Scully rushes to her side, leaving Mulder to continue the investigation. Alas, no sooner has Scully arrived than she gets an emergency call from her brother, William, Junior, informing her that her mother, Margaret (Sheila Larkin, reprising the role she originated in the show’s initial run) is in the hospital, having had a heart attack. The problem being, of course, that no man was capable of such a feat.Įnter Mulder and Scully, brought in as advisers by the local detective on the case, as they have experience with “spooky” cases. The first victim, Cutler (Alessandro Juliani, “The 100”), has his arms ripped clean off, his head torn off and tossed into a wastebasket, and his torso left behind his desk.

The story revolved around a series of murders involving city officials tasked with relocating the poor so that various buildings could be cleaned, basically upending their lives overnight, practically without warning, leaving many out on the street. (It helps that it didn’t involve incest, for one.) That said, it did feature mass dismemberment, and far-flung body parts, as well as one woman being crushed and tossed into a trash compactor, so it’s not as if it were “The Wonderful World of Disney,” either. Perhaps for the best, despite the title, “Home Again” is not, in fact, a sequel to “Home,” but it was pretty gruesome, all told, albeit not nearly as gross as “Home,” thankfully. He’s best-known for the notorious, oft-banned “Home” (the one about the cannibal family), and the fan favorites “Squeeze”/“Tooms,” “Ice,” “Beyond the Sea” and “Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man.” Whereas Darin is known for his more light-hearted fare on the show, Glen, who was also one of the masterminds behind the “Final Destination” series (he wrote and produced the 1st and 3rd respectively, along with frequent co-conspirator James Wong), tends to go darker- way darker. This came courtesy of Glen Morgan, brother of last week’s episode’s author, Darin, and as fans know, the two are night and day stylistically, and in their overall vibes. On the fourth episode of “The X-Files” revival mini-series- or technically, the second switched around to the fourth slot, if you’re keeping score at home- we got another “monster-of-the-week”-type episode, only with a very different vibe than that of last week’s superlative (and hilarious) one.
