This is the penultimate episode of the 2016 reboot of The X-Files, and it has a clever way of presenting what might be an alternate future – for the series itself. In this story about a bombing, Scully and Mulder (Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny) are joined and observed during their investigation by a pair of younger lookalikes and sometimes act-alikes, played by Lauren Ambrose and Robbie Amiel. Could they be the nucleus of a new spinoff version of The X-Files? Or is there an even deeper conspiracy afoot?
