This Is Not Happening

When Teresa Hoese, the woman Scully & Mulder met the previous spring in Oregon just before Mulder was abducted, is found in a desert, returned from testing done on her by aliens, Doggett alerts Scully that this could have something to do with Mulder and his whereabouts. Skinner joins them and they travel to the hospital where Teresa is, clinging to life by a thread, and Scully realizes that this is exactly what's going on with Mulder. The agents catch up with Richie Szalay, who found Teresa Hoese and was looking for his friend, and talk to him. Richie says that the area has been heavily covered with UFO activity and thought he might find his friend here but instead found Teresa. Meanwhile, Jeremiah Smith is back with his friend, Absalom, who belives in the coming alien apocalypse. Jeremiah has been taking the returned abductees and secretly healing all their wounds so that they wouldn't die. Being a shapeshifter, Jeremiah walked into the hospital that Teresa Hoese was in and posed as her doctor, transfering her out to his place in the woods so that he might heal her, too. That night, Scully goes to talk to Skinner about how she's afraid that they're going to find Mulder like Teresa, near death or already dead. Skinner says they'll find him alive. The next day, Doggett calls Scully and Skinner out to a field to get another point of view from an FBI agent from New Orleans that worked on his son's murder case with him.

Scully: The syringes contained Roperidol, that's the same anti-psychotic medication that she was giving to Dr Richmond.
John Doggett: He's not the one calling the shots.
Scully: You still think that it was Kobold?
John Doggett: This is not about demons, it's not about demonic possession, it's about men.
Scully: Agent Doggett, have you considered that something else might be going on here?
John Doggett: I heard you say it, Agent Scully, I heard you tell a classroom full of FBI cadets - most evil in the world comes from men.
Scully: Yeah, but I also said that when science fails, we have to consider extreme possibilities. I know what you're feeling. I know your frustration. But you can't let it cloud your objectivity.
John Doggett: Agent Reyes is thinking just what this guy, Kobold, wants her to think, and now you are too.
