Who could possibly be of at least partial Mexican heritage if you use a little bit of imagination. Which is hard for me, as I am always remembering that movie about Mystic Pizza that she was in.
But the reason why I want to make this review right now is because this is the first introduction to the character and also contains a huge hint that she would be working with the cigarette smoking man at later times. It's something that we didn't consider when these episodes were being shown, but from the moment we saw her in "My Struggle II", it all makes sense. It's not that she smokes, it's the way that she smokes. She is always "quitting", but never actually does. I was glad when they brought the character back but I was sad that they never brought Robert Patrick back to be Dogget again.
"This is not happening" is a conglomeration of all of the X-Files clichés starting from season one up until this episode. You may recognize "Absalom" (Judson Scott aka Joachim from The Wrath of Khan), and Jeremiah Smith aka Roy Thinnes of "The Invaders" fame, and there is even a reappearence of Theresa Hoese, who was in the pilot X-Files episode.
But this episode simply isn't the last dregs of the syndicate mythos story, it's not more of the shape changing alien bounty hunter flying around from state to state in his invisible UFO picking up former UFO abductees.
Here, the abductees are being returned, for a new purpose which doesn't become clear until the next episode and the new "alien replacement/super soldier" arc begins.
This is also a large amount of irony here, things would have worked out more positively had not the FBI become involved and invaded Absolom's compound.
The mysterious thing here is that Jeremiah Smith has always had the same shape changing powers as the alien bounty Hunter, and we also know that the alien bounty Hunter had the same healing powers that Jeremiah Smith had. The alien bounty hunter played so well by Brian Thompson. But after this episode we never see either of these characters ever again.
