Scully gets a call from someone while at the hospital that claims she knows why people are getting sick. The woman turns out to be Scully’s old partner, Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish). When Scully meets with Monica, she tells Scully that the Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis) is still alive. The Cigarette Smoking Man is the one who set everything in motion and he got Monica to work for him by offering her immunity from the disease he spread around the planet.
6. Scully Is Immortal…Kind Of
Monica also tells Scully that she’s been selected to be one of the chosen few who will survive the outbreaks. Scully is worried about Mulder, but Monica assures her that the Cigarette Smoking Man loves Mulder and sent a man to retrieve him. She lets Scully know that the disease is called the Spartan Virus, which takes out people's immune systems and allows them to get deathly sick.
7. Mulder Reunites With Cigarette Smoking Man
Mulder gets into a fight with the man sent to retrieve him at his home. After a long battle, Mulder beats the man and finds out he was sent by Cigarette Smoking Man. Mulder finds the Cigarette Smoking Man, who tries to convince Mulder to join him and the chosen. If he doesn’t, Mulder will die of some sort of sickness. The Cigarette Smoking Man says humans have been killing the planet and what’s happening is inevitable, but he just sped up the process to start a new world with the people he's given the cure to. Mulder refuses to play ball and begins to get very sick.

The man doesn't answer, but tells him to tell Mulder he said goodbye before he dies.
9. Scully’s Cure
Scully finds a vaccine to the Spartan Virus using her DNA. The alien DNA inside of her prevented her from getting sick, while everyone else ended up getting sick because they don’t have alien DNA. Einstein starts to get really sick and Scully hooks her up to an IV with the vaccine hoping to get her feeling better to help make more of the vaccine.
10. Scully Needs William To Save Mulder
After taking a car and driving on sidewalks to get to Miller and Mulder, Scully finally finds them on a bridge. When she sees Mulder she realizes he’s even sicker than she thought and he’ll need more than an IV to be cured. She tells Miller that Mulder needs stem cells from their son William, but neither of them know where he is.
11. Aliens, the Chosen Ones or William?
Just as Scully says she doesn’t know where William is, an ARV ship appears overhead and drops a light beam down on Scully. Everyone on the bridge looks up at the ship in amazement and the episode comes to an end with Miller and Scully looking right up into the light. Was it aliens? Her son? Or the Cigarette Smoking Man’s chosen? We’ll have to wait until the next chapter to find out.
