Conduit is underrated episode in the first season of the X-Files. I like this Episode a lot. Conduit is about a missing teenage girl who disappeared and went missing in Sioux City, Iowa. Mulder and Scully fly there when Mulder takes this case personal.
Section Chief Scott Blevins (Charles Cioffi) did not want to give an open case to Mulder, but Scully convinced him to talk to Mulder about this case. They both travel to Iowa to look closer for a missing girl. The episode is about a Lake Okobogee that was the scene of a series of UFO sightings in 1967: Darlene Morris (Carrie Snodgress) was a member of a Girl Scout troop than, she was one of the witnesses and now her daughter disappeared. While Mulder goes deeper in to this case, we realized that he is looking for this girl because she reminds him on his sister Samantha who went missing and disappeared when he was 12 years old. Mulder does not quit until he finds the body of a girl.
The leads of a missing girl finds connection that Ruby (Taunya Dee) the girl who disappeared had a boyfriend name Greg Randall who was pregnant at the time when she disappeared, it turned out Mulder and Scully found a grave in the woods and it was Greg Randall and they found a suspect and got it in to custody and it was Tessa (Shelley Owens) the girl who told about Greg to Mulder and Scully. She killed him when she find out Greg was going to leave her for Ruby, but in the woods Ruby never showed up. So the search keeps continue when Mulder saves young boy Kevin (Joel Palmer) from biker gang been almost run over, when Scully find's Ruby buried and alive. Mulder and Scully saves the kids. We see Mulder in a church sad when he still misses and searches for his missing sister.
This is a mystery episode that evolves disappearance of a teen girl in Iowa. First I thought the Aliens did that, but than we go deeper in to the plot of the story in this episode. This is not a mythology episode is a mystery episode.
Here we have three incredible actors appearing: Donald Gibb from Bloodsport (1988) appears as bartender and a biker name Kip. We have Carrie Snodgress from Charles Bronson's Murphy's Law (1986) in it, as Darlene the mother of a missing girl and of course Shelley Owens as Tessa boy she was hot in here. The producers than really knew what kind of beautiful actress to cast in the episodes.
I like this episode, I know it should have been mythology episode but even without that, it is still good episode. Still I think this episode should involved aliens and alien abduction and put mystery together it would be a better episode tough, just my opinion. Daniel Sackheim did incredible joy directing this episode, he even directed my favorite episode of all time "Deep throat." 7/10.
