No aliens here, the show goes back to the supernatural and in this case focuses on faith (Christianity in particular). I enjoyed the blending of reality and fantasy (or is it?) to bring about a sense of realism, but more so the thought-provoking message delivered.
While we have the usual suspense, investigation, and chase scene we've come to expect from The X-Files, we get an almost role-reversal with Scully and Mulder, whereas Mulder is the one who can't believe in something extraordinary because of its tie to religion.
In the end, Scully makes a very human confession while opening up a number of questions for consideration. Excellent conclusion to a surprisingly deep episode.
