For his second episode of the season, Darin Morgan delivers an episode that works much better. From the very first second, the episode hits the nail on the head and keeps on stringing beads. The episode is very similar to “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster”, in that they each evoke the meaning of life. A great success.
