Don't understand the low rating for this one. This is beyond the best episode of season 8. Touching, personal, Mulder returned, Daggett forced to believe the paranormal, breaking the law to save Scully, just like Mulder would have done. Finally the ending, complete silence, Daggett finally sees Mulder for who he was, concluding with an unspoken awknowledgment and acceptance. It's not that he has replaced Mulder, but more able to stand alongside him.
