THE X-FILES: 4 Teases About ‘Familiar’

After just barely surviving an elaborate A.I. attack in last week’s episode of THE X-FILES, Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) are back to more human matters in Wednesday’s new hour. (But, you know, as a reminder, always tip your freaking robot waiters/chefs. Never forget the lessons of “Rm9sbG93ZXJz.”)

In “Familiar,” Fox previews that “Mulder and Scully investigate the brutal animal attack of a little boy in Connecticut, while suspecting darker forces are at play.” And, unfortunately for the town, that’s just the start of their problems.

And, of course, things are never exactly as they seem. While we don’t want to reveal (or spoil) too much, here are a few more teases about the episode.

• Mulder and Scully often butt heads with local law enforcement (sometimes intentionally; other times, not so much), but this particular case has an extra layer of tension due to who the victim happens to be related to.
• Scully’s approach towards cases tends to be rational and the safer way to approach things. However, her theory about this situation has unexpected consequences.
• Mulder, as you might expect, has a few supernatural-related thoughts about what went down. And given that the case takes place in Connecticut, not all of his theories are so far-fetched.
• Never. Trust. Creatures. That. Appear. On. Television.

THE X-FILES, Wednesdays, 8/7c, Fox
