If this didn't feel like a two part story when it ended so abruptly, I don't know what would. The writers shrugged off the case of Kyle (Jonathan Whitesell) and Molly (Megan Peta Hill) by conveniently stating that they simply disappeared following the hospital incident. But think about it, both teens were guilty of murder in their own way. Stuff like this wouldn't have passed muster in the pre-Code era when all crimes had to go solved and punished. Goes to show how far we've come in bringing entertainment into the Twenty First Century.
And speaking of that, who would ever have considered a mention of oral sex on The X-Files during it's original run in the late Nineties? Wasn't that locked room scene something? Credit Mulder for maintaining equanimity during that encounter, someone more hotheaded might have beaten the tar out of Gupta (Vic Sahay).
With the series rebooting, one has a palpable sense that abductions, government conspiracies and genetic manipulation will all be part of the story lines moving forward. Augustus Goldman's (Doug Savant) daughter Molly herself was one of the Founder's Mutations of the title, but one has to wonder. If she was able to break free of her confinement when long lost brother Kyle found her, why wasn't she able to do that on her own at any time she felt like it? I guess you'd have to chalk it up to the stressful presence of Scully and Mulder on hand to confront Goldman.
With the respective reveries of both Scully and Mulder regarding their son William, it's more than apparent that there's some wistful longing for what might have been relative to a more normal life divorced from The X-Files. That seems more apropos for Scully, whereas Mulder's obsession was decidedly a conscious choice. Looking ahead, one might expect that by now, teenage son William might pop up in the show with enhanced abilities of his own. Have to wait and see.
I'm not quite sure how the two movie clips in the story related to the present case. The first was from 1971's "Escape From the Planet of the Apes", the second one in which Mulder was explaining his definition of the monolith to William came from "2001: A Space Odyssey". I guess you'd have to take Mulder's own advice on that one, and apply your own meaning when you figure it out.
