Scully and Doggett head to Idaho to investigate two deaths, two dead bodies found with strange bite marks.
They definitely played it safe, this one plays out almost as a traditional horror, a story specifically designed to test the new working relationship between Scully and Doggett
Considering it's a Mulder free episode (apart from the scene of him falling away in those new, hard to get used to opening credits,) it's actually a pretty great episode, it naturally feels different, but all credit to Robert Patrick, I thought he was excellent here, I loved the scenes between Scully and Doggett.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't missing Mulder, but it's great to see Scully behaving so differently, she's so guarded, so defensive, she's made to feel very isolated.
For me, Patience feels like a throwback to an earlier series, it lacks any of the humour that I associated with Series 8, it felt like it was plucked out of series 5 or 6.
Loved it, 9/10.
