9x16 Release
Just a quick note: Since I'm back in Canada now, I'm going to use my old posting time which was 6pm EST, aka. the same time Kate usually posts hers as well. The post still showing the wrong timezone though, I don't know why.
Synopsis
When an FBI cadet with amazing profiling skills approaches Doggett, Reyes and Scully with a lead on a suspect in a series of recent murders, he claims the same killer is responsible for the death of Doggett's son. The agents find themselves wondering if his knowledge of the deaths is because of his obsession with the cases he has studied at Quantico or if he is in some way involved in the murders.
Writer: John Shiban, David Amann
Director: Kim Manners

Quotes
Regali: Well, well. It's the FBI agent.
Doggett: I'm not here as an FBI agent. I'm here as a father.
Regali: Whoaa. What could that mean?
Doggett: I want to know what happened to my son.
Regali: I don't know who killed your son. But I like you, FBI. I really do. I'll tell you how it could have happened, hypothetically.
Regali: Say there was this guy ... a businessman. And say this businessman - in the course of doing business - has to associate with any number of thugs, sickos, perverts. Like Bob Harvey, for example. And say this Bob Harvey likes little boys. Yeah. Disgusting. Say one day, Bob Harvey sees a little boy riding a bike, and he can't stand it. He grabs the boy. So, Harvey takes the boy back to his place only he doesn't tell the businessman what he's doing. So, the businessman walks in on him. You see what I'm saying, FBI? The boy sees the businessman's face. The businessman who never did nothing to this little boy. That's a problem. Well, every problem has got a solution, right?
Barbara Doggett: (To Scully about Doggett) He and Monica could have something... He just won't let anyone in...

Ok first off, the main thing I remember about this episode was the music. I'm a huge huge fan of piano and the take on classical stuff here was quite nice, I thought. I particularly love it (and the camera work) in the scene with the photographs on the wall, as seen in my episode header image.
So it's more on Doggett as we head on out to the end of the series forever. Forever. The end. This episode is sad as we go more into Luke Doggett's death and finding a suspect and all that. It's actually interesting for me as someone who's liked Doggett a little more as time goes on, so this episode is more interesting as well.
[tangent]Scully seems fairly calm for GIVING HER CHILD AWAY LAST EPISODE. Fine, fine, the eps are out of order as this is 9x16 and William was 9x17 but whatever. Still. Hello continuity. Especially as it is an episode about a son who is gone forever! C'mon 1013! I shouldn't care right? This was so long ago now and it's near the end of the series but I. Can't. Let. Go. These last few episodes would be like prime opportunity for Scully Grief as it's still fresh for her and they could at least briefly touch on it, but instead they have her traipsing about in frikkin Brady Bunch houses and $hit SPOILERS. It's bizarre. [/tangent]
Er, so anyway. There's all this stuff about the Cadet (with the really annoying lips) knowing stuff on the case and then Regali is murdered by Follmer in the end. Oh dear me, Follmer! And Doggett and his ex have a nice moment of "release" on the beach.
...
Oh not like THAT you pervs. You know what I mean.
To end,
Chris Carter: Hey! That kid who works here is going to be that crazy guy in that one about Mulder's son.
Kim Manners: What?
Frank Spotnitz: Doggett's son.
Chris Carter: Who's Doggett?
Frank Spotnitz: The NEW GUY!
Kim Manners: [expletives deleted]
Frank Spotnitz: Kim, what Chris means is that our writing intern is playing the role of Cadet Hayes in the episode about Doggett's son.
Kim Manners: The kid with the weird fucking lips?! I'd like to kick him in the ass!
Frank Spotnitz: Couldn't the lip thing be part of his character?
Kim Manners: [grumbles]
Chris Carter: Look! Shiny!
Ahhh it accentuates SO MUCH about how I think their mannerisms are in real life.

This episode marks the final appearance of Cary Elwes as A.D. Brad Follmer. Presumably, after he killed Regali at the climax, the video tape depicting his accepting a bribe landed at the Washington Post, resulting in Follmer's dismissal from the FBI, and possibly even being sent to prison on charges of taking bribes and murder.
The actor who portrays Cadet Hayes was actually a writing intern on the show.
The woman playing Agent Doggett's wife in this episode is Robert Patrick's real wife, Barbara Patrick.
