* BurialAtSea: Captain William Scully's funeral. He is cremated and buried this way while Bobby Darin's "Somewhere Beyond the Sea" (his and Maggie's wedding song) plays in the background. Scully is upset, saying that her father was entitled to a full burial at Arlington, while her mother replies that he would have wanted it this way.

* ISeeDeadPeople: Scully sees her recently deceased father at the beginning of the episode. It is very creepy, and it makes Scully look for some X-files title Visionary Encounters with The Dead. Boggs seems to be channelling him later, too.
* ItAlwaysRainsAtFunerals: It's rainy on Scully's father's funeral and his mourners wear big black umbrellas.
* JerkassBall: Mulder holds a jerkass ball for this episode. He's compassionate and genuinely feels for Scully dealing with her loss and actually calls her "Dana" several times, but he also mocks her for only slightly tending to believe in Boggs. Moreover, he reproaches her for following his leads and then for not admitting the truth to the investigating team. When she returns to her rational explanation at the end, Mulder backs off and asks her why she cannot believe after all she has seen. He was seriously messing with her, probably still not trusting her entirely.
