* IdiotBall: After their claims of extraterrestrials are ignored as baseless again, Mulder and Scully run into Gibson. As Scully points out, this is iron-clad proof of the supernatural sitting in their car, but instead of immediately taking Gibson to the safest safehouse they can find and sticking to him like glue, Mulder goes off with his ex to chase down a UFO lead, and Scully takes Gibson to a hospital and takes her eyes off him. Naturally they lost Gibson to the Conspiracy.

* ExactWords: Mulder complains to Scully the only reason he went in there to tell the committee all that happened was that Scully assured him she'd back him up as she had a "scientific reason for what we saw." Scully has to clarify that Mulder should have talked to her before this as A) what she was was actually very little and B), she does have a scientific reason, it's just not aliens but an earth-based virus.
