Background Information
Introductory Details

Locations
Memorable Quotes
- "In my medical opinion, beeeeeeeep" *claps hands* - Dana Scully's intoxicated explanation for Jimmy Belmont's cause of death, jumping in front of a moving bus.
Cultural References
- Frohike asks the bouncer if he wants to "Thunderdome", a reference to the "Mad Max" films.
- Scully refers to the Gunmen as "The Three Stooges".
- Langly wears Motorhead and Snoozonica T-Shirts.
Other Episode Notes
- Jimmy states that he will have front row access to the unveiling of a new stealth assassination technology. This becomes vaguely prophetic when he becomes the first known victim of that same technology.
- The Lone Gunmen contact Scully as they need someone with authority to help with their investigation, but believe Mulder would be too well known to those in attendance.
Continuity
- This episode continues the storyline of Susanne Modeski trying to fight the government's development of mind control technology, first seen in "Unusual Suspects".
- After being injected, a drugged Scully is surrounded by a group of government suitors. One of these suitors is Morris Fletcher, who offers her a Morley cigarette. As Frohike drags her away, she gives Fletcher a smack on the butt, a throw back to Fletcher having smacked her on the butt when he traded bodies with Mulder in "Dreamland" and "Dreamland II".
