Episode S1E22 - Born Again; or, Ghost Jacking 2: Conception Boogaloo

0:00 1:39:16

Can a murdered cop reincarnate through conception and come back as a deeply unsettling eight-year-old girl?

Dash and Melz (longtime fans and couple) and Angel (first-time watcher and Dash’s mom) are digging into “Born Again,” the episode that sends Mulder and Scully to Buffalo for a creepy kid, a murdered police officer, some very suspicious former partners, and what may be the most complicated case of Ghost Jacking yet.

Meanwhile, Angel is immediately onboard with creepy-kid X-Files, we try to figure out exactly how reincarnation-by-conception is supposed to work, and everybody involved in making this episode apparently likes it a whole lot less than we do.

Also: Pillsbury Alibi Dust, Mulder and Langly’s 4/20 plans, the question of just how solved this case actually is, and a surprisingly serious conversation about whether a dead man’s soul can hitch a sperm ride at the exact moment of climax. Basically, way more paranormal reproductive science than anyone asked for.
