If there is one thing that The X-Files does very well, it is horror and this week it delivers.
Home Again is the episode that die-hard fans have been waiting for, combining all the elements that made The X-Files a cult classic – a horrifying, fly-ridden villain who arrives in a ghostly garbage truck before ripping off the limbs of morally corrupt city officials, a social message, some startling jump scares, and an emotional story for Mulder and Scully.
As Mulder and Scully are sent to investigate a series of murders linked to homeless people in Philadelphia, it becomes increasingly clear that no human could have committed them Scully handles a personal tragedy as she goes to the aid of her ailing mother. Delving back into her family life forces her to confront the deep feelings she harbours after putting her son William up for adoption 15 years ago to protect him.
The X Files airs 8:30 pm Sunday on Ten
