I’m going to end up with 3 clips from this episode because it’s just that good. This scene really changes how you view Skinner, who almost seemed a bit antagonistic up to this point.
Interestingly, there’s a follow-up to this scene in the Season 11 Episode 6 ‘Kitten’.

One Breath is Season 2 Episode 8 of The X Files.
