2x18 — Fearful Symmetry
A standalone episode, unrelated to the main mythology arc. Mulder and Scully work a case of alien abduction — except this time the abductees are zoo animals, not people.
One thing that stood out: this is a 1994 episode, and there’s a scene of Mulder on a video call with the Lone Gunmen. In 1994. Technology.
The title is lifted from William Blake’s “The Tyger”:
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
