The only reason I can think of for Jeffrey Spender not remembering growing up with Samantha is that perhaps they did that memory erasure thing on him like they did Samantha earlier. But just for the memory of her and CSM. Hmmmm....

I was wondering too what was the whole point of Mrs. Mulder leaning over the sleeping Mulder and talking. Maybe she was telling him the nurse's home was the answer and he only subconciously remembered it when he got there?

Leave it to CC to leave some questions. That he'll probably never answer. I'm trying to decide if it's genius or sloppiness, LOL. No offense, CC and Frank S. It was a fantastic ep.

DRH :-)
