December 3 1999: From an official FOX press release:

"After an innocent teen is accused of a gruesome and unexplained murder, Mulder and Scully's investigation leads to the discovery of supernatural forces at work."

November 26 1999: From the Fox 61 Web site:

"When an innocent teen recently transplanted from the big city is accused of the gruesome and unexplained murder of a Sheriff's deputy in a small Midwestern town, MULDER and SCULLY arrive on the scene to investigate the bizarre crime. The crime has supernatural underpinnings, it appears the murder is linked to people who move faster than the eye can see.

"A series of frightening incidents point Mulder and Scully in the direction of the Sheriff's charismatic, but troubled, teenage son.

"As MULDER and SCULLY race against time to prevent the Sheriff's son from unleashing his 'speed rage' on an unsuspecting town, we see not only how quickly absolute power can corrupt an individual but also how easy it is to prey on the emotional vulnerabilities of impressionable kids."

November 22 1999: From Elwood Blues:

"When a teen-ager is accused of a gruesome murder, SCULLY & MULDER discover supernatural forces at work..."

November 21 1999: From Iona:

"'Rush' is characters of the week heavy. It seems to be more from the perspective of one of the teens rather than from Mulder and Scully's side of things. We have three teens: Max, Chastity and Tony. All three are affected by this 'cave happening'...but Tony is a sweet kid with a good heart...an innocent really. Max, on the other hand, is just running wild with his new abilities. Chastity realizes the implications of Max's lack of ethics and does what she must to end the inevitable. It is a difficult ending...a kind of morality tale, and the last scenes will be terrific visually. It's quite well-done, I think. The tone and look of the episode so remind me of The X-Files of old...dark, foggy at times, in the woods with lights shining from behind the trees. I don't recall much taking place during the day."

October 10 1999: From Autumn Tysko:

"Still no name for this episode, but the locale has switched from a 'small Midwestern town' to Virginia. Shooting started October 5th."

August 28 1999: From An Internal FOX memo, Distributed over the Internet:

"Investigating a number of unexplained murders in a small Midwestern town, MULDER and SCULLY discover a strange gang of teenagers headed by a charismatic yet frightening young man. Suspecting that this group is somehow behind the crime spree, MULDER and SCULLY eventually discover a powerful vortex emanating from a split in the Earth in the gang's headquarters in a cave on the outskirts of town. Exposure to the vortex allows humans to move faster than the eye can see, enabling the teens to carry out their deeds unnoticed. Aided in their investigation by a teen recently transplanted to town who challenges the gang's leader, MULDER and SCULLY will help us to explore how bad people will often take advantage of the emotional vulnerabilities of young impressionable kids."
