May 15 2000: From TV Guide Online:

"The seventh-season finale takes the agents back to the site of their first case together, alien abductions in Oregon. Meanwhile, the ailing CSM summons Alex Krycek and Marita Covarrubias."

"Mulder and Scully's (David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson) partnership is put in jeopardy when they return to Bellefleur, Ore., revisiting their first case at the behest of alien abductee Billy Miles (Zachary Ansley).

"Returning to the scene of their first investigation seven years ago, Mulder and Scully encounter a UFO that may spell the end of their partnership."

May 12 2000: From Matt Roush:

"If David Duchovny refused to return to The X-Files for another year, the May 21 broadcast could end up being the last original episode of the hit series. And judging from some script materials we obtained, it is shaping up to be the most frightening hour in the history of the show. Way scarier than flesh-munching aliens. The plot: Mulder and Scully get visited by a pencil-pushing bureaucrat who goes over their expense reports from the day they landed at The X-Files. Imagine the dialogue: 'So, what's this here -- $20 for dry cleaning to remove alien slime from your evening gown?' It's an ingenious way for executive producer Chris Carter, who wrote the episode, to revisit the show's best moments."

"The seventh-season finale takes the agents back to the site of their first case together, alien abductions in Oregon. Meanwhile, the ailing CSM summons Alex Krycek and Marita Covarrubias.

"The season finale script for The X-Files was polished up last week, and in the grand what-the-heck-did they-mean-by-that tradition of the show, the plot developments are open to interpretation, to say the least. With contract renewal and lawsuit settlement negotiations with star David Duchovny going down to the wire, insiders said the script was deftly written to satisfy many potential needs, such as setting up the next X-Files feature, serving as a closer to the Mulder era of the series, or in a worst-case scenario, a full-blown series finale."

April 12 2000: From The Official X-Files Website:

"Chris Carter writes the season finale 'Requiem.' Directed by Kim Manners, it will tentatively air on 5/21."

"Our brilliant London Connection sent me this in an email and said I could post it: 'The line that is used in the Latin mass for the dead is dona eis requiem meaning [God] give(grant) them peaceful rest, so the word requiem itself literally just means peaceful rest but a requiem has come to refer to a commemoration of something or someone who has died...'"
