January 28 2001: From DDuchov42:

"The are four flashbacks in the episode that we have spoilers for. Each flashback is set a "full year" earlier. The first is of the elevator scene that was indicated by the story board screen caps. Scully is in the elevator, Mulder tells her he's been looking for her and she confides that she had a doctor's appointment. Mulder is concerned by this and asks why she went to the doctor. Scully doesn't answer. He, as one would expect, is worried that the cancer has returned. Scully eventually confides that she can't accept that she will never be able to have children. Mulder recognizes the pain this is causing her, and opens up to her that he had found her ova at the facility, and apparently had immediately took them to a specialist to be tested, but was told they weren't viable. Mulder couldn't tell her before because she was so ill, and because he couldn't didn't want her to be more hurt and disappointed. He's vested in obtaining her understanding and forgiveness. Scully, while upset, does understand yet requests the name of the specialist. Mulder doesn't understand, but Scully wants a second opinion."

"Flashback two sounds like the flashback we've gotten bits of already. Scully goes to see the specialist and he tells her that she might be able to conceive, with the proper approach. Time is of the essence and they need to start soon. He tells her she needs a father/donor, she confirms that she has someone in mind, but doesn't know how to ask him."

"Flashback 3. This takes place after she's asked Mulder to be the donor (this part is not specified in the script). Mulder comes to Scully's apartment and it's described as 'awkward' for them both. She inquires as to whether he's given thought to her request. He has. He's 'very flattered' by it. She takes that as an attempt to explain why he doesn't want to do it. She tells him she understands if he doesn't want to but he interrupts saying that he wants it for 'so many reasons' but doesn't know what comes next for the two of them (first), then the work. She hasn't thought about it, but would take a leave of absence. Mulder just doesn't want this to come between them in any way. Scully agrees, and Mulder officially tells her yes. She hugs him, he hugs her back 'warmly.' She'll arrange for Mulder to meet the doctor."

"Final flashback of the episode. This is where the OS pics seem to come into play. Mulder is at Scully's apartment when she returns. He was there waiting for her and fell asleep, she's been crying and he knows what's wrong. He says 'It didn't take I'm sorry.' And she tells him that she's sorry to have put them both through it, it was too much to hope for. They hold each other for a long time, he looks down at her and tells her to 'never give up on a miracle.' He kisses her forehead gently."

"This is still NOT the end but since no mention has been made of the rest of the plot I won't say anything on that just now."
"There is an interesting exchange between Scully and Doggett while she is in the hospital and after he knows she is pregnant. He asks her why she didn't tell him and she says that she was AFRAID, afraid that they would use the pregnancy against her, take her off the X-Files so that she couldn't find Mulder and with that she 'loses it.'"

January 24 2001: From FOX:

As their discoveries become even more disturbing, Scully is forced to question whether she should reveal the secret of her pregnancy to Doggett. Clues to the identity of who - or what - is the father of Scully's baby may be revealed."

December 11 2000: From The Ultimate Mark Snow Site:

"According to Soundtrackmag.com, Mark Snow will appear in an upcoming episode of The X-Files. Here is the info:"

"'X-Files fans should watch closely on Episode #8 this month - they'll see Snow onscreen in a cameo performance."

"The episode also features a brief return of David Duchovny. 'I play a doctor, and I don't say anything and I'm not on the screen too long, but it was a fun moment,' Snow told Soundtrackmag.com. 'Kim Manners, the director, called up and said, 'Look, get your ass over here, I want to have you in this show!' And I said 'Okay!' It was one of those night shoots, you get there at 8 and you leave at 5 in the morning.'"

October 6 2000: From T Lynn:

"Just found out that ep 8 is written by Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz. Kim Manners is directing. Shooting begins October 12th. Story centers around Duffy Haskell, an ex-military man who goes to Scully & Doggett to investigate his wife's death during childbirth. They discover he is thepresident of the Ohio Mutual UFO Network and that he wrote threatening letters to Mulder. This man believes that his wife was impregnated by aliens -- she was a multiple abductee. Also, Scully finds out that hertrusted obstetrician is in on a conspiracy . The casting breakdown states -- NOT MY WORDS! -- that Scully has been consulting him for the past year and that he was helping her to conceive -- that's what the breakdown says."

October 6 2000: From Agent Spooky:

"Rumor has it that Scully finds out that her trusted obstetrician is in on a conspiracy. The casting breakdown states that Scully has been consulting him for the past year and that he was helping her to conceive."
