Scully deals with deep feelings concerning the child she gave up for adoption on The X-Files. "Home Again" is the fourth episode of the show's tenth season.
In this episode, Mulder and Scully are called to investigate when the body of a disfigured baby is discovered. The story involved incest, genetic disfigurement, decapitation and burying a child alive. The director herself described one of the scenes as “the most awful shot of my career.”
“Home” was the first episode in America to receive a TV-MA warning and FOX only aired it once before banning it for its intensely disturbing content. It wasn't seen on the air again until 1997, during a marathon on FX.
Mulder: Air's gettin' a little hot in here. O'Malley: Oh. Those don't roll down. I had the vehicle bulletproofed. Mulder: Because you never know when a gun-toting liberal might go Hinkley.
