The Blessing Way the Limerick:
Mulder thought dead is healing
Scully when dreaming is feeling
"Mulder's not dead,
its all in my head!"
While Skinner, the tape is concealing.
The Blessing Way is the second episode of a three parter which ends season 2 and begins season 3. I really like this episode because of the focus given to the Indian culture and healing process. In the previous episode Mulder was in a boxcar full of alien corpses when CSM torched it leaving us believing that Mulder was dead. We now find that Mulder is not dead and the Navajo nurture him back to life. Meanwhile Scully is dealing with matters back home. Her badge and weapon are taken from her but this does not keep her from trying to help find Mulder. While she believes him dead in the beginning he appears to her in a dream leading her to believe that he is going to be found alive. She tells Mrs. Mulder this at Mr. Mulder's funeral where she has a run in with Well Manicured Man who warns her that someone she trusts will try to kill her. She suspects Skinner because he apparently has an alternate agenda and lies to her about being at her apartment. This leads to the end of the episode with Scully and Skinner in a stand off which gets even better in the next episode as this is where this one cuts off. Probably one of the better scenes in the whole series. This is probably my favorite three parter and I enjoy this episode. 9 out of 10.
