Star Trek: The Next Generation had an Episode where The Enterprise-D got stuck in a Temporal Causality Loop and got blown up- Over and over and over and over. They get out of this conundrum by sending themselves a message to the next loop: "Do something different."
Maybe whoever wrote this ep saw that Trek 'sode before writing this. Good Idea actually.
This is therefore, the X-Files version of a Temporal Causality Loop. Monday after Monday after Monday, Mulder wakes up to the worst day of his life - And has to live it over and over, until he finally figures it out and sends himself a message.
This episode is literally Stolen by Carrie Hamilton (Carol Burnett's Daughter - RIP 2002) - Who is the only person who is remembering each Monday as it passes.
Carrie gives us the image of a broken insane woman, living this thing over and over again, nothing she tries ever changes the outcome. She tries to interact with every member of The X-Files, Skinner, Mulder, and eventually Skully, nothing she does can keep them from entering the bank that her boyfriend "Bernard" (Darren Burrows) has gone into, with a roll of dynamite sticks around his waist which he intends to rob.
Hamilton created a character "Pam," a woman completely at wit's end, who from the start exudes fear - Even before she interacts in the first scene where she is involved, you now she's part of this.
During Each Perturbation of events, Mulder expounds on "Deja Vu" and different theories on what it means, one of those theories being that you are getting a "Second Chance" to make right an event that you got wrong the first time... And the second, and the 3rd, 4th, 5th, nth time.
I've seen this scenario in several different movies and TV shows, but this one here, is the most unusual treatment of the old "Roll Back the Clock/Erase the Slate and start again" thing. I had to look up the actress who played "Pam" - Surprised that she was Carol Burnett's Daughter and sad that she passed away in 2002.
