The X-Files will unleash something for your nightmares in "Home Again." The fourth episode of the six-episode event series hails from executive producer, writer and director Glen Morgan and finds Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania investigating the murder of a federal official. Things get more complicated from there, obviously, it's The X-Files. Sadly there's no It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia crossover.

Here's what we can tell you about the spooky and emotional hour.

There's a big crisis. Well, there's more than one crisis, but there's a something that will hit home hard for The X-Files fans.

The Band-Aid Nose Man is your new nightmare. The maggots. The ripping. That's all you need to know.

Scully says this to Mulder. You will not get any context from us. "You're a dark wizard, Mulder."

Mulder and Scully's son, William, is central to this episode—specifically, Scully's feelings on giving him up. It still haunts her. Fun fact: Episode two, "Founder's Mutation," also dealt with William. However, that episode was shot as episode five. So if you were looking for more emotional attention to the William situation, it's here.

The trend of Battlestar Galactica cameos continues. Hey, it's shot in Vancouver after all.

The amount of flashlight action is unparalleled. Scully even drops a reference to her past fashions.

Intrigued? The X-Files airs Mondays, 8 p.m. on Fox.
