One of Scully's Best 'The X-Files' Episodes Features Jodie Foster's Weirdest Performance Ever

Across The X-Files’ 11-season run, Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) has had many iconic episodes, but one of her personal favorites — and one of the series’ more unconventional hours — came in Season 4. “Never Again” reveals a darker, more impulsive side of Scully, while also carrying a fascinating behind-the-scenes history. Written by iconic X-Files duo Glen Morgan and James Wong in their final episode before leaving to run Millennium, the story finds Scully at a personal crossroads, taking a rare solo case while questioning her place in the FBI and her partnership with Mulder (David Duchovny). What begins as an uninterested Scully on an investigation quickly spirals into a tense, bizarre and unexpectedly intimate character study, while also featuring a rare TV appearance from Oscar-winner Jodie Foster in a surprising role that perfectly matches the episode’s uneasy tone.
