Season six ran from 1998 - 1999 .

The events of this season are preceded by the movie ''''.

Main and recurring cast can be found at the main '' X-Files '' page.


THE BEGINNING


With the X-Files reopened, Mulder and Scully eagerly hunt for a deadly creature in the Arizona desert. What they find seems to support Mulder's revived belief in aliens, but is discredited when the agents are not reassigned to the X-Files, with Spender and Fowley taking over instead.


DRIVE


With Mulder trapped in a car by a seemingly deranged man, Scully races to determine if the man is suffering from a deadly illness — and if Mulder is in danger of becoming the next victim.


TRIANGLE

Mulder goes in search of a ship that disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in 1939. But when he gets on board, Mulder finds that he — and all the passengers and crew (as well as some strangely familiar ones)— are still stuck in the past.
  • ''Gillian Anderson, William B. Davis, Chris Owens, James Pickens Jr and Mitch Pileggi play characters in 1939 as well as their regular ones.''

  • ''The episode was designed by Chris Carter to be similar in style to Alfred Hitchcock 's '' Rope ''. Through manipulation of the camera, and editing, the episode is designed to look like it was shot in four uninterrupted eleven-minute takes. The second act, however, in which Scully traverses the halls of the FBI, was shot uninterrupted without any editing.''

  • ''This episode does not, and is not intended to, follow the story arcs of the series or even its current season. On the contrary, it was created as a stand-alone episode.''



DREAMLAND


An anonymous tip finally brings Mulder and Scully to the mecca of all UFO lore — Area 51. but when the agents witness the flight of a mysterious craft, their lives are profoundly — and perhaps irrevocably — altered.


DREAMLAND II


Scully begins to suspect that her partner's strange behaviour is more than it appears to be, while Mulder fights to return his life to normal before it's too late.


TERMS OF ENDEARMENT

Guest Starring Bruce Campbell

When a mother is accused of killing her unborn child, Mulder and Scully discover that the father has his own secrets, and he's not the only one.


THE RAIN KING


In a small town plagued by drought, Mulder and Scully come upon a man who claims to be able to control the weather — at a hefty profit. Yet the agents discover a force of nature at work even more powerful than the weather, and just as unpredictable.


HOW THE GHOSTS STOLE CHRISTMAS


On the night before Christmas, Mulder convinces Scully to put aside her gift wrapping and stake out a reputed haunted house. But they discover a pair of lovelorn spectres living inside the house who are determined to prove how lonely the holidays can be.
  • ''The episode with the least cast required. Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny, Tomlin and Asner are the only actors involved.''



S.R. 819


Mulder and Scully have 24 hours to save Assistant Director Skinner from being killed — but in order to do so, they must determine who wants him dead, and why.


TITHONUS


Agent Scully learns that she, but not Mulder, is being given a chance to prove her worth at the FBI, and - paired with a new partner - she investigates a crime scene photographer whose subjects may in fact be his victims. What she does not expect is for Death to play a role himself.


TWO FATHERS

When Cassandra Spender is returned, Mulder, Scully and Agent Spender find themselves facing the exposure of the conspiracy involving extraterrestrials; while the worried Syndicate take evasive measures.


ONE SON

While Cassandra reveals the truth about the alien conspiracy to Mulder, her ex-husband - the Cigarette Smoking Man - does the same to Agent Spender in an effort to convince him to work with the conspiracy. But even as Mulder is deceived by Agent Fowley, Scully stays true to the investigation, and the two find a surprise ally. Meanwhile, the Syndicate reach the climax of their plans, only to find that the end is not as they expected.


AGUA MALA


Having been re-assigned to the X-Files, Mulder and Scully are looking forward to cases again. Instead, Arthur Dales, now living in a Florida trailer park, calls the agents for help when a neighbouring family disappears; and, with a hurricane approaching, Mulder and Scully find themselves trapped with a group of residents in a building where there really ''is'' something in the water.
