After everything quiets down, Scully’s phone bings: She’s been charged $250 for a false alarm. And the password she uses while on the phone with the alarm company is “Queequeg,” which makes this old X-Phile’s heart so happy. The code is 0223 - Scully’s birthdate - in case you’re planning on robbing the good doctor in the near future. Scully, what a beautiful new abode you’ve got! Her house is rigged with smart panels and all that jazz, though she can’t get her alarm system to turn off after she walks through the door. QUEEQUEG! | Scully finally gets home and… well, well, well Dr. His car blares Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Teach Your Children.” Meanwhile, Mulder’s got similar problems: His car won’t play the Prince song he requests via voice recognition software, and his navigation system just directs him back to Forowa’s parking lot… where he suddenly gets a push notification reminder that he can still tip on his bill. By the time it finally acquiesces to her orders and pulls over, she’s shaken. The car’s voice-activated system keeps asking Scully what she needs, and when she replies that she wants it to shut up, it responds by speeding up abruptly. NOTICING A TREND? | The pair are outside when the car Scully ordered arrives it’s a self-driving vehicle from a company called Whipz, and she barely gets out a “Mulder” before the door automatically closes and her ride home begins. But Mulder’s credit card, he realizes, is still inside. They’re trapped until Scully jiggles the lock with a well-placed chopstick, and they escape. He bangs on the counter, but that only seems to anger the restaurant, which extinguishes its lights and announces that all of the doors are locked. But when he chooses not to tip, the system won’t let his card go. Since Scully’s just about done and Mulder’s apparently not getting anything other than the blobfish, he sticks his credit card into an automated system to pay. They seem to pause when he walks in, then resume their tasks as he uneasily backs out. Scully giggles as she snaps a pic, but when Mulder goes into the kitchen to talk to someone about the mixup, all he finds are robots at work prepping the food. Mulder’s, however, is a slimy, whole blobfish on a plate. The Cleaning Lady: Naveen Andrews Joins as 's Ex in Season 2Īfter Scully gets a push notification asking her to “friend” the restaurant on social media (she declines), her meal arrives and looks normal. I like it.Ĭall Me Kat: Parker Young Cast in Season 3. Did I mention Scully has bobbed her hair? She has. They don’t say much of anything to each other, which seems odd… until I realize how often my husband and I sit on the couch next to each other, silent, each engrossed in the iPhone in our paws. They order via digital menu, then tool around on their phones while waiting for the food to arrive. Like, no waiters, no other customers, nothing. SOMETHING’S FISHY | After a cold open that informs us about some artificial intelligence that started out as a sweet, naïve being but turned into a racist garbage pile thanks to Twitter, we encounter Mulder and Scully waiting for some food in Forowa, a sushi restaurant that’s entirely devoid of other people.
