Episode Goofs
 
If Mrs. Mulder had to be transferred to a larger hospital for better care, why didn't Mulder move her to a hospital close to D.C., where he could visit her more often and oversee her care?
 
Mulder told Scully that CSM and his minions were after Jeremiah, yet he give her directions to a covert meeting place over the airwaves of an unsecured cellphone. The Lone Gunmen would be very, very disappointed at Mulder's flagrant breach of security.
 
The Cigarette Smoking Man reminises to Mrs. Mulder about "so many good times at the Mulders' summer place" when Fox and Samantha were young and energetic. Mulder has extensive memories about his childhood with his sister, but why can't he remember CSM visiting his parents' vacation home so many times over the years?
 
The Samantha clone told Mulder in Colony / End Game that a gunshot to the base of the neck would kill the alien bounty hunter, but Mr. X tells Mulder in this episode that a bullet to the same area will not work. Also, wouldn't a basic ice pick produce the same result as the special terminating weapon?
 
Mulder asks Scully if she thinks it's a "leap" to make a correlation between the shootings at the fast food restaurant and his mother writing PALM. Yes, it is a leap. It is also a leap that he would find the alien-killing device in the second lamp he breaks. It's surprising that Mr. X or CSM didn't trash the house before Mulder did.
 
Mrs. Mulder had just suffered a serious cerebral vascular incident, and yet she gained consciousness long enough to write PALM as an anagram for LAMP. With time so precious, and her rapidly deteriorating health, why would she resort to word games to give such invaluable information?
 
If Mrs. Mulder wrote PALM because of the debilitating effect the stroke had on her, how could she come so close to the word she meant and have such neat handwriting?
 
The alien-terminating weapon is still hidden in a lamp at the abandoned summer home after all these years.
