The X Files - Radioactive Sewage Flukeworm Nightmare Fuel

 The second season creature that is the very definition of Monster of the Week. The hermaphroditic, parasitic, radioactive flukeworm with certain humanoid traits, given great detailed elaboration through Scully's scientific biological gobbledygook. The jargon is there, a Russian cargo ship with a sewage tank holding a possible radioactive manmade byproduct of nuclear fallout right out of Chernobyl finding new digs in Newark, NJ!

We learn that someone in the FBI is a friend to Mulder and Scully, telling Mulder he must be successful in taking care of the episode's threat. Neutralizing the fluke creature is imperative. Obviously, this is paramount to the eventual reopened X files. Scully even challenges Mulder on his question of a very big flukeworm realizing old feelings of when they were working the X files still. Mulder getting fed up with Skinner, just going from generic assignment to generic assignment, is further established as the two butt heads on the work; whether or not Mulder even wants to remain with the FBI is questioned. Scully clearly doesn't want that, and it's obvious she pines for what they once had.
