Even before FOX’s “The X-Files” season premiere, Bloody Disgusting was able to nab details on the second episode of the two-night event.

On Monday, January 25th, Mulder and Scully investigate a doctor with unscrupulous practices in ‘Founder’s Mutation.’

Doug Savant (“Desperate Housewives,” “Melrose Place”) guest-stars in this episode written and directed by James Wong, who was the writer on the famous episode, “Home,” not to mention director of Final Destination and producer on Black Christmas.

“When a scientist suddenly commits suicide, Mulder and Scully investigate what unseen force may have driven him to it. What they uncover is a laboratory where extreme genetic experimentation has been going on for decades, breeding subjects who possess unexpected and dangerous powers – and who harbor deep resentments.”

What’s interesting, though, is that this was originally the fifth episode filmed. To me this implies that none of the internal episodes (2-5) have anything to do with the “wrap,” meaning that the season will finally come together in the finale. With that said, the concept of genetic experiments lives heavily within the alien-hybrid conspiracy world of what Mulder and Scully are investigating.

The series stars Gillian Anderson as FBI Special Agent Dana Scully, David Duchovny as FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder and Mitch Pileggi as FBI Asst. Dir. Walter Skinner

Guest Cast include Doug Savant as Augustus Goldman, Jonathan Whitesell as Janitor, Rebecca Wisocky as Jackie Goldman, Chris Logan as Dr. Sanjay, Omari Newton as Rogers, Nikolai Witschl as Dr. Hill, Alison Wandzura as Cynthia, Aaron Douglas as Lindquist, Vik Sahay as Gupta, Ryan Robbins as Murphy, Christine Willes as Sister Mary, Kacey Rohl as Agnes, and Craig March as Detective Gordon.
