In the conclusion of the two-part
X-Files story beginning with "Nothing Important Happened Today," the strange woman (
Lucy Lawless) who caused the EPA official's death, which Doggett (
Robert Patrick) is investigating, turns out to be Shannon McMahon, who claims to be one of the "super soldiers" who have driven former X-Files agent Mulder into hiding. Though no longer officially connected with the X-Files, Scully (
Gillian Anderson) tries to help Doggett and Reyes (
Annabeth Gish) ferret out the connection between Shannon McMahon and an attempt to contaminate the nation's water supply. As the three protagonists zero in on a secret naval laboratory, it becomes abundantly clear that Assistant Director Follmer (
Cary Elwes) is not dealing from the top of the deck. "Nothing Important Happened Today II" was first telecast on November 18, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
