2.23 "Soft Light" Trivia Quiz

Answer: false

He actually killed the man across the hall. When he backed up from Morris' room, his shadow went under the door across the hall, reducing that man to pure energy.

Answer: to Scully: "We'll talk later."

He seemed to be joking, but the look Scully gave him was priceless! Their relationship was incredible, and, though the sexual tension and flirtation was sometimes overwhelming, I'm glad Chris Carter never got them romantically involved.

Answer: spontaneous human combustion

Detective Ryan asked him before he left the hotel, and he said that at "first blush", thought the case involved spontaneous human combustion. Scully looked a bit dismayed and, after giving Ryan some words of encouragement, followed Mulder down the hall to ask if he was having some fun. He said he wasn't and started citing examples of spontaneous human combustion.

Answer: utility belt

When they got to the Wysnecki residence, they found the bulb in the street lamp unscrewed. Mulder took it out and shone a little red laser through it, which he'd professed to have bought at the local hardware store for $49.95. When a fingerprint was revealed, Scully quipped, "Neat trick. For your birthday I'll buy you a utility belt."

Answer: cops

The cops stopped him to ask him some questions, but made him step into the light. When they approached him, they entered his shadow and were turned into pure energy, diminishing them to singed spots on the pavement.

Answer: train station

They found him on the tapes from the station staring at the floor. Mulder later figured out that he sat at the station because there was soft light, and effectively eliminated his shadow.

Answer: a woman trying to survive in the boy's club

When Detective Ryan and her superior, Detective Barron, took the case from Scully and Mulder, Scully gave it up without a fight. Mulder followed her down the hall, accusing her of putting Ryan's ambition ahead of the case. Scully stopped in her tracks and exclaimed, "Ambition!? She's a woman trying to survive in the boy's club; I know how she feels." Mulder then reminded her that Scully had never put her own ambitions ahead of her work.

Answer: X

He turned the power off and then came to the hospital with two men who taped his mouth and tied his hands. Before they could transport him, the lights came back on, reducing the two henchmen to pure energy. X avoided Banton's shadow but was unable to stop Banton from running away.

Answer: false

She tried, but Banton stepped forward so that she was in his shadow, reducing her to pure energy.

Answer: false

Scully and Mulder thought it was Banton they saw die in the accelerator, but later Mulder theorized that it might have been Dr. Davey whom they saw. Though he never knew for sure, Mulder was right; X had killed Davey and put him in the accelerator, and then kidnapped Banton and took him to a government facility for ongoing research. From the tear running down his cheek, one can pretty much assume that Banton was miserable with what the rest of his life would consist of.
